Full-continuum faith-based campus in Wauwatosa; independent living through skilled nursing and hospice on one site.
St. Camillus Life Plan Community is a nonprofit, faith-based (Catholic) continuing-care campus that has operated for over 100 years, a few minutes from downtown Milwaukee in Wauwatosa. It offers a full continuum on one campus: independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, home health, hospice, and care management -- one of the few true full-continuum campuses verified in this metro. The East, West, South, and North residence buildings share the same general campus address per the operator's own site, so a resident can move between levels of care without leaving the campus community they already know.
On-site programming includes a dedicated Life Enrichment staff, a Memory Café support group for residents living with dementia and their families, a Parkinson's Support Group, and a 'Revitalize' wellness and fitness schedule. Faith life is supported by three chapels with daily Catholic Mass plus weekly ecumenical services through a Pastoral Care team, reflecting the campus's Catholic sponsorship while welcoming residents of other faiths. Culinary services are described by the operator as offering diverse meals with a focus on healthy menu options. Families can reach the campus around the clock at 414-259-6300 for questions about any level of care.

How Wisconsin regulates this provider
Independent living is typically unlicensed housing in Wisconsin, since no personal care is provided -- it does not fall under the CBRF, RCAC, adult family home, or nursing home licensing chapters. Confirm directly with the community whether it also operates a licensed assisted living wing on the same campus.
Evaluating an independent living community
- Independent living is usually housing, not care, and is typically not licensed as a care facility. Confirm for your state.
- Several campuses combine independent living with assisted living or nursing on the same site. Ask whether moving to a higher level of care later is guaranteed or subject to availability.
- If help with daily activities is already needed, independent living is the wrong category, even when a community offers to arrange outside caregivers.
Wauwatosa in context
Wauwatosa's senior-care market is shaped directly by its hospital campus: Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin anchor a cluster of skilled-nursing and rehabilitation providers built around hospital discharge planning, alongside longstanding residential neighborhoods with an older housing stock.
