The Legacy of DeForest

6639 Pederson Crossing Blvd, Deforest, WI 53532
Overview of The Legacy of DeForest

A 25-bed community in Deforest, Wisconsin, The Legacy of DeForest covers three levels of care under one address: independent living, assisted living, and memory care. It sits at 6639 Pederson Crossing Blvd in Dane County, in a stretch of the area where a car is pretty much required to get anywhere. Six years in, the community now runs at 76 percent occupancy.

Julie Lonergan administers the property, with Park Vista Senior Housing Management LLC as the operator behind it. Day to day, residents have an emergency response system in place and transportation arranged to physician, dental, therapy, specialist, and optometrist appointments, the kind of logistics that quietly matter more than they get credit for. Seasonal menus rotate through the dining room, giving some variety across the year.

Pricing runs from $7,910 to $8,910 a month, depending on care level and accommodation type, a range wide enough that it’s worth a direct conversation about where a specific resident would land. Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, oversees inspections statewide, and here those have tended to focus on staffing credentials and how well care plans get documented.

What stands out is the structure itself: three care levels in one small community, built for a resident who might start more independent and need more support later, without ever having to pack up and move somewhere new.

What is the typical staff-to-resident ratio at assisted living facilities in Madison, WI?

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Wisconsin?

Assisted living in Wisconsin supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Wisconsin?

Assisted living in Wisconsin is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Wisconsin Medicaid cover assisted living?

Wisconsin Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Wisconsin) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
