Riverwest is a dense, walkable East Side neighborhood along the Milwaukee River, known for its tight-knit, artsy character and older multi-family housing stock.
Riverwest is a neighborhood in your hub city. Senior care serving it is licensed the same way as the rest of your hub city -- through Wisconsin DHS's Bureau of Assisted Living.
How families in Riverwest 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 Riverwest
Families in Riverwest often search alongside the nearby East Side/Lower East Side and Harambee areas, since Riverwest itself has a limited stock of dedicated senior communities.
Riverwest's older multi-family buildings mean in-home care is often the first option families explore before considering a move to assisted living elsewhere in the city.
