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.

Questions families ask

Who licenses and regulates senior care facilities in Wisconsin?

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), Bureau of Assisted Living (BAL) licenses and regulates CBRFs, RCACs, adult family homes, and nursing homes statewide. General licensing contact: 608-266-8482.

What happens if I have a complaint about a Milwaukee-area facility's care?

A complaint about a licensed facility's quality of care can be directed to DHS's Bureau of Assisted Living (608-266-8482), and residents of licensed long-term-care facilities can also contact the Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program at 1-800-815-0015.

Does Wisconsin have a separate memory-care license or certification?

No. Wisconsin requires neither a separate memory-care state certification nor a formal statutory disclosure-statement requirement specific to dementia care. What's marketed as 'memory care' is almost always a CBRF or RCAC that has documented dementia as an admissible client group in its DHS program statement.

How do I know if a Milwaukee memory-care unit's staff are actually trained in dementia care?

Wis. Admin. Code DHS 83.21(2) requires client-group-specific staff training -- covering the characteristics of the group served, safety risks, environmental considerations, disease process, and communication skills -- within 90 days of hire, for staff working with dementia residents specifically.
