Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Madison, WI

Overview of The Sonnet at Tennyson

The Sonnet at Tennyson offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Madison, WI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while memory care provides a secured setting and supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having assisted living and memory care in the same community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time. Respite care can support a family seeking temporary care. The community is in the Berkeley Oaks neighborhood, and a Walk Score of 52 means some errands can be done on foot, giving a resident who no longer drives limited opportunities to reach nearby destinations independently.

Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom apartments are available. A two bedroom layout may suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. The starting price is $6,000 per month, but because the rate is not tied to a specific care level, it does not establish the monthly cost for a particular resident’s services.

A dedicated physical therapy room allows rehabilitation services to take place within the community. The on site beauty salon gives residents access to salon appointments without arranging an outside visit, and pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a companion animal when moving in.

Koru Health owns and manages The Sonnet at Tennyson. The community is designed for residents who may need daily assistance, memory care supervision, or a short stay while a family caregiver is unavailable.
