Elizabeth Residence North

Elizabeth Residence North sits on 5.5 acres at 9329 South 48th Street, Franklin, Wisconsin, and offers several kinds of care for older adults, since there's the Bayside CBRF, which is the memory care unit with secure exits, two dedicated memory care sections, and around-the-clock supervision and alert systems, and there's also the Bayside RCAC, which is more like an apartment building for those who want assisted living with some personal support but a good amount of independence, so folks who live here get help with dressing, bathing, transfers, taking medicine, diabetes care, and incontinence care, while the staff trained in Alzheimer's and dementia watch over those who need extra support and always know if someone tries to exit, and they have bilingual caregivers who speak English, and they make sure every resident can reach staff through a 24-hour call system. The place is laid out so it's bright, with oversized windows and skylights bringing in natural light, there are large hallways and outdoor verandas with raised flower beds, plenty of common areas, and several garden courtyards where people can garden or just sit, plus they hold concerts out there and all sorts of activities for residents, and indoors, there's a dining room with all-day and restaurant-style meals, with food that covers all sorts of special diets-things like allergy restrictions and diabetes-and the chefs and meal planners work out menus suited to everyone's needs. Residents get three meals a day, housekeeping, laundry, and someone helps coordinate moving in. There's an onsite barber and salon, an arts room, walking paths, movie nights, devotional activities, both staff-run and resident-run events, and a full schedule of community programs, and the office staff take care to set up services for the people of Franklin and the surrounding area. People who need extra help due to mild cognitive impairment or advanced dementia have community-based care waivers available, so everyone gets help if and when they need it, and for those who want to stay active, there are both onsite and offsite activities and the daily routines encourage social connections. The Elizabeth Residence North is part of a group of places, with related communities like Elizabeth Gardens in Racine and Elizabeth Residence in Glendale, so there's a broad experience base and the chance to meet others with similar needs. The whole place is designed to keep people safe and comfortable, put them in a homey spot, and let them live as they choose, with support that fits the individual needs of seniors living in the Franklin, Wisconsin area.
