That’s Amore!
Pizza was created by the Italians—or maybe by the Greeks, who brought it to Naples, but let’s face it, Americans eat a lot of pizza. At Azura Memory Care of Beloit, we decided to celebrate Pizza. To engage residents, fancy supplies are not required. Often, it is the simplest moments that create huge moments of joy.
So, we started out the day with a fun, and rather lively, discussion:
- Round or square pies?
- Cut in squares or triangle?
- Do you like pepperoni or sausage?
- Do you like it hot or cold?
- Do you eat it with a fork and knife or just grab it as finger food?
- Anchovies?
And the discussion really just went on and on from there.
We also made a craft project and everyone designed their favorite pizza. All practiced up, we rolled into the real thing. We added toppings to the crust, piled on the cheese and then popped them in the over. Boy, waiting 15 minutes is a long time when you are hungry for pizza!
And, at long last, we devoured our magically cheesy masterpieces feeling fulfilled and satisfied. Now, that’s Amore!

My father has been here only a little over 2 months. The positive change in him has been DRAMATIC! I would HIGHLY recommend Azura........ I would give it 10 stars if they allowed it! This is the premier facility for any family member with cognitive issues! They do treat residents like family, believe it!

Azura memory care enhances the quality of life of each resident! Their activity department goes above and beyond to provide the perfect themes and topics geared to each residents specific likes. They do a wonderful job creating theme weeks and transitioning Azura with amazing decorations, to make them feel like they are their. One theme was France, they made a gondola had the residents and staff dress up and enjoy French cuisine. They really make your loved one feel special and included. Love seeing all the laughter and smiling faces:)

We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you.

Just moved my sister-in-law to Azura Stoughton on February 12th. I feel like I’ve found a little piece of dementia heaven. The staff has gone way beyond my expectations to meet her needs and take time to know her. Anyone who has dementia deserves the TLC they receive at Azura. I’m so impressed.

Thank you to the Azura Memory Care team, Sheboygan location for the amazing, loving care they provided my dad. They truly loved and cared for my dad as if he was their own. It is such a warm, loving, family environment I only wish we would have moved my dad there years earlier!

I have enjoyed working with patients at Azura Care as a Physical Therapist Assistant. The staff has been very helpful in sharing important information about the patients to make their therapy sessions as productive as possible. They are open to learning techniques to help keep patients safe and improve their ability to perform daily tasks with less assistance. Their interactions with patients show caring and compassion with a focus on the needs of each individual to enjoy the best quality of life possible.

The journey of caregiving for my Aunt started over 4 years ago. It has been a very long difficult journey. It is hard to watch and frustrating to watch a loved one decline, as well as for them to live the decline. My Aunt found her final peace at Azura Memory Care in Sheboygan. It was not only her peace but mine as well. I no longer had to worry about her care as I could see that she was loved by her Azura family. She passed away on June 21 and they knew how important that it was for me to be there, but I also found peace that if I was not there, she was with family that loved her. No words can express the appreciation for the care, compassion and love that they have for all their residents. God has opened many doors through my journey and the doors at Azura were truly a gift from God. This family made a difference in a long journey. I will always have them in my thoughts and prayers. They are where and doing what they are meant to do!
