Ravenswood is a medium-sized senior living community on 2615 45th Avenue in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that offers assisted living, memory care, respite care, and hospice care for up to seven residents at a time, and it's the sort of place that's designed to feel homey and relaxed, where you'll find small buildings with names like Summer Home 2, Bright Start Adult Family Home, Celebre Place, Fall Home, Sunshine Manor, Danoski Adult Family Home, and Birch Home, each with its own licensed bed count and each set up for between 4 and 18 assisted living units depending on the facility, though the main Ravenswood home has a licensed capacity for six senior citizens, so things tend to be more personal and less crowded than you might expect at a bigger place. Residents get access to well-sized apartments-including private or shared bedrooms-that are furnished and set up for comfort, with safety features like around-the-clock security systems, panic or call buttons in every room, and plenty of common areas such as reading rooms, community gathering spaces, porches, gardens, and outdoor walking paths for fresh air and relaxation.
You'll find a complete menu of care services at Ravenswood, including daily support for activities of living like bathing, dressing, and sometimes even spoon feeding when it's needed, and for folks with Parkinson's or memory issues, there's specialized care that's focused on keeping them as independent as possible while staying safe, with memory care units that have secure doors, cognitive activities, and detailed care plans that tailor routines, staff support, and medication management for each person; it's not unusual to see residents here benefiting from regular check-ins by a registered nurse and always having a nurse on call if anything comes up, and on top of medical care, there's also 24-hour supervision from trained staff-sometimes even help with more complex needs like two-person transfers or insulin injections if required.
There's a real effort to keep life pleasant and comfortable, with amenities like homemade meals three times a day that can be adjusted for diabetes or special diets, and the dining room's set up for both regular meals and special occasion dinners, while laundry, cleaning, and linen services come standard, and the maintenance staff quietly keep apartments and shared areas tidy and in good shape. Residents can use cable TV, wi-fi, and telephone service as part of their daily life, and there's scheduled transportation for medical appointments, errands, or even religious outings, plus a barber, salon, and visiting hairdresser for grooming and haircuts. For activity, Ravenswood has exercise and wellness programs you'd see on the calendar every week, regular movie nights, reading groups, creative arts and crafts, board games, pet therapy, music activities, and community events, with expanded visiting hours to keep family and friends connected.
The property has landscaped grounds, porches and garden spaces, and both private and shared spaces for relaxation, along with community rooms for group gatherings and programs. Safety and comfort are top of mind, with features like emergency alert systems, medication help, secure memory care spaces, and tailored care plans made for each resident that are checked and updated as needs change. Families get some peace of mind knowing medication's handled, daily routines are supported, and the staff are trained and available day and night. Ravenswood doesn't take Medicare unless it's certified, but the community does accommodate people requiring different levels of support, like active seniors who just want to join in activities and those needing more regular help, providing individualized service for each person. The place works to create a welcoming, cozy, and safe home for seniors, families, and anyone looking for long-term or temporary care in Kenosha.
