Sheboygan Co Halfway House sits in a historic building from 1900 designed by William Weeks, showing off the Colonial Revival style with clapboard walls, classical details, and an Ionic veranda. This place has a long history and is known as a Sheboygan County Landmark, sitting on the Wisconsin Architecture and History Inventory. Here, you'll find different living spaces such as studio apartments, one-bedroom units, and some single and semi-private rooms. Some apartments even have their own washer and dryer, and the rooms fit people looking for senior living, assisted living, or memory care. There's a focus on helping people in recovery or dealing with mental health needs, since this is a halfway house and a community-based residential facility (CBRF) with sober living programs.
People living here can get help with washing, toileting, showering, moving around, and incontinence, and there's support for folks with dementia or Parkinson's disease. The staff provides help getting in and out of bed, plus there's 24/7 supervision. There are daily group sessions and life success programs to help residents with trust-building and mentorship, and case managers are easy to reach for direct support. Meals and snacks come included, and there's assistance available for laundry, trash, housekeeping, transportation, and home health needs. Residents can bring cats and dogs, use the arts and crafts space, play games, walk along manicured paths, visit the fitness and library areas, or relax with private dining and entertainment. Family events happen on a schedule, making it feel more like home, and you'll find a barbershop, salon, and a café with flat screen TVs.
The facility works as a nonprofit and keeps rent reasonable. They run four different homes-some for women, some for men-across Ontario, Clara, Erie, and North 36th Streets in Sheboygan, with some apartments set aside for families, veterans, and others moving on from other care, homelessness, or recovery. Security stays tight with keypad entry and staff on duty at all times, and visiting hours are expanded to make family visits easier. The two CBRF houses-The Abode at Ontario Avenue and The Abode at Clara Avenue-can each take up to eight people and provide a family-like feel. Residents find structure, support, and advocacy so they can work on their treatment plans, with steady programs and tailored care for those leaving addiction or mental health care. The place keeps a stable and structured environment, helping people focus on their recovery, whether they're seniors needing extra help or adults in transition, and no one has to carry the stress alone.
