Barrett House sits in Markesan, Wisconsin, and serves Green Lake County, where up to fifteen seniors can live in a quiet setting with professional staff who help with daily living and care needs, including assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias, non-ambulatory care, diabetes support, incontinence care, short-term respite, surgery recovery, adult daycare, home health, and even hospice care, so you'll find care options for most situations. The building offers eleven private bedrooms and two semi-private bedrooms, each with its own half bath for privacy and comfort, plus safety features like emergency call systems, smoke alarms, handicap access, and sprinklers. Meals are cooked by a culinary chef and managed by a registered dietitian, with a restaurant on-site and a dementia-friendly menu that adapts for special diets and weight management, and Barrett House also serves meals in common dining areas where residents gather.
The rooms come furnished and provide amenities like kitchenettes, and the facility has both indoor and outdoor spaces, such as a courtyard, gardens, a salon/barbershop, a fitness area, a games room, walking paths, and common rooms for socializing or devotional activities. The care team organizes daily activities, from arts and crafts to group games, outings, and exercise, along with massage therapy and individual events, because having things to do each day helps people feel at home. The staff help with bathing, getting dressed, meals, medication, and transportation, and a licensed nurse is on hand for 24-hour emergency support and health monitoring, so families know help's always there.
Barrett House schedules physical, occupational, and speech therapy for those who need it, whether recovering from illness, surgery, or just needing routine ongoing support, and supplies private and semi-private accommodations that include both personal and medical assistance as required. Residents also find comfort in the security provided with 24/7 staff, emergency response systems, and regular check-ins. While Barrett House creates a nurturing and supportive living environment, it works hard to provide the basics without a lot of extra frills, and aims to be a steady place where seniors and families feel taken care of for the long term or temporarily, with a focus on clear routines and essential support rather than anything fancy.
