Burleigh House sits at 8221 West Burleigh Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and holds up to eight residents, making it a medium-sized care home where people get to know each other. You'll find one-bedroom apartments, studios, and shared rooms, so folks choose what suits them best, and each unit has in-room emergency systems in case anyone needs help right away. The building is wheelchair accessible, and the staff can help with transfers, including two-person transfers, and will always keep an eye on residents, since there's 24-hour supervision, which means people staying there aren't left on their own. Residents who need different types of care-like adult care home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing-will have trained staff to help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and staff can even help folks who need insulin shots or support due to Parkinson's, dementia, high blood pressure, or diabetes. People can get help with incontinence, moving around, getting dressed, meals, and hygiene, plus personalized care and service plans are tailored for each person's needs, with support for hospice, respite, and home health services.
The grounds have gardens, walking paths, a yard, and places to sit outside, while inside, you'll see a hair salon, steam room, jacuzzi, communal kitchen, game rooms, reading room, and plenty of spaces for arts, crafts, music, and fitness programs, and the place welcomes pets. Residents can join chapel services and community events like movie nights, games, music therapy, board games, and pet therapy, and people gather for social evenings and daily activities like art or exercise to keep their minds and bodies moving. There's a cafe, a dining room with three homemade meals every day, and meals accommodate allergies, diabetes, and elevated blood pressure, so special diets aren't a problem. A private laundry service, cleaning, and even dry cleaning keep things tidy, and staff help with all sorts of daily needs. For outings, transportation is available for medical appointments, religious services, and errands, and there's move-in coordination to make the change smoother for new residents.
The staff can talk with health providers and help manage medication and care. People get routine health checks, and everyone has access to emergency alert systems in their rooms, and there's always someone awake and on duty. Residents are welcome to bring their pets, and private or shared bedrooms are available, all furnished with essentials, including telephones. The staff speaks English and knows how to care for people with dementia and other needs, and you'll find a warm, familiar feeling here as companions and staff work together to take care of daily life. Burleigh House keeps things simple, safe, and steady for anyone who needs a helping hand while staying as independent as possible, following all Wisconsin Department of Social Services rules under license number 310066.
