Verified in-home care in Germantown

Nothing verified in Germantown yet. Hospice and home care are delivered wherever the patient lives, so the agency's office address matters far less than its service area. Agencies based in Milwaukee and West Allis routinely cover Germantown. We only list providers we have confirmed against their own published information, so this list is shorter than the aggregator directories — and more reliable.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

Questions families ask

What's the difference between Family Care and IRIS in Wisconsin?

Family Care is a managed long-term-care program in which a Managed Care Organization coordinates a care plan and provider network for the member. IRIS (Include, Respect, I Self-Direct) is a self-directed alternative in which the participant manages an individualized budget and can hire and direct their own workers.

Does Family Care or IRIS pay for room and board at an assisted living community?

Generally, no. CBRF and RCAC care services can be covered through Family Care or IRIS as home-and-community-based supports, but room and board is generally not covered by either program -- this should be verified per-placement, not assumed.

Is Wisconsin a Medicaid expansion state?

No. Wisconsin has not adopted the ACA's Medicaid expansion. Instead, it runs BadgerCare Plus, which covers childless adults up to 100% of the Federal Poverty Level rather than the ACA's 138% FPL expansion threshold, making Wisconsin a partial-expansion/non-expansion state.

How does someone in Milwaukee apply for Family Care or IRIS?

Contact your county's Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) to begin. The ADRC administers Wisconsin's Long-Term Care Functional Screen, which determines eligibility for both programs, and helps enroll members once financial and functional eligibility are confirmed.
