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 community provides individualized support for residents who need help with daily tasks such as bathing and medication management while valuing independence. Licensed nurses and trained team members are available 24 hours a day. 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.

Located steps from McKee Farms Park, the community benefits from direct access to 32 acres of green space with walking paths, scenic ponds, live music series throughout the summer, and cultural festivals. Comfortable studio and one-bedroom apartments feature private bathrooms, emergency call systems, and convenient kitchenettes that residents can personalize with their own belongings and furniture.

Respite care is available for caregivers who need temporary relief, with short-term stays providing access to the community's full amenities, meals, and activities. The community serves veterans and offers information about Wisconsin Veterans Benefits.
