New Perspective Howard is a senior living community in Howard, Wisconsin, at 2790 Elm Tree Hill in Brown County, serving frail elders and physically disabled people with a range of care types, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The place is designed for those who want support but still want to stay active, offering several cozy and spacious living options, such as studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments, or cottages, with modern kitchens, in-apartment washer and dryer units, and pet-friendly policies. There's a warm and friendly feel throughout the building, with staff always on hand and trained to provide help with bathing, dressing, medication, or more specialized memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or other dementia. They keep things running day and night, with a nurse on-site and on-call 24/7, and support for daily needs like housekeeping and laundry.
There's plenty to keep busy, like a warm-water pool, pub, bistro, wood shop, great room for games, movie theater, and a garden patio, as well as an on-site library for reading or movies, and a chapel for religious services. Scheduled daily activities fill the calendar, with card games, dance nights in the hall, gardening, book clubs, live music, and social hours, plus outings into the community. The "Living Life on Purpose®" program tries to help people enjoy life in ways that make sense for them, and there are supportive spaces for relaxation-like fireplaces and lounge areas-alongside fitness rooms and walking paths for those who want to stay active. Dining is handled by chefs on-site, making fresh, healthy meals that aim to please both taste and nutritional needs. Those who need extra help can access on-site therapy services-physical, occupational, and speech-and there's always nurse support, along with transportation, resident parking, and beauty or barber shop services.
For residents who need memory care, the facility sets aside secure areas and specialized programs designed for safety, support, and mental wellness, including a memory care courtyard and structured daily schedules. The whole place is laid out to be comfortable and easy to live in, offering group activities, outings, and spaces for pets, all within a community-based residential setting that includes on-site and off-site activities, complimentary transportation, and services for frail or physically disabled seniors, though people in wheelchairs may find accessibility limited. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The community aims to help people age in place, keep their independence as much as possible, and feel at home, with staff around to help as little or as much as needed.
