Harbor Hope in Neenah, Wisconsin, is a small assisted living community that cares for up to four residents at a time, so it feels pretty cozy and close-knit, and people usually get to know each other well since you see the same faces most days, which can be nice if you like a calm place that's more like a home than a big building. Apartments come fully furnished, and seniors can pick from studio, one-bedroom, and shared-unit options, each with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and air-conditioning, and the place allows both cats and dogs so people who miss a pet don't have to go without one. There's a focus on support for daily tasks, so staff help residents with bathing, dressing, medication reminders and set-up, transfers, toileting, and scheduled bathroom check-ins, always keeping safety a top concern with features like pull cords and in-room emergency systems, and there's always someone around at all hours if help is needed.
The Harbor Hope team arranges transportation for doctor visits and pharmacy runs, and they manage care coordination with healthcare providers, plus a nurse visits routinely to monitor health and provide checkups, which works well for folks who need ongoing attention or customized care plans that adjust if needs change. Memory care services are available here, including support for Alzheimer's and dementia, and Parkinson's disease care is another thing they offer, along with post-acute and rehabilitation services and on-site physical or occupational therapy, which helps people recover or maintain their strength. There's help with incontinence and feeding if needed, and bathing assistance is provided for residents with limited mobility.
Daily activities and social events happen right in the community, like movie nights, card games, gardening in the outdoor space, or just relaxing near the walking path and gardens, and the fitness and wellness center helps people stay active. Housekeeping and linen services, laundry, maintenance-free living, and even dry cleaning keep chores off residents' minds. Meal preparation and service takes special diets seriously, using mostly organic ingredients, so those with diabetes, allergies, or other dietary needs can safely enjoy their meals in the spacious dining room or a private dining space if preferred, and snacks are offered throughout the day. Cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone services are part of the package so people stay in touch or watch what they want, and a library is around for those who still love a good book. The location means that cafes, parks, physicians, pharmacies, and a place of worship are all close by, and having a hospital nearby is reassuring for medical emergencies. Fall prevention programs, scheduled bathroom reminders, and a 24-hour emergency call system add extra peace of mind. Harbor Hope keeps things simple and restful, with a home-like setting, and provides steady, individualized care for people wanting comfort and safety as they age.
