Anita's Gardens is an award-winning collection of Assisted Living Facilities nestled in Southeastern Wisconsin, serving communities with a deep-rooted culture of caring. Family owned and operated, Anita's Gardens offers more than just a place to reside; it strives to create a warm, welcoming environment that residents truly feel is home. Founded in 2007, the vision behind Anita's Gardens traces back to the personal legacy of Anita, a caregiver who dedicated herself to the well-being of her loved ones. After honoring Anita’s life and the lives of their loved ones, the founders sought to extend that spirit of compassion and positivity to a wider community.
At the heart of Anita's Gardens is a mission to enrich the aging experience by providing opportunities for residents to engage in active, purposeful, and fulfilling lives. Each day is shaped around encouraging connections, meaningful activity, and genuine engagement—not just for residents, but also their families and staff. The guiding philosophy revolves around the understanding that life must be lived forwards, even as it is best understood by reflecting on cherished memories, a sentiment reflected in the quotation, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
The facilities, located in Grafton and Port Washington, are carefully designed to foster a sense of belonging and community. Whether it’s residents gathering together for gardening activities after a session of yoga or sharing meals and stories in a cozy communal space, Anita’s Gardens stands out for its commitment to nurturing mind, body, and spirit.
