Overview of Harbor View Assisted Living

Harbor View Assisted Living offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Manitowoc, WI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a personal living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time to travel or recover.

There are 43 beds. That gives the community a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another, and the combination of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time. Respite care can also suit a family needing temporary support, while the pet policy may allow a resident to keep a pet as part of the move.

An onsite salon and barber let residents receive grooming services within the community, and rehabilitation services provide access to therapy as part of their care. The community is operated by Manitowoc Senior Living. A Walk Score of 75 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.

Overview of Ascension Living Alexian Village – Milwaukee

Ascension Living Alexian Village has been part of Milwaukee’s senior care landscape for 46 years now, sitting at 9301 North 76th Street on the city’s north side. It’s a car-dependent stretch of town, with a Walk Score of 24, so most errands and outings mean getting in a car rather than walking them.

The building itself is a mid-rise with 108 beds, split across one-, two-, and three-bedroom options. 78 of those beds are filled, which puts occupancy around 72 percent. Average length of stay runs about 71 days, which tells you something useful: this isn’t purely a long-term residence; there’s a real rehabilitation and short-stay population moving through alongside people settling in for longer.

On-site rehab services mean residents recovering from surgery or illness don’t have to leave the building for therapy. Nursing coverage runs throughout the day too, with registered nurses, LPNs, and nurse aides each putting in dedicated time per resident rather than being spread thin across shifts.

Amenity-wise, it’s understated but real: a library, a spa, and a patio. Nothing flashy, just spaces that give residents somewhere quiet to read, unwind, or sit outside. Medicare and private pay are both accepted, which covers a reasonably wide range of financial situations.

When state inspectors have looked at this community, their focus has tended to land on infection control, how well care gets documented, food and dietary service, resident rights, and fall prevention, the same areas regulators tend to scrutinize at long-term care communities generally.

What Alexian Village adds up to is a long-tenured, mid-sized community built around active rehabilitation and steady daily nursing support, more functional than showy, but functional in the ways that actually matter for recovery and daily care.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Wisconsin

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.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 428 assisted living facilities in Wisconsin. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Wisconsin?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Wisconsin, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Wisconsin?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
