The Sonnet at Tennyson Launches Family Care Option to Enhance Access to Senior Living

NATIONWIDE - NOVEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) — The Sonnet at Tennyson, a senior living community managed by Koru Health, announces the launch of its Family Care Program, now participating in the Wisconsin Family Care Medicaid long-term care program for older adults and adults with disabilities. This new offering increases access to quality assisted living and memory care for the local community.

This program allows residents who meet eligibility requirements for assistance to remain in their chosen private setting within the community, even if private care funding is depleted. Participation is coordinated through established Management Care Organization Contracts, creating a path for uninterrupted support and personalized care.

The Family Care Program at The Sonnet at Tennyson is designed to ensure there is no change in the quality of care or support residents receive. Individuals enrolled in the program receive full inclusion in all services and programs, including personalized care and support, three home-style meals daily, life enrichment activities, 24-hour compassionate staff, and medication management.

"When finances shift, the security and quality of a loved one's care should not have to," said Jennifer Krause, Community Relations Manager for The Sonnet at Tennyson. "This program provides essential stability and reassurance, ensuring our residents continue to be supported within our community, regardless of changes in their financial resources."

The Sonnet offers a limited number of apartments through the Family Care Program. For individuals who qualify for financial assistance, options are available to retain their private living suite with the help of the program and financial top-ups from family. The program also features a Premium Program option, which allows families to voluntarily cover the difference in cost for a private or larger apartment, offering a more personalized living arrangement while still participating in Family Care.

The Premium Program option ensures that residents still receive all the benefits of the Family Care Program but in a more personalized, spacious living arrangement. It gives families more control over their loved one's living space while maintaining access to high-quality care.

By introducing the Family Care Program, The Sonnet at Tennyson is making a strong commitment to supporting the local community. This program aims to assist families who may otherwise struggle to afford assisted living and memory care services by providing them with a reliable option for long-term support. For those interested in applying or learning more about the Family Care Program, The Sonnet encourages families to contact their local Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) to start the qualification process and begin the conversation about available care options.
