This new enhanced assisted living and memory
care facility in Fox Point, Wis. is a 102,700-squarefoot,
two-story Community-Based Residential
Facility with underground parking. Designed by
GROTH Design Group, the facility specializes in
memory care for those with early to late-stage
dementia and Alzheimer's. The picturesque site
includes a safe and secured private patio with a
garden area for horticultural therapy.
The facility is split into one common space for all
the residents to use and four households on each
floor, which includes 20 individual resident units.

The households include their own public spaces
within their wing such as a great room, den, dining
area, and spa. The shared commons include
a lounge off the exterior garden, a group event
space, multi-purpose rooms, and staff offices.
Finishes and furniture were carefully selected
to provide a warm, loving, and welcoming home
purposely designed to enhance the quality of
life and encourage independence, safety, and
wellbeing for the residents. Each home has its
own theme to create defining personality for
each within the building. A restricted budget
and time frame was a challenge met with mindfully
selected materials and close watch over
the schedule. The selected finishes and use of
modular cabinets throughout provide economical
solutions while achieving a charming residential
aesthetic. Safety and security were critical design
concerns. The homes have been designed
with enhanced safety features such as resident
room bathroom call buttons, motion sensors,
and silent alarms. Circadian lighting technology
is used in the homes to enhance the residents'
quality of life.
