Northport Group Home sits on Northport Drive in Madison and offers assisted living care as a small community-based residential facility, serving up to eight residents who want a more home-like setting without needing full nursing home care, and you'll find Elena Golden as the administrator. The place supports folks who need help with daily activities like washing, dressing, showering, or remembering to take medicine, and they're ready to provide extra help for those with higher needs-from help with mobility, special diets for things like diabetes or high blood pressure, and even backup with hygiene or toileting if someone asks. Programs suit residents with mental illness or who feel emotionally disturbed, and services meet HCBS compliance rules to make sure everyone gets the care that fits their needs. Residents get three hot home-cooked meals a day, and the menu's adjusted for allergies, diabetes, or other health issues when it comes up, so everyone's covered.
The home's designed for accessibility and comfort, supporting both private and semi-private bedrooms, with some spaces potentially set up for shared living to help with costs, and sometimes a kitchenette is included. You'll find a dining room for regular meals and community time, along with a small general store, a book room, a library, and computer access. Laundry and dry cleaning are available, which eases the daily chores, and the place keeps up a 24-hour security system as well as an emergency alert setup for safety. There's a nice bit of outdoor space with gardens and walking paths, so people can get fresh air and enjoy the yard, and community events like movie nights, craft plans, arranged group outings, and music are part of daily life. Game rooms, workouts, faith-based trips, travel to doctor's visits or errands, a potential traveling barber, and organized music or pet therapy help keep everyone engaged and active, and there's always encouragement for people to socialize or just relax if they'd rather.
Staff's always around and properly trained to answer questions and offer support, whether that's help with medications, mobility assistance, special diets, or support through tough emotional moments. You don't have to worry much about who pays; Northport Group Home accepts Medicaid, private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance, with monthly costs starting near $3,000 for assisted living, and it also supports affordable options for those needing low-income care. Hospice and respite care are available, too, and although memory care is mentioned, you won't find details here about specialized units for memory care. The home welcomes pets and offers a quiet, friendly, and safe place where seniors can stay as independent as possible but always know there's help close by, and move-in help gets folks settled with little stress. Northport Group Home is licensed by Wisconsin's Department of Social Services under certification ID 110130. Rooms and programs can change depending on what residents need at the time, so the place remains flexible, and the environment stays supportive and social, with a full calendar to keep everyone involved and comfortable.
