The Carrington at De Forest, part of the Carrington Group, sits at 206 N Main St in De Forest, Wisconsin, and features a mix of care types for seniors, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing, with different names for their programs and common areas, making the place feel a little more personal. The facility offers private and semi-private suites, some with private showers and individual climate control, plus there's access to whirlpool spas and both indoor and outdoor pools, including a heated pool and lap pool, so you often see residents out enjoying the water or walking on trails that wind through the landscaped gardens. Special attention goes into safety and accessibility, from emergency call systems to wheelchair-accessible showers, and the building allows pets, so small cats and dogs can stay here with their owners, which helps everyone feel a little more at home. The staff provide assisted living services, independent living help, and memory care, as well as support for those who need rehabilitation, diabetic or ambulatory care, or help with daily tasks like medication management and incontinence.
Meals are served daily with vegetarian choices available, and the community includes places you might not expect like a country club style dining room, bistro grille, private dining rooms, and even a chapel, community center, library, computer lab, and something called a Living Care Program, plus spaces like a ballroom, art studio, cyber café, and a performing arts center for entertainment and education. Social and recreational activities run both on-site and off, with programs in creative arts and horticulture, game and craft rooms, a billiard room, putting green, bocce court, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, and even a sports court for pickleball and sand volleyball, so there's usually something going on for people who like to stay active or get involved.
There are scheduled transportation services with residence buses, vans, and cars, and 24/7 visiting hours, which families appreciate, along with laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, and on-site postal services to make daily life easier. The staff take care of problems quickly and try to help everyone feel comfortable, and the atmosphere is pretty friendly with common areas for gatherings, indoor and outdoor patios, a wellness center, exercise room, beauty shop, and plenty of spaces for devotional services or quiet reading, whether it's in the library or out in the garden. The place isn't a full-scale nursing home with around-the-clock medical staff, but it does offer help with many medical and personal needs at an intermediate level, which suits many seniors who don't need 24-hour skilled nursing but can't live on their own.
The Carrington at De Forest lets residents live as independently as they can while getting the care or support they need, and allows both cats and dogs, making daily life a bit brighter for many. Its programs and amenities are varied and centered on giving seniors choice, safety, and a bit of comfort, all in one place.
