Nestled in the heart of Dousman, Wisconsin, Three Pillars Senior Living Communities offers a true continuum of care across a beautiful, nature-filled campus. From the moment we arrived, we could see why Grandma Snuggles liked it here. It is just a short drive from the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Whether you choose an apartment in the Independent Living “Village on the Square”, a cozy suite in Riverside Lodge Assisted Living and Memory Care, a homey residence at Compass Point Catered Assisted Living, or need short-term rehab in the U.S. News top-rater Hickory Suites, every neighborhood is designed around a blend of hospitality, security, and genuine connection.

Three Pillars has been serving seniors since 1905, and today stands as one of only 57 Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the nation. It’s mission-driven – any surplus goes back into improving services and programming, not shareholders’ pockets. This dedication shows in the longevity of staff members, many of who have been here for years, and in the warm, family-style atmosphere they create daily.

Each neighborhood offers restaurant-style dinning with menus crafted by chefs, plus opportunities for special themed dinners and a Supper Club in the soon-to-open Town Center. Wellness programs range from gently yoga and Tai Chi to strength training and guided stretching classes, ensuring the residents to stay strong, flexible, and engaged in the body, mind, and spirit.

Life is anything but dull. Monthly calendars are packed with social events – art shows in the Village art gallery, live performances, book clubs, seasonal outings, gardening clubs, volunteer opportunities, and intergenerational events so one can share your skills and make new friends of all ages.

For those requiring extra help, Catered Assisted Living and Memory Care at Riverside Lodge provides customized routines and higher staff-to-resident ratios. Staff receive specialized dementia-care training, focusing on person-centered activities that help preserve independence while ensuring safety. If you ever need a short-term boost after surgery or an illness, the hospitality-based Hickory Suites Rehab team will work with you on discharge planning from day one, so you can return home feeling your best.

The campus itself feels like a tiny village. In addition to trails, there’s a dog park by the Bark River for pet-friendly visits, garden homes overlooking wooded groves, and plenty of benches tucked under maples and oaks for birdwatching or quiet reading. Seasonal color bursts – from spring trillium to autumn maples – make every walk an opportunity to reconnect with nature and neighbors alike.

Every day at Three Pillars is an invitation to live fully, knowing that compassionate care and a lively community are always within an arm’s reach. Whether you are enjoying a farm-fresh breakfast on your private patio, cheering on friends at bingo night, or just strolling under the whispering pines, you can find a place that feels like home – today, tomorrow, and for all the seasons to come feels like home—today, tomorrow, and for all the seasons to come.
