The Franklin market specifically
Franklin is largely single-family housing, and families here often compare options across Franklin, Oak Creek and Greenfield interchangeably rather than treating each suburb as a separate search area.
Because Franklin borders both Milwaukee and Waukesha counties, families here sometimes end up comparing options as far afield as Muskego, not just the closer Milwaukee County suburbs.
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.
