DHS 132, rather than the CBRF/RCAC/adult family home chapters). Two different populations often live under the same roof: short-term rehab patients and long-term residents.

The Oak Creek market specifically
Oak Creek is the southernmost Milwaukee County suburb along Lake Michigan, and its senior population and assisted-living construction have both grown recently, giving families here more newer-building options than some of the metro's older inner suburbs.
Families in Oak Creek often compare it against Franklin, its immediate western neighbor, when neither city alone has the specific level of care needed.
