Another Place Called Home

Another Place Called Home sits in Milwaukee, WI, where folks can find a Community Based Residential Facility with 15 licensed beds and a smaller Adult Family Home for ambulatory seniors that has 4 licensed beds. The place doesn't take Medicare, since it isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so families usually pay out of pocket or use other funds, and the state or local government provides the licensing and does regular reviews by groups like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services. Staff focus on person-centered care and use their own unique terms for programs and features, all aimed at enhancing daily life for each person, with specialized care types depending on individual needs, whether that's more or less support. The buildings are set up with features designed to help people stay as independent as possible for as long as they can, so they don't have to give up the things they like to do. Residents can use a range of amenities that are for comfort and well-being, but these details aren't spelled out publicly. The place plays a steady, important role in helping seniors with long-term, non-acute care at costs usually lower than a nursing home, and it gives families some peace of mind knowing their loved ones have care and someone checking on them, even if there's not a lot of flashy extras.
