Eastcastle Place
Eastcastle Place is a continuing care retirement community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care and skilled nursing. Independent living provides a private residence with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with bathing, dressing and medication. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Several care levels are available here. Eastcastle Place may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time and who may want to remain in the same community. The community has 18 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.
Residents can choose studio, one bedroom or two bedroom housing. The larger layouts may suit a couple moving together. Monthly rates range from $5,134 to $7,789, giving families a defined range for planning monthly costs.
Medicare and private pay are accepted. Eligible residents may use Medicare, while others can pay directly. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 29 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated to each resident.
Rehabilitation services are available through the community, so residents can receive rehabilitation as part of the care offered. Pets are allowed, which means a resident may keep a pet when moving into the community. With a Walk Score of 92, the area is a walker’s paradise, so daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Tyler Gudex serves as the administrator.

Headcount
78.5% of staff hours were worked by the facility's own employees
Wisconsin average: 88.1% · Contractors this quarter: Certified Nursing Assistant (111), RN Director of Nursing (13), Respiratory Therapy Technician (5), Registered Nurse (3), Physical Therapy Aide (3), Speech Language Pathologist (3), Physical Therapy Assistant (3), Licensed Practical Nurse (2), Qualified Social Worker (1), Medical Director (1), Occupational Therapy Assistant (1), Diagnostic X-ray Services Staff (1)
Why it matters: employees work here week after week and get to know each resident's routines and needs. Agency contractors often rotate between facilities, so a higher employee share usually means more consistent care.

Totals count every penalty on record; the history lists the past 3 years. Wisconsin and US averages are among facilities with a penalty on record.
A civil money penalty is a fine for noncompliance, per day or per instance. A payment denial stops Medicare/Medicaid payments for new residents until issues are fixed.
