Newport Home sits in a quiet Manitowoc neighborhood at 3609 Hecker Road and has been serving seniors since 2007, licensed under both Wisconsin license numbers 11633 and 9730. The building holds eight residents as a Community Based Residential Facility. People can choose between communal living spaces, one-bedroom units, or small studios with simple, practical designs, and most spaces are private or semi-private, with a few kitchenettes. Staff help with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, and bathroom use, and personal care assistants provide support as needed, including medication help, incontinence care, and walking or wheelchair assistance. Some residents come for respite care or hospice, while others stay long-term, and the facility provides memory care for those with dementia or other cognitive issues.
Residents get three homecooked meals a day, with special diets for diabetes, allergies, or other health needs, plus snacks, and all-day dining options. There's an emergency call system in each room, regular health checks, and staff available 24 hours. Nurses and occupational therapists are available as needed, and Newport Home can provide podiatry and wound care services. They accommodate transfers, sometimes even two-person ones, and help manage insulin and chronic health problems like hypertension and diabetes by changing meal plans if necessary. There's a front-line elder care team, and care plans are made for each person, so help fits what each resident needs.
Amenities here are meant to keep life comfortable and a bit easier. The building's got a game room, library, chapel, private dining space, and café. Residents can use the salon or barber, do their own laundry or request laundry and dry cleaning services, and there's WiFi, cable, on-site parking, and a sprinkler system for safety. There are scheduled activities like arts and crafts, music therapy, animal therapy, movie nights, memorial nights, and group outings. People can join clubs, attend fitness classes, enjoy massages, or spend time in the garden or on walking paths. Every week, there are group programs, community-sponsored events, and social dining times to help everyone stay busy and connected.
The facility provides special touches, like the nearby Aurora Anticoagulation Clinic for medical visits and the Rosethorn Community Church as a neighbor. Staff can arrange transportation for errands, doctor appointments, or faith-based events, and the site supports both independent and assisted living, so seniors can stay as self-sufficient as possible. Newport Home accepts private pay, long-term care insurance, Veterans Aid and Attendance, and works with families to support a smooth move. They host regular tours, take questions, and try to help folks feel welcome and listened to, all while making sure the atmosphere is peaceful and home-like, with activities and support that encourage everyone to live as fully as they want. Facility amenities can sometimes change, so it's best to check for the details before moving in. Newport Home stays focused on quality care, safety, and letting each resident find comfort while keeping as much independence as possible.
