How families in Sherman Park usually search

Neighborhood matters less than families expect, and more than communities admit. The practical test is not the map. It is whether the person who will visit most often will still be visiting in month eight.

What is specific to Sherman Park

Questions families ask

Does the Milwaukee metro include Racine?

No. This site's coverage area is the 4-county core Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau -- Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington counties. Racine forms its own separate Metropolitan Statistical Area under Census Bureau delineation.

Does Wisconsin have one 'assisted living license' like some other states?

No. Wisconsin runs four separate license/certification types -- Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF), Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC), Adult Family Home (AFH), and nursing home -- each licensed by the DHS Division of Quality Assurance, Bureau of Assisted Living, under different rule chapters. There is no single umbrella 'assisted living' license the way some states use the term.

What is a CBRF in Wisconsin?

A Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) is a residential setting where 5 or more unrelated adults live together and receive room and board, supervision, and support services, plus up to 3 hours of nursing care per week per resident. CBRFs are licensed under Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 83 by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living.
