About Library Terrace Assisted Living in Kenosha, Wisconsin

Small enough to be home-like yet large enough to offer the amenities and services one might expect in larger senior communities. Library Terrace offers a continuum of care in a long-established, single-family home neighborhood. Located adjacent to the Kenosha Southwest Neighborhood Library, the campus is conveniently situated near Festival Foods, Walgreen's pharmacy, banking, medical clinics, churches, restaurants and much more! The campus consists of Library Terrace Apartments ? 26 apartment units where seniors can age in place --- and Library Terrace Suites ? 20 units for seniors with higher care needs. Offering a continuum of care allows seniors to move while still relatively independent and then age in place as their needs change over time. Our chefs get to know the food preferences of each of our residents and menus feature fresh fruits and vegetables plus high-quality meats and fish. We offer life-enriching activities tailored to the interests of our residents and include a Senior Fitness program with yoga class. Our full-time on-campus registered nurse does weekly wellness checks and works closely with our direct care staff to monitor changes in condition. The smaller building size can ease the transition from a home of many years and allows new residents to quickly get to know the staff and other residents. Service packages are based on the nurse assessment and customized to meet individual needs. Levels of care allow service levels to be increased or decreased as resident needs change. At Library Terrace the focus is on the whole person including physical, spiritual, social and mental well-being.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I was very blessed to find such a wonderful place for my Mother and Father. My Father passed away, but my Mom still lives in their one bedroom apartment. There is a cleaning lady who comes once a week and also does the laundry. I love Mom’s charming apartment. There are many meals that she enjoys very much. She participates in exercise class, enjoys Thursday Bingo, and several other games that they play. Library Terrace has a vegetable garden and also grows herbs that are used in their meals. They have programs with little children that come and also therapy dogs, which she loves. I feel my Mom is safe and receives excellent care. My Mom is also only a few blocks from my house, so it is very convenient for me to visit her! Library Terrace Assisted Living is the best, and I am so grateful that she is there!!

Provider Response

Thank you for your lovely comments. We are also blessed to be able to have your mom here - and to have had your father living here, too - allowing us the opportunity to make your mother's life full of ease, fun and good food in a safe and cozy environment. Everyone who works here is better for having your mom in their lives.

My mom is at Library Terrace Assisted Living-Suites. The facilities are very nice. The staff are very nice. The food is very good. My mom loves it there. The negative is that, if she ever got to the point where she needed a lift to get her up and down and everything, they wouldn't be able to support her. And then the other negative would be that they only have two rooms for Medicaid, and eventually my mom is going to have to go on Medicaid, so that's a little scary. The staff are very helpful and very friendly. She has not had any concerns about not having help when she needs it. She said the food is very good. They have activities in the community room, like for Cinco de Mayo they had a party out on the patio. They have raised garden beds that the residents can help with, they do games, and bingo is a regular. They do activities every day. Everything is in really good shape. The maintenance people were very helpful in getting my mom set up in a room, getting her TV mounted to the wall, and all that kind of stuff. It's outrageously expensive, but everywhere is. They're very comparable or maybe even a little bit on the lower end.

We like Library Terrace Assisted Living for Mom because it's right in her neighborhood. The staff was extremely caring, and the facility was small enough that it had a very homey feeling. It had received an award for one of the best facilities in the Kenosha area. We were very comfortable with the facility and the other amenities it offered. The staff members that gave the tour were very personable, very caring, knew the patients by their first name, and seemed to give them individualized attention. They have a hair salon, they have exercise equipment for the clients, and they have a patio where they can go outside and enjoy the neighborhood. It's in a residential setting. They have an activities director that plans activities throughout the week for the residents.

Provider Response

Thank you for taking the time to review our assisted living community. We are so glad you noticed the pride we have in the personalized care we offer in our warm, homelike setting. Our assisting living community is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood that it makes it an ideal location for locals and transplants alike! We appreciate the care and concern you have for finding the right fit for your loved one and we are thankful to you for considering Library Terrace. Our vibrant life enrichment program, customized service packages, and friendly care team all work together to create a top notch experience for our residents and their friends and families! Please let us know if there is anything we can further assist you with at any time!

We just came from Library Terrace Assisted Living. It was clean. I liked it. It was nice. We just looked at the assisted living. We saw a gathering room, and we saw their patio; both were nice. They had bingo. They had an activity director there. It was a homey atmosphere. It was well maintained, and they were in the process of doing some renovating. They were painting, which was nice. It had a fresh look.

