Arbor View Memory Care (Community Based Residential Facility)

Arbor View Memory Care sits about three miles outside the town of Burlington, Wisconsin, and is a Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) licensed in the state, with a focus on memory care for seniors, especially those with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, so residents live in a place that's both homelike and secure, with 24-hour supervision and a wireless emergency pendant system that helps staff respond quickly if someone needs help. The building has 10 beds, making it medium-sized but still more personal and easier to get to know everyone, and the staff here are friendly and helpful, providing round-the-clock support with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, toileting, and medication management, and they'll tailor care plans to each resident's needs, updating them as things change. There are different room layouts, including studio units and shared apartments, all with emergency systems, and residents who want a little extra independence can join in on the daily fitness classes, planned activities, outings, and wellness programs that happen on a regular basis, where a Life Enrichment Coach learns everyone's interests and dislikes to help pick out activities that residents actually enjoy. The community space holds a movie theatre, game room, chapel, arts & crafts studio, reading room, spa, steam room area, greenhouse, and landscaped courtyard with walking paths and yard spaces, which are set up so residents can get fresh air while staying safe, plus activities cover music therapy, pet therapy, and board games so people have choices. The chef prepares three daily homemade meals, and there are special diet options for residents with conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and there's also a private dining room when a more intimate setting is needed, and a mobile stylist or barber can visit for hair care. Transportation help exists for medical appointments, errands, and trips to religious facilities, which some find handy. Parking is available for visitors, and a 24-hour security team keeps watch over the premises. Many find the place has a cozy, homey ambiance-residents and staff often chat and share stories, so the community feels less like an institution and more like a tight-knit neighborhood for older adults who need support with everyday activities and memory care. This facility doesn't take Medicare for payment, but costs are often lower than a full-time nursing home. Arbor View ranks as the fourth highest-rated memory care community in Burlington, with a rating of 8 out of 10, and it's designed for seniors who want to hold on to their independence as long as possible, even as they need increasing help with daily living and memory support.
