The West Allis market specifically

West Allis is an established, older-housing-stock inner suburb where many residents have aged in place for decades. Its walkable core near the Milwaukee Mile and State Fair Park sits alongside a mix of CBRF-licensed assisted living and in-home care options serving longtime residents who want to stay close to family in Milwaukee County.

Because West Allis sits between Milwaukee and the Waukesha County suburbs, families frequently compare it against both Wauwatosa and Greenfield before deciding.

Who is actually on shift

Ask how many caregivers and med aides are on the floor at 3 a.m., not the building-wide daytime ratio. Ask what happens when someone calls in sick, and whether the community uses agency staff to fill gaps.

Ask how long the administrator has been in post. Turnover at the top is one of the better predictors of turnover below it.

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.
