HomeMequonAssisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Wisconsin, most communities marketed as “assisted living” are licensed as a Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF), for five or more unrelated adults receiving room, board, supervision and up to three hours of nursing care a week, or as a Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC), which provides private apartments and can deliver up to 28 hours a week of supportive care — a materially higher care ceiling than a CBRF.

The Mequon market specifically

Mequon is the largest city in Ozaukee County, an affluent lakefront community anchored by an Ascension Columbia St. Mary's Ozaukee hospital campus, supporting multiple continuing-care campuses along the northern lakefront.

Families searching Mequon often also look at Whitefish Bay to the south and Cedarburg to the north, spanning both Milwaukee and Ozaukee counties.

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.

You can check any facility's record free. Wisconsin's DQA Provider Search on the ForwardHealth portal lets anyone look up a facility's license status and inspection history for free. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Is there a published cost figure for memory care in Wisconsin?

No. CareScout does not survey memory care as its own cost category anywhere in the country, so there is no primary-sourced memory-care median for Wisconsin or any other state.

Why doesn't a Milwaukee-specific senior care cost number exist anywhere?

CareScout, the primary national source for long-term-care cost data (formerly published by Genworth), surveys and publishes state-level medians only -- it does not break out metro-area or city-specific figures for Milwaukee or any other city.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living or memory care?

Generally, no. Medicare does not cover the room-and-board or custodial-care costs of assisted living or memory care. Medicare's coverage in senior care is generally limited to short-term skilled nursing/rehab stays following a qualifying hospital admission, home health care ordered by a physician, and hospice care.

What should I look for when comparing two Milwaukee-area assisted living communities?

Compare each community's current DQA license status and survey history, its specific care-type license (CBRF vs. RCAC), staffing ratios and training, the actual monthly cost including any add-on care fees, and whether its program statement matches your loved one's specific needs.
