Caraton Commons on Humboldt #1 sits near the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus and has two buildings-one for elderly residents needing help and another for those needing memory care, so you've got people who can get what fits best for themselves, whether they walk in on their own or need more support day to day. The community handles all sorts of needs, covering assisted living, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other dementia, and even independent living if someone's still pretty active but wants to be with others their age. They've got nurses on staff all the time, a doctor you can call, and visiting therapists such as speech, occupational, physical, even podiatrists and dentists who come in. Staff are there 24 hours and can manage medications, help with diabetes including insulin and blood checks, with an eye on those needing reminders or a gentle nudge for basic things like grooming, bathing, dressing, and meals, and the staff get described as helpful, kind, and full of cheer, which is what some look for most days.
There's memory care in a secure building where they keep an eye on anyone at risk of wandering, using bracelets with alarms to let staff know if anyone heads off where they shouldn't, and that part is set up for folks with tough behaviors, confusion, or even aggression-so people can stay where they get good watchful care with enough privacy and dignity left as much as possible. The place takes non-ambulatory residents, and if someone needs two people or a mechanical lift to move, or if incontinence makes things harder, staff can handle that, and it's the same if hospice is ever needed or someone wants to age in place, getting more help as the years go by without leaving the building.
Meals are regular and planned by chefs to be healthy, with vegetarian choices available, and residents eat together when they want; plus there are common areas-indoors and out-for visiting, eating, or activities. Activities cover movement, games, socializing, and chances to keep sharp mentally. There's parking for those still driving, transportation for appointments or errands, a beautician onsite, as well as animal care. Studio, semi-private, and two-bedroom rooms are all options for living arrangements, and fees are listed out for different room types, care levels, and extra services. Caraton Commons on Humboldt #1 belongs to a bigger group of sister communities-there are spots in Green Bay like Oak Park Place Green Bay, The Courtyard at Bellevue, and others, also with Caraton Commons on Humboldt #2 and other Arcadian sites-so families can look across a network if that helps. They offer consultation with local advisors to help families figure out what makes the most sense for their needs and budgets.
While reviews on Caraton Commons on Humboldt #1 itself haven't been listed in detail, the network as a whole gets rated around 4.6 stars out of 5, and families can find verified comments posted by residents or visitors to other sites. Many people like that the care team adapts plans to each person and there's always someone there. The buildings have wheelchair-accessible showers, full tubs, and safe secured entrances. Resident safety and support, along with chances for some fun and community, tend to be what folks notice after some time living there, and it's one of those places that feels part of Green Bay after many years of serving seniors.
