Overview of Anitas Gardens of Brookfield Anita’s Gardens of Brookfield is a family-owned assisted living and memory care community operated by Brikat Enterprises LLC in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The 70-bed community holds a Class CNA (nonambulatory) license, recently issued in September 2025, and offers three levels of care, including assisted living, memory care, and respite care. With a smaller, relationship-focused environment, families in Waukesha County and the broader Southeastern Wisconsin area may find this community an ideal option.
The community has 50 of 70 beds occupied, with a current occupancy rate of approximately 71%, in line with the Wisconsin statewide average. This suggests higher availability than most high-demand communities in the area.
Earlier inspections identified several deficiencies related to medication management, service plan documentation, and administrative processes, resulting in enforcement actions that included more than $5,000 in forfeitures and a probationary license. However, the most recent inspection on August 21, 2025, a follow-up visit, found no deficiencies and confirmed that all previously cited issues had been resolved. As a result, the probationary license was restored to a standard license, marking a significant positive step and demonstrating effective corrective action by the management team.
Services include 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation support, and respite care. The dining program emphasizes home-cooked meals prepared on site, offering a more residential and personalized experience. The community also promotes a “Culture of Caring,” with a focus on treating each resident with dignity, respect, and warmth.
Anita’s Gardens of Brookfield is well-suited for older adults who benefit from individualized assisted living or memory care in a more intimate setting, as well as for families seeking short-term respite care. The recent improvements in regulatory performance also provide a reassuring sign of responsive and engaged management.
