Home Harbor Assisted Living in Racine, Wisconsin, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who need ongoing clinical oversight can receive monitoring for oxygen therapy, night-time wakefulness, and diabetes—whether managed by oral medication or injections. The staff is prepared to accommodate physician-ordered special diets and nutrition plans, and the community is licensed to admit adults under 60 when appropriate. Supports are in place for people living with moderate dementia, providing structure and consistent routines designed to reduce confusion and anxiety.
The nursing team includes an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call around the clock, and caregivers are awake and available during the overnight hours. All employees receive background checks, and the building is equipped with door alarms, a pull-cord system, and personal emergency response devices that alert staff immediately. On-site medical services include visiting podiatry, access for residents with psychiatric diagnoses, and a therapy room for rehabilitation. Help with bathing, dressing, and toileting is available when some physical assistance is needed, while eating remains a self-care activity to encourage independence. Transfer support ranges from standby assistance to one-person help for wheelchair or walker users.
Apartments can include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable, and in-unit laundry, although not every unit has every feature. Residents are free to paint or decorate their space, and housekeeping services are provided on a scheduled basis. Independent Living residents can opt for housekeeping as well, allowing them to focus on their own routines while the staff handles cleaning.
Dining follows a set menu with diet modifications managed by clinical staff to reflect diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered needs. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Independent Living participants may choose a monthly meal plan that gives them access to the main dining program while still retaining flexibility to cook in their own kitchenette.
The campus provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and outdoor smoking areas. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation in addition to proximity to public transit.
