The Courtyard at Fitchburg is an assisted living and memory care community in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, operating as a Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF). Opened in 2023, the community offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care services to older adults and their families in the Madison area.

The Courtyard specializes in care for those with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, offering individualized support and specialized training focused on preserving dignity and encouraging participation. As a CBRF, the community is licensed to adjust care over time so residents can remain in familiar surroundings with the team members and neighbors they know.
Daily activities and programs are designed around what brings residents happiness, including watching sports with neighbors, attending signature events like classic car shows and the Top Shelf Soiree, and joining educational Lunch and Learns on topics such as financial scams and dementia versus normal aging. Residents enjoy homestyle meals, engaging outings, and volunteer opportunities. The community hosts a monthly Parkinson's support group on the fourth Wednesday of every month for individuals living with Parkinson's disease and their care partners.
