Overview of St. Rita Square

St. Rita Square sits in Milwaukee’s Lower East Side, at 728 East Pleasant Street, and covers a wider range of care than a lot of communities do in one building. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care all live under the same roof here, and the population reflects that: residents range from advanced-aged folks who just want support with daily life to people managing physical disabilities or dementia.

The building itself is a 22-unit mid-rise, with one- and two-bedroom layouts running from 744 to 1,487 square feet. Right now, about half the units are filled, ten out of twenty-two. Rent runs month-to-month, so there’s no big endowment fee sitting between a family and a decision. Monthly rates land somewhere between $5,260 and $12,785, depending on the unit and level of care needed.

On the amenity side, there’s a spa, a salon, a fitness studio, and an outdoor piazza, plus a wood-fired pizza trattoria and restaurant-style dining that goes a step past the usual cafeteria setup. Scheduled transportation and clean air systems round things out. Pets are welcome too, so that’s not a tradeoff residents have to make.

A Walk Score of 94 puts the neighborhood in the “Walker’s Paradise” range, meaning groceries, errands, and day-to-day stops are mostly doable on foot, with downtown Milwaukee less than a mile away.

Chiara Housing and Services Inc is the legal operator, Glenwood Choban administers the community, and Samantha Jemison holds a leadership role on-site. This is a newer property, still building its track record, but what it offers right now is a full spectrum of care, real dining, and a location most people would call genuinely walkable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

How much does this service cost?

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
