Providing care since September 2004, the community is one of the larger communities in Milwaukee County, with its 110 licensed beds.
Registered with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the community is a nursing home with an integrated assisted living component. Along with 24/7 skilled nursing care for those with medical needs, rehabilitation services are also provided for those seeking short-term care.