Provider Response

Maryjo, Thank you for the Kind remarks. We are always working on keeping our community fresh and updated for our residents and families. Our life enrichment director has been with us for 11 yrs and loves her residents. They really are family to all of us. Being a smaller community we get to know our residents so well and they feel like it is their home. We are hoping for a healthy and safe rest of 2021!!!

Was pleased to learn that my cousin could keep her cat at this facility. The rooms are spacious and homey with large windows that give a great view. Lunch and dinner are exceptionally made with a variety of fresh ingredients. The talented chefs give personal individual care to everyone at every meal. The owners and staff always go the extra mile to make their residents feel at home. Many activities are planned throughout the day. Which becomes a good way to make friends. I have recommended this facility to other friends. After looking at other places like I did, they agreed that this was the best place to call home.

Provider Response

At Library Terrace we understand the importance of accommodating resident pets whenever possible to do so. We Love having Furry Residents too! Thanks for the shout-out for the Chefs. We have some remarkably talented staff who create wonderful made-from-scratch dining experiences using only the freshest produce, fruits, meats and fish. Don’t forget about our on-site gardens where vegetables and herbs are picked minutes before they are added to our meals during the summer months. Thanks again for your 5 Star Review and your recommendation of Library Terrace to others who are looking for a high quality, pet-friend assisted living community in Kenosha, Wisconsin!

We visited several assisted living facilities in the area with my dad. All were good, but The Library Terrace stood out as the best match for my dad. He is in his 90’s and uses a walker but tires on long distances. Since there are only 20 suites on one floor the shorter walks several times a day gives him the right amount of exercise that he remains independent. Also, he has some memory problems, so having the centrally located large dining room and short hallways has made it easier for him to get around. The staff is fabulous. Kind, patient, courteous are the words that come to mind. They know my dad very well and do not hesitate to contact me if something just does not seem right. The food is excellent. He is given a choice at each meal and it is served restaurant style. There are numerous activities scheduled per day. The activity director has a wonderful knack of encouraging my dad to participate in activities. He loves to be outside during the nice weather and makes sure he makes it out to the covered patio. The Library Terrace is very clean and well maintained. When you walk in, there is a feeling of comfort and being home.

Provider Response

We are grateful that you took the time to provide Library Terrace Assisted Living in Kenosha a 5 Star review. We appreciate hearing that your dad’s experience has been positive and supportive of his needs. Our staff make all the difference and do their utmost to create a home-like and up-lifting environment for each of our residents. Thank you for your feedback and please let us know if there is every anything that we can do for your father or your family.

Absolutely incredible facility with a staff that genuinely cares about the physical and mental wellness of the residents. A first-class operation with great employees. Did I mention that the food is from scratch and outstanding.

Provider Response

Thank you for your feedback and the 5 Star review. We agree that our incredible Library Terrace staff make all the difference – many of whom have worked on this campus for 5 to 10 years. Our chefs love our residents and it shows in the attention paid to each and every meal. This summer has been perfect for a bountiful harvest of fresh vegetables and herbs from our on-site gardens that elevate our dining program to the next level. We always appreciate hearing from the family and friends of our residents and never hesitate to let us know if we can do anything further to improve the experience of your family member.

Library Terrace Assisted Living was very clean and organized. The staff was very friendly. They just wouldn't be able to accommodate my father because he was bedridden. The dining room was clean, organized, and homey. Everything was well lit. Our questions were answered and they took their time. Everything was well maintained and it felt homey. There's ample parking.

Provider Response

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding Library Terrace Assisted Living. Unfortunately, like most other assisted living providers in our area we are unable to move-in a resident who is bedridden from the start. These individuals are typically cared for in a skilled nursing facility. However, when one of our already established residents has a decline in their health such that they become bedridden and are near the end of life we will may try to maintain them at our community with the help of hospice care. Those situations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

My dad is at Library Terrace. It's good. The people seem friendly. There are sufficient staff members to take care of my dad's needs. They don't have a lot of amenities because it is a small place. They have a library room with a TV if you want to go outside of your apartments. They have all the meals in an area where you can have your meals, they have three different spots outside where you can sit if you want to be outside, they have people that come in and do exercises with the residents, and they have some recreational activities too. My dad seems to like the food; he hasn't complained about it. Overall, the place is clean and updated, and the people are nice. The staff members have been very helpful. My dad has had a few issues, but they have been great with him.

