Alexian Village of Milwaukee offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. The team is equipped to manage moderate dementia and a range of medical needs, including day-time and night-time wandering, behavioral issues, wound care, oxygen use, special diets, diabetes management with oral medications or injections, and support for adults under 60. Memory Care residents benefit from environmental safeguards and staff training focused on redirection and safety, while Assisted Living residents receive tailored help with daily activities and medication oversight. Independent Living residents can add medication monitoring if their health status changes.
Round-the-clock clinical oversight is built into the community. RNs and LPNs are on staff, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and caregivers remain awake through the night. All employees undergo background checks, and an Activity Director plans structured engagement throughout the day. Safety measures include fenced front and rear grounds, door alarms, pull cords, personal emergency response systems, and WanderGuard technology. On-site podiatry visits are scheduled regularly, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and they support walkers, wheelchairs, standby transfers, and one-person lifts when needed.
Accommodations range from studios to one-bedrooms, and not every unit includes every feature. Some apartments offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate. Residents who choose Independent Living can add housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, and staff can monitor medications if desired, allowing many to maintain an independent lifestyle while having support ready if health needs increase.
Meals are prepared daily from a set menu, but residents can also order alternative selections. Snacks are available between meals, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered diets, including diabetic, low-sodium, and other specialized plans. The dining program extends to Independent Living through a flexible monthly meal plan that can be scaled up or down. For residents who prefer to cook occasionally, kitchenettes provide added choice.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is offered, and the campus is close to public transit for additional convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
