Overview of Franciscan Courts

Franciscan Courts is an assisted living community and a nursing home, administered by CHI Living Communities, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, offering residential care since August 2017. With a mission-driven environment rooted in the Franciscan tradition, the community focuses on promoting a close-knit atmosphere and a worry-free daily life for up to 39 older adults in Milwaukee County.

Accommodating 31 residents per day, the community has an approximately 79.5% occupancy rate, which is in line with the Wisconsin state average. Those seeking near-term placement in South Milwaukee may find the community appealing, as it has steady demand with decent availability. The community has been inspected three times, all of which are complaint-triggered, with one of those concluding with no deficiencies. However, on the most recent investigation on September 25, 2025, two deficiencies were identified. Notably, the community’s deficiencies are way below the state average of 12 deficiencies per cycle, which is a good indicator of its quality.

Operating under CHI Living Communities, a Catholic-based health inspector, the community is consistent with its Franciscan identity of providing a faith-based approach to care. Additionally, resident tours, community engagement, and volunteer opportunities are provided, promoting a purpose-driven setting.

Franciscan Courts is ideal for those seeking a faith-centered atmosphere in a residential care community, especially with its comprehensive care services and various amenities. With a clean inspection history, mission-driven identity, and a well-established Catholic faith, the community appeals to older adults and families in the area. Residents are also expected to integrate with the locality, as volunteer programs are also provided for community engagement.
