Harvest Home Senior Living - Bancroft Haus sits on the quiet edge of Howards Grove, Wisconsin, looking out over farmland where deer, turkeys, and local birds go by, and the campus has four separate homes called Cameo House, Courtland House, Bancroft House, and Braeburn House, each with eight beds so the setting feels more like a family house than a big facility. This is a Christian-based and family-owned place where staff support residents' physical, mental, and spiritual needs, often working with local clergy to provide religious services and Bible study for those who want them. Each private bedroom feels roomy, has big windows, closets, wardrobes, and its own bathroom with a walk-in shower, and the shared spaces include an open kitchen with a dining area and large windows, a cozy living room with a gas fireplace, a salon, a spa room with a walk-in tub, laundry, an activity room with a piano, and an open patio, so everyone can find a comfortable spot.
The homes sit in a quiet neighborhood and each has large parking areas close by. This setting aims to deliver a simple, hassle-free lifestyle, with on-site help for chores like housekeeping and laundry, and there's always something to do, with movie nights, Bible study, scheduled events, and community-sponsored activities to help everyone stay busy and social. Residents get home-cooked meals, and staff can help with special diets, including meals for those with allergies or diabetes, and they offer all-day dining to suit different routines. The focus is always on comfort, safety, and respect, so the staff keeps a close 4:1 caregiver-to-resident ratio, offering help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, along with 24-hour supervision and coordination with healthcare providers. For those living with mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, or advanced dementia, the place is set up with secure outdoor areas, supervision, exit alerts, activity programs, dementia waivers, and trained staff who know how to keep everyone safe yet engaged.
The facility isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and generally doesn't accept Medicare, but it is licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Aging or Veteran's Services and follows all state and local rules. Bancroft Haus has both assisted living and board-and-care home services, as well as memory care. Residents live in a home-like atmosphere which supports independence and privacy through private rooms with large windows, while common areas and walking paths-including garden spaces-bring new views and places to move around safely. Emergency alert systems are present for extra peace of mind, and there's move-in coordination, transportation help, and parking for when families come to visit. With medication management, hospice waivers, and personalized attention for each resident, the community tries to provide comfort, support, and respect for everyone, giving families peace of mind while residents enjoy a quiet, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere.
