Finding a senior living community Deciding where your loved one will receive care and support in their later years is one of the most important choices a family can make. It’s about safety, services, and discovering a place where comfort and compassion are incorporated into the everyday experience. For families searching in Madison, it can be a huge relief to find a setting like The Sonnet at Tennyson, where both amenities and care options are thoughtfully designed to support residents physically and emotionally.

Here’s an in-depth look at the essential care services and amenities that define Madison senior living—highlighting how The Sonnet at Tennyson stands out as an assisted living and memory care community where every resident is treated like family.

Personalized Care that Responds to Real Needs

The Sonnet at Tennyson offers both assisted living and memory care, each with a tailored approach designed to meet residents where they are. Whether support is needed with mobility, personal care, cognitive challenges, or other daily living needs, our compassionate team works closely with each resident and their family to create a plan that evolves as care needs change.

In assisted living, our team of caregivers, nurses, and CNAs (certified nursing assistants) offers support with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, and other gentle reminders. These services are delivered with empathy and respect. The presence of a full-time registered nurse and 24-hour staff ensures that any concerns are promptly addressed and concerns never go unheard.

Our memory care program, specially designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, provides structured routines and sensory-based activities in a secure, comforting environment. With thoughtful safety measures and a team experienced in cognitive care, each resident is met with the reassurance they need to navigate each day with comfort and confidence.
