Short answer

Waukesha County is served by its own Aging & Disability Resource Center and by the statewide Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. We list 3 verified senior care communities in Waukesha County.

Which agencies cover Waukesha County

  • Aging & Disability Resource Center: ADRC of Waukesha County 866-677-2372.
  • Long-Term Care Ombudsman: Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care, 1-800-815-0015 (statewide; in Milwaukee County specifically, ombudsmen are assigned by zip code rather than one county-wide contact).
  • Medicaid long-term care: Family Care and IRIS, both administered through the county's ADRC for enrollment. Room and board is generally not covered by either program.
Do not assume county-adjacent agencies apply automatically. Each of Wisconsin's four core counties in this metro has its own dedicated ADRC -- there is no single shared regional agency covering all four.

Questions families ask

What is Wisconsin's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, and how is it different from the ADRC?

The Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care (BOALTC) Ombudsman Program advocates specifically for residents of licensed long-term-care facilities and for Family Care/IRIS participants, acting only with the resident's consent -- a distinct role from the ADRC's broader information-and-assistance function. Statewide phone: 1-800-815-0015.

How do I report suspected elder abuse or neglect in the Milwaukee area?

Call Wisconsin's statewide Adult Protective Services reporting hotline, 833-586-0107, which routes to the correct county, or report online at reportelderabusewi.org. In an emergency, call 911. Milwaukee County's own APS unit also accepts reports through an online referral form.

What's the difference between reporting to Adult Protective Services and filing a complaint with the state about a facility?

APS investigates suspected abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, or self-neglect involving an individual adult, administered county-by-county. A facility-standards complaint (about licensing compliance, staffing, or care quality at a specific CBRF, RCAC, adult family home, or nursing home) goes to DHS's Bureau of Assisted Living instead.
