The Greenfield market specifically

Greenfield's senior-care market centers on several established faith-based continuing-care campuses in this southwest inner-ring suburb, which let a resident move between independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing without leaving the community they already know.

Families weighing Greenfield often compare it directly against Franklin and New Berlin, since all three southwest Milwaukee County suburbs share a similar single-family housing character.

Questions families ask

Where can hospice care happen -- does it require moving to a special facility?

No. Hospice care is delivered wherever the patient lives -- a private home, an assisted living community, or a nursing facility -- and is also available at dedicated inpatient hospice units for patients who need a higher level of symptom management than can be managed at home.

Does Medicare pay for hospice care?

Yes. Hospice is a well-established Medicare benefit, covering hospice-related physician services, nursing care, medical equipment, medications related to the terminal diagnosis, and grief/bereavement support for the family, once a physician certifies eligibility.

What is the 'We Honor Veterans' program mentioned by some Milwaukee-area hospice providers?

It's a national partnership between hospice providers and the Department of Veterans Affairs that trains hospice staff on veteran-specific end-of-life needs and helps recognize a veteran's military service as part of their hospice care. VITAS Healthcare's Milwaukee office describes running this program on its own site.

What's the difference between hospice and palliative care?

Palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom relief and can be provided alongside curative treatment at any stage of a serious illness. Hospice is specifically for patients who have stopped curative treatment and have a physician-certified life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course.
