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.

Overview of Tivoli Terrace at St Annes Salvatorian Campus

Opened in 2001, Tivoli Terrace at St. Anne’s Salvatorian Campus provides assisted living, rehabilitation, and respite care in Milwaukee, WI. Along with assistance with daily tasks, residents can access rehabilitation services, particularly those seeking recovery after an illness, surgery, or hospital stay. Respite care also welcomes temporary stays to help their primary caregivers recover.

With 43 beds, the community is currently at 39.5% occupancy. Furthermore, the dental clinic and massage therapy bring additional health-related services into the same program setting. Residents also receive a total of 4 hours and 13 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time assigned to each resident.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. This also suggests that Medicare and Medicaid are public coverage programs, while private pay means paying directly for care. Additionally, a Walk Score of 98 out of 100 places the area in the walker’s paradise band, indicating that daily errands do not require a car, so a resident who no longer drives can still complete them on foot. St. Anne’s Home For The Elderly operates the community.

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.
