Parkview Gardens sits right in Racine, Wisconsin, and you'll find it has a mix of independent living, assisted living, and a secure memory care unit, so neighbors there can stay even if their needs change over time, and it's all in a setting for people aged 55 and up, with a campus close to shopping, groceries, medical clinics, and banks, which makes going out or running errands pretty simple, and it's one of only 18 spots in the Affordable Assisted Living program in Wisconsin, so it can be a good option if someone's looking for help that doesn't break the bank. Folks live in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, and each unit comes with kitchen appliances, so making meals is possible, but there are also meals available for those who want them, and assisted living apartments come with private, accessible bathrooms, too, so people keep their privacy while getting help when needed, and there's plenty of room to have visitors or family over.
Staff are there 24 hours a day for emergencies and to help residents with daily needs, just like help with moving from a bed to a wheelchair, taking medication, or keeping diabetes in check, and there's always someone keeping an eye out for everyone's safety with the in-house wireless call system so anyone can get help quickly. There's regular communication with families, staff send texts or make calls, so people know how their loved one's doing, and staff work with a full-time registered nurse making care plans tailored to each person, which can change over time if someone needs more or less help, and the care team, including nurses and aides, is known for being both attentive and compassionate, even sitting with residents through tough times like loss or grief.
Memory care at Parkview Gardens is set in a secure area, made to prevent wandering and confusion, and staff there have special training for working with folks who have Alzheimer's or dementia, and there are cognitive activities and routines focused on keeping residents safe and mentally active, along with a head nurse known for truly caring about each person's health and emotions.
Apartments are built for comfort, size, and easy access, with kitchen appliances, and the facility itself has a parking lot for those who still drive and transportation for those who don't, plus you'll find both indoor and outdoor options like a garden, entertainment rooms, spaces for people to gather and talk, and activity programs including yoga, tai chi, bingo, games, and weekly beautician visits, which help people stay social and active, not to mention fitness areas and wellness programs on site. The campus supports aging in place, so people can keep living where they're used to as their needs change, and they can count on housekeeping, laundry, and linen services to make life a little easier, while volunteers and families are encouraged to take part in daily life or activities.
Devotional services, both on and off site, are available for those who need spiritual support, and there's a strong focus on respecting everyone's independence and dignity, no matter what kind of help they need, and residents can choose what works for them in terms of how involved they want to be in social life or activities, which gives a sense of personal freedom. The senior fitness program tries to keep everyone moving for better health, and there are scheduled trips and shopping services for errands or getting out. Parkview Gardens' services and care meet state guidelines, and it works with different organizations like the Wisconsin Bureau on Aging and others to support its residents. Overall, it's a place where people can stay independent but know help is close by, with a staff that tries to build a community where everyone feels welcome, safe, and respected.
