The facility is owned by the City of Westby, operated by BSJ Corporation, and is guided by a Community Advisory Board.

Our Wheelchair Accessible UTV

Explore the Outdoors with Our Accessible UTV!

Thanks to the support of Grant & Carrie Leum, who provided us with a generous monetary gift in loving memory of their parents, Gilbert & Anna Leum, Norseland Nursing Home was able to purchase an accessible UTV that brings joy to our residents, families, and friends. This special gift has created countless opportunities for fun, connection, and unforgettable memories! Our UTV, custom-built by Mobility Quad, has been a part of our community adventures since its arrival in 2022. Residents have enjoyed it at:

  • The Syttende Mai Parade and Westby Homecoming Parade
  • Scenic rides through Timber Coulee and Amish Country
  • Visits to neighboring farms and resident homes
  • Picnic lunches at local parks and restaurants
  • Shopping trips to explore local businesses, & much more!

Featuring three wheelchair-accessible seats and two additional bucket seats, the UTV allows residents and their families to experience the outdoors together safely and comfortably. Every ride is a chance to make new memories and celebrate life at Norseland!
