Overview of Harbor View Assisted Living

Harbor View Assisted Living offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Manitowoc, WI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a personal living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover.

Respite care can also suit a family needing temporary support, while the pet policy may allow a resident to keep a pet as part of the move.

An onsite salon and barber let residents receive grooming services within the community, and rehabilitation services provide access to therapy as part of their care. The community is operated by Manitowoc Senior Living. A Walk Score of 75 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.

Wisconsin Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Wisconsin) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community.
