The Courtyard at Fitchburg Memory Care is a 36-bed assisted living and memory care community operated by Fitchburg Assisted Living LLC in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, within Dane County. Licensed in August 2024, this is one of the more recent additions to the senior care landscape in the Madison area. Serving 22 residents, the community has a current occupancy of approximately 61%, indicating significant availability for families planning a future placement or immediate placement without waitlist delays.
The community offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care services, along with 24-hour staffing and rehabilitation options. Amenities are plentiful and include on-site dining, a garden patio, spacious common rooms, a beauty salon, a spa and bathtique, and a wellness office, all with views of McKee Farms Park. Three meals per day with varied menu selections and nutritious snacks are also provided. Focusing on physical, mental, and social engagement, the community maintains a robust daily activities calendar.
Since it opened in August 2024, the community is still in its early operational phase, which is reflected in its inspection history. Seven inspections took place over a short period, primarily complaint-initiated, resulting in four visits with findings and a total of 30 deficiencies over the years. The most recent inspection in October 2025 recorded 12 deficiencies, in line with the Wisconsin average of 12. Families are encouraged to carefully review the specific nature and correction status of these findings and ask about any operational or staffing adjustments made for improvement.
