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.

Price range $7,910 - $8,910/Month Info Pricing updated on May 28th, 2026

Milwaukee Catholic Home

2462 N. Prospect Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53211
Overview of Milwaukee Catholic Home

Milwaukee Catholic Home has been on N Prospect Ave in Milwaukee’s Northpoint neighborhood since 1913. Run by a church and administered by Kate Gerou, it’s part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means residents can move between levels of care, nursing home, independent living, assisted living, and memory care, without switching organizations entirely.

The building itself is a two-story, 107-bed facility with one and two-bedroom layouts running 569 to 1,174 square feet. It’s nearly full: 96 of those 107 beds are occupied, putting occupancy at 89 percent. Monthly rates span $1,140 to $5,570 depending on the level of care, and the neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 83, solidly walkable by most standards.

Total nursing care averages 6 hours and 28 minutes per resident, per day, a substantial number in this field. Most residents here are on short-term rehab stays, and Medicare covers the majority of new admissions, though Medicaid and private pay are accepted too. The facility also runs a state-approved Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program on-site, plus transportation services and fitness and recreation programming.

More than a century of continuous operation, a heavy staffing ratio, and a short-stay rehab focus: that combination points to a facility built less around long-term custodial care and more around getting people through recovery and back home, with real clinical muscle behind it while they’re there.

Price range $1,140 - $5,570/Month Info Pricing updated on May 28th, 2026
