Ascension Living Alexian Village sits on a 60-acre campus in Milwaukee, where residents can walk scenic paths, see the changing seasons, and look out over a lake and a park, and the place has won awards for activities, quality care, and friendliness, including the Best Activities and Most Friendly honors, and has been recognized with the Best of Senior Living Award for its support of residents. The campus offers all kinds of senior living options, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, adult day care, and home-based care through its At Home Choices programs like PACE, Adult Day Services, and Hospice, and because it's a Continuing Care Retirement Community, folks can move from one level of care to another without leaving the community, which lets them age in place with less disruption.
The facility has a Catholic background and offers spiritual care, but serves people of all faiths and does its best to provide honest, compassionate, and respectful care, putting focus on individualized attention right down to memory care programs that use familiar smells, tastes, and personal life details to comfort people with Alzheimer's or dementia, sometimes in smaller cottage-like neighborhoods. The staff runs specialized memory support, skilled nursing available at all hours, personalized care plans in assisted living, and many kinds of therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech, with everything coordinated by care professionals and with dietitians available for meal planning and consultations.
Apartments come in different layouts and sizes, from one to three bedrooms and square footage from 650 up to over 2,500, and each living arrangement aims for a homelike setting that feels private and comfortable, whether someone wants independent living or needs 24-hour supervision. There's a schedule of daily activities both on and off-site, from social groups and arts and crafts to movie showings and wellness classes, plus community outings and visits to nearby dining spots like Papa John's Pizza or local cafes such as Starbucks. Residents can spend time in the library, movie theater, or arts room, and they're welcome to use the fitness center, indoor and outdoor common areas, gardens, and spa or wellness room, all designed to support wellness and social engagement, and there's Wi-Fi throughout the campus, accessible apartments, and an emergency response system for safety. Maintenance-free living means staff takes care of housekeeping, linens, laundry, transportation, landscaping, and security, and meals are prepared on site with menus that offer flexibility, including kosher and vegetarian options.
Ascension Living Alexian Village keeps up strong COVID-19 safety measures and offers both on-and off-site devotional services. The facility has proximity to hospitals within 10 miles. People can have in-room dining, get snacks at stations around the campus, use local transportation, join volunteer programs, and count on the staff for medication management, bathing help, and nurse support at any hour. There's a focus on helping residents live independently as long as possible while giving the right support when health needs change, and everything from home health to hospice can be arranged through the community, so as needs increase, people don't have to leave familiar surroundings. Ascension Living Alexian Village provides an environment where seniors can join in activities, try new things, enjoy nutritious meals, and continue living as independently as they're able, with a caring staff there for extra help when it's needed.
