Elizabeth Gardens, located in Racine, is part of the Elizabeth Residence group and offers both assisted living and independent living options for adults age 55 and older. The community sits on 5.5 acres and features 30 assisted living apartments, with studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom floor plans that have plush carpeting, ample windows, and either wheelchair-accessible showers or full tubs for safety and ease, and residents can also bring their own furniture if they prefer. The facility uses a call light pendant response system and provides emergency alert systems and 24/7 awake staff, with assistance for bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and other activities of daily living, plus extra help for residents who need non-ambulatory care or have incontinence needs as long as they can manage it themselves. The team includes a Registered Nurse, visiting nurses, an Activity Coordinator, trained care staff, and visiting podiatrists, so the healthcare side extends to medication management, diabetic care with insulin injections and sliding scale therapy, and supervision for residents around the clock. There's weekly housekeeping, laundry (including linens and towels), meal preparation that covers three home-cooked meals per day-offering allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly options too-and furnished rooms with telephone and basic cable service.
Residents have access to lots of common areas like a living room, game room, library, media center, arts room, and a screened-in porch, with indoor spaces to gather and outdoor garden paths to enjoy the fresh air or walk the grounds, plus surface parking for residents and transportation available at a cost. People can bring their pets along because Elizabeth Gardens welcomes furry companions. There's a Hair and Nail Salon and a barber right on site, and the community organizes weekly outings, exercise classes, bingo nights, music entertainment, movie nights, and both community-sponsored and resident-run activities that help keep things active and social. Apartments are available month-to-month, and the property is convenient to busline transportation if anyone wants to get out and about. Elizabeth Gardens has both assisted living and memory care options with services tailored to residents' individual needs, including care for those in nearby areas like New Berlin, Oak Creek, Franklin North, and Franklin South. The community offers nutritious meals planned by chefs, keeps a thoughtful eye on comfort and safety, and provides elegant yet simple living spaces with a welcoming feeling as soon as you walk through the door. Staff members aim to keep everyone comfortable and safe, with supervision and support for those who need it and opportunities for relaxation and socialization for everyone. Fees cover a range of care needs, with added costs depending on the level of personal assistance and for second persons in an apartment, and respite care's also available. The atmosphere across Elizabeth Gardens stays friendly and down-to-earth, with a reputation for strong service and spaces where people can enjoy both privacy and neighbors close by.
