The Muskego market specifically

Muskego, in southwestern Waukesha County, is home to a major continuing-care retirement community campus that anchors much of the local senior-housing supply.

Families near Muskego frequently compare it against Franklin and New Berlin, the two closest Milwaukee/Waukesha County suburbs with a similar suburban character.

Before you sign anything

Get the all-in monthly cost in writing at your parent's current assessed care level, ask what triggers the next care level and what it costs, and ask for the rate increase history across the last three years. Communities that will not put these in writing are telling you something.

Ask what happens if private funds run out, and whether the community holds a Medicaid waiver provider agreement. A meaningful share of communities do not, which means a second move at the worst possible time.

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

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.

What is an RCAC and how is it different from a CBRF?

A Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) offers independent apartment units, not shared rooms, where residents receive room and board, personal care, and nursing services -- up to 28 hours per week of supportive care per resident, a materially higher ceiling than a CBRF's 3 hours. Both are licensed/certified by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living.
