Artisan at Racine was kind of a smaller place, and they only had 24 residents at a time. It didn't smell like an old folks' home, for one thing, which is really cool, and it looked like it was being kept up well. They had a variety of rooms. Some were bigger and some were smaller. It had a nice ambiance and looked like a very nice, clean facility. They had a small gym setup where residents could do therapy. They could customize the gym for whatever the residents needed. It looked well-staffed, and we were impressed with it. It's a nice option or place to consider. It was one of the lower-cost facilities, which is a big deal. The rooms were clean and neat. The common areas were well-maintained. They had a secured refrigerator where residents could put their Tupperware if they wanted to bring in special stuff. The staff appeared to be right on top of things.

My mom was at Artisan Senior Living before she passed away. Her room was nice. It had enough room for a bed, a dresser, and a TV. It was just a regular bedroom size. The staff didn’t know that she had a broken hip. She sat for a day and a half before the staff noticed something was wrong with her.

Walnut Grove Racine assisted living facility was one of our stops while looking at places for our uncle. The lovely exterior and grounds were well tended with nice trees, landscaping and tree-lined walkways. The residents can safely navigate the outer grounds for exercise. There were lots of nice sized communal rooms including a library, large room for parties and rooms could be reserved for private events. The exercise center includes daily yoga and aerobics exercise classes. The equipment is well maintained. The dining areas were really nicely sized and decorated, with plenty of air and light throughout. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them.The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had great food options for all diets. The many planned activities included exercise classes, book readings and arts and crafts. The residents are also taken to many interesting cultural events in the region -- which hosts many art and music gatherings. Private living spaces were efficiently designed with thoughtful access to the things they need. The bathrooms had railings and safety seats. They can get help any time they need it and are checked on regularly. Extra care is taken for those who are less ambulatory. The staff was very attentive to all of the residents we saw and they appeared to be very content and well cared for.
