New Beginnings Group Homes sits at 3509 S Green Bay Rd in Racine and offers a variety of living choices like independent living, assisted living, and memory care with places called Fountain Hills Apartments, Elizabeth Gardens, Harmony of Racine, Home Harbor Assisted Living, Willowgreen Assisted Living, The Parkview, Artisan Senior Living Racine, Stafford Manor, St Monica's Senior Citizens Home, and Walnut Grove of Racine, with residences that come in apartment style, condos, private rooms, double rooms, and suites for different needs and preferences, some with private full baths-and some made bigger to help frail seniors, while others suit active folks who want more space and privacy. Each room or apartment often has individual climate control, the emergency call system, and sometimes access to outdoor patios or gardens, and small pets can stay with their owners, since the community keeps pet gardens and outdoor spots for walking, and the staff take care of snow removal and transportation security. The community supports different levels of care, like independent folks who want their own activities and upkeep-free living, and those who need more help like daily care, medication help, special meal routines, and even memory care plans, since they welcome people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's always staff on hand-sometimes awake 24 hours-with the capability for insulin support where needed. Residents can stay in private or semi-private suites, and the place tries to match the care to each person's awareness, mobility, and health conditions, with a resident-first approach and personalized care plans, offering board and care, respite care for a short breather for families, or long-term stays, with access to in-home care and a LifeCare program for ongoing support.
There's plenty to do, because the community has a game room, sewing room, billiard room, clubhouse, art studio, auditorium, ballroom, bank/ATM, library, computer lab, sauna, jacuzzi, health room, fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, bocce ball, walking trails, and both indoor and outdoor areas to relax or spend time with neighbors. Regular music and pet therapy programs, outdoor relaxation, and creative programs help people stay active and connected, and the place holds scheduled trips with a bus or van for shopping, doctor visits, and even religious services, along with housekeeping and home maintenance so folks don't have to worry about chores. House-made meals, a mobile barber or hairdresser, movie entertainment, resident events, scheduled fitness, and wellness programs, including support from a personal trainer, round out the services, and the staff pays attention to anyone needing extra help getting in and out of the bath, grooming, or dressing, with special care for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. The capacity isn't huge-usually up to eight residents in each group home-so the setting feels more closely knit, and the community works to provide a safe, supportive atmosphere without feeling too crowded. This community combines communal living and independent options, always aiming to give care that lets seniors stay as active or as supported as they need, whether it's just enjoying the outdoor spaces or getting help with daily tasks, all with an eye toward keeping things home-like and compassionate.
