Oakwood Village University Woods is a continuing care retirement community, operated by Oakwood Village Homes Inc., in Madison, Wisconsin, offering apartment-style independent living, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services for those 55+. Registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services since November 2011, with 415 beds, the community is one of the most comprehensive and largest senior living communities in the region.
Compared to other communities in the area, Oakwood Village University Woods is significantly larger and typically supports a wide range of amenities, dedicated programming staff, and purpose-built infrastructure. The community is also located near the city center, offering convenient proximity to hospitals, medical providers, shopping, and dining.
While the community is registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, there was no inspection history, deficiency data, or complaint records available. So, it is highly recommended that families consult the Wisconsin DHS public database or request inspection records directly from the community.
As a true continuing care campus, the community offers a full spectrum of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation. Enrichment activities, spiritual care, and culinary services are among the lifestyle programming, providing residents with services beyond clinical care. Along with an Oakwood Foundation, which supports the community’s broader organizational goals, Wisconsin financial assistance programs, including Medicaid Family Care and the IRIS self-direction program, may also be available to eligible residents.
With its wide range of care, Oakwood Village University Woods is best suited for those seeking multiple levels of care in one campus. The community is a well-established choice for families in the Madison area, as it has a large campus and mission-focused programming.
Mtilp INC, operated by Mobility Training and Independent Living Program Inc., is a community-based day care service and supported employment center in Madison, Wisconsin. The organization has been serving adults with disabilities in the Madison area since its licensing in January 2022. Along with a capacity of 50 participants, a focused, skills-oriented model specifically designed to support independent living and community integration is also provided.
Regulatory assessments were not provided in detail, so families are encouraged to request the most current inspection record directly from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Quality Assurance.
The organization’s programming centers on the Day Services Program and the Supported Employment Program, with the day services model focusing on building community participation and daily living skills, while the supported employment program provides job placement services and vocational training. Active volunteer programming is also available. Through this dual-track approach, adults with disabilities are supported to work toward greater vocational independence, which makes the center a functionally distinct option compared to traditional adult day centers that focus solely on socialization or health maintenance.
Mtilp INC is best suited for adults with disabilities in Madison and Dane County seeking independent living skill development, employment readiness, and active community participation. The supported employment component distinguishes this program from standard day service providers, which appeal more to younger adults or those transitioning from school or residential programs into the community.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Madison, WI
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 nursing home care?
Yes — Wisconsin Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
How many nursing homes are listed on this page?
This page features 13 nursing homes in Madison, WI. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right nursing home in Madison, WI?
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 Madison, WI, 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 nursing homes in Madison, WI?
