Caribe Assisted Living II

Caribe Assisted Living II sits in Racine, Wisconsin, in a quiet spot on Douglas Avenue, and you'll find it licensed as an Adult Family Home with space for up to four residents, which makes things feel small and manageable, just kind of like a regular house where everyone can get to know each other, and with all those services and supports in place, folks get help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, moving around, and there's always someone around, day and night, to make sure everyone's safe and comfortable. The building's set up for wheelchairs, so getting around's not a problem, and there's help for people transferring from one spot to another if needed, plus you get housekeeping, laundry, and someone helping out when it's time to move in, which really does make the transition a bit easier for families and residents alike. Meal service includes options for folks with allergies or diabetes, and they go about fixing meals to fit those needs, served in the dining room almost like a restaurant, giving people a chance to gather and chat at mealtimes, and if you want some fresh air, there's a garden outdoors and some walking paths to wander, which most people find relaxing. The rooms all come furnished, so you don't have to worry about lugging a bed or a chair, and there are telephones in the rooms and an emergency alert system, too, in case somebody needs help right away. There's parking out back or nearby, and you'll find daily activities scheduled, things like movie nights or other community events where people can join in as they're able, and even if you need coordinated health care, they're set up to work alongside outside providers, keeping all those services connected, which can be a real comfort as folks' needs start to change. Caribe Assisted Living II is under the supervision of the state, with legal approval as an Adult Family Home under license #0016684, but it's important to note that they aren't certified for Medicare, so you'll need to keep that in mind when looking at paying for care. This spot covers assisted living and helps those who need memory care, nursing services, independent living, or even continuing care, and because the group is small you get a pretty person-centered place that can make a difference if what you're after is a supportive setting with personal attention instead of a big, impersonal facility.
