Overview of Golden Years Assisted Living Residence

Golden Years Assisted Living Residence is an assisted living and skilled nursing community operated by Golden Years Nursing Home Inc. in Walworth, Wisconsin, offering a wide range of care options in Walworth County. Originally licensed in April 1994, the community brings more than 30 years of experience serving seniors in southeastern Wisconsin. With 44 licensed beds, the community is currently at approximately 77% occupancy, which generally aligns with the Wisconsin statewide average.

The community offers a broad range of care options, including assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services, allowing older adults to remain in one place even as their needs change over time. 24-hour staffing and rehabilitation services are also available to provide continuous support, as well as care for those recovering from illness or injury.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has conducted a total of five inspections, with the most recent, a follow-up visit in December 2025, concluding with five deficiencies. This record is well below the Wisconsin average of 12, reflecting a strong compliance record, particularly for a community with a long history of operation.

The community’s amenities aim to contribute to a comfortable, residential atmosphere, as reflected in its shared living rooms, a country-style kitchen, and a perennial garden patio, along with safe indoor and outdoor walking areas. Individual room temperature controls and a smoke-free environment are also provided to add to overall comfort. Dining is designed to feel personal and home-like, with breakfast cooked to order in a kitchenette near resident rooms and a home-style midday meal served in the main dining area.

Golden Years Assisted Living Residence is a good choice for older adults in the Walworth County area who prefer an established, home-like setting with a full continuum of care, thoughtful dining options, and a solid record of regulatory performance.