Provider Response

Thanks so much for providing your review. We appreciate the feedback. Glad to hear that your dad is enjoying the made-from-scratch meals that our chefs prepare. As mentioned, we have Full Time staff at both of the buildings on the Library Terrace campus who provide a wide range of daily activities as well as our Senior Fitness program. In fact, one of our Life Enrichment Coordinators is in the process of becoming certified in Tai Chi and will be enhancing our Fitness Program with Tai Chi classes as well. We understand that many residents, like your dad, come to us experiencing some very difficult losses. It is indeed gratifying to hear that our staff have done an exceptional job in helping your dad with his transition to a new living environment while dealing with his grief. We are grateful that you took that time to share about your dad and your family’s positive experiences at Library Terrace!

Library Terrace has been a God-Send for our family. We are now blessed with the peace of mind that comes with knowing our Dad is safe and well-cared for. We tried what we could to keep him at home. Senior delivery meals were often found half eaten. The turnover with in-home care was so frequent we were never confident or comfortable having so many different people coming and going. He wasn’t eating healthy meals, he wasn’t staying hydrated, he was at risk for falls, and he was either sleeping or watching TV most of the day. His quality of life was gone. Life has changed for Dad. He is getting regular, “home-cooked” meals; he exercises daily, he participates in activities with other residents and keeps updated on current events. His Suite and the surrounding common areas are well-appointed, but homey. The number of suites is small enough that he knows all of his neighbors and the staff. Activity Director Robin has become a member of the family; Campus Nurse Sarah is attentive to anything that he needs. He remarks regularly on how quickly a staff member arrives when he calls – even if it is just to open the twist off cap off a drink. He has his own Suite decorated just as he likes it; the grounds are beautiful and provide an opportunity for bird watching and gardening. He is truly living in a community and I can't begin to say enough about his new home.

Provider Response

Your wonderful review of Library Terrace is a reminder to us as why we love working with Seniors and their families! We are so gratified to hear that your dad’s move to Library Terrace has transformed his life for the better. We appreciate the kudos your family offered to our staff members. We feel truly blessed to have found and retained such an exceptional team of long term employees. Robyn, who you mentioned, has working with our residents for over 8 years! Thank you for the heart-warming compliments but also please let us know if there is anything that we can do to improve the experience for your dad or your family.

Love this place! Mom has lived there a couple years and is very happy there. Staff Is wonderful and facility is very nice.

Provider Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to let us know how happy your Mom is at Library Terrace. We appreciate your feedback and agree that we have exceptional staff! Just one of the reasons why Library Terrace was voted as one of the best Assisted Living Communities in Kenosha, Wisconsin for the second year in a row!

I visited this facility

It didn't feel as good as I walked in Library Terrace Assisted Living. There were only around 4 residents sitting around talking, but it was so noisy. I could not understand why it was so noisy because these 4 people weren't even talking loud. It may be the acoustics or the high ceiling. I don't know; I just didn't like it from the very beginning. I just talked to the one who showed me around. The whole place just kind of turned me off. I think they need to improve on the overall appearance and their presentation.

Provider Response

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that continued improvement is important for assisted living providers. Many positive changes occurred at Library Terrace during 2016. We wanted to make you aware that both buildings on our campus have had a complete update….. including new carpeting and painting throughout, remodeling of common area spaces, upgrading of the resident apartment kitchenettes and all new furniture, to name a few of the many improvements. We do have a lively and social group of residents who are engaged in many activities throughout the day. Admittedly, there can be quite a bit of laughter and high spirits when they get together. Our two full-time Life Enrichment Coordinators provide many opportunities during the day in which residents can be involved including our daily senior fitness program. Library Terrace is a good option for individuals who are seeking a smaller, more home-like setting in a long established single family home neighborhood. We continue to seek more ways to increase the quality of the services that we can offer to our residents and are participating in the Wisconsin Assisted Living Association Diamond Accreditation program. In October of 2016 Library Terrace was voted as one of the top two assisted living communities in the Best of Kenosha County people's choice awards. We certainly hope that you found a senior living community that was a better fit for your family member's needs.

Library Terrace Assisted Living has activities like crafts. It has a little room where they do puzzles, and they have exercise equipment. It's a small community, so they can give the residents more attention. Dad has a 1-bedroom which is very nice. It has 2 closets, and the size is good. The bathroom has a nice cabinet and bars to help him get up from his wheelchair. The neighborhood is nice, too. There are religious services, and they also have laundry services.

Provider Response

We very much appreciate the positive review! We are indeed gratified that your family member has chosen to live at Library Terrace Assisted Living. We continue to seek ways to enhance the services and amenities that we offer and welcome feedback from our residents and their families. Thank you!
