Creating Change runs several small and mid-size senior living homes in Milwaukee County, including places like Hills of Love II Adult Family Home, C&T Transitional Living, 15th Avenue Adult Family Home, Charisma Care Family Services, Greentree Place Adult Family Home, Alliance Adult Family Home, 107th St House, and Grantosa Heights, and each usually has four units, while there's a larger spot called the Center for Healthy Aging with 67 units for people who want more neighbors around. The facilities cover many service levels, from independent living, assisted living, and board and care homes, up to skilled nursing and memory care for people who need extra help, and some places have just a few residents so there's more attention to daily needs like meals, chores, housekeeping, and help with things like bathing or dressing.
There are memory care units designed for people living with dementia, and those often feature secure keypad entry, round-the-clock supervision, and caregivers who know how to help people with Alzheimer's or other memory problems. Assisted living in these homes includes medication help, personal hygiene support, housekeeping, group activities, and monthly doctor visits, and there's assistance with daily living tasks, with nurses or ministers on-site at all times. There's respite care if families just need short-term support, and in independent living homes, people get optional help with cooking, laundry, and enjoy maintenance-free apartments, one-bedroom setups, or small studios with things like grab bars, non-slip floors, and emergency pull cords for safety.
The communities have special programs like daily fitness, game rooms, a movie room with HD flat screens, arts and crafts spaces, outdoor patios, and well-lit dining areas with meals and snacks, sometimes even special event menus. Folks can bring pets in some homes and go out on planned outings or family picnics. Transportation's available if seniors need help getting to appointments, and there are wellness programs and monthly health screenings. Each resident gets an individual care plan that's reviewed often, and the facilities don't take Medicare unless they're officially certified.
The board and care homes and assisted units hold up to four people each, which means things tend to be quieter with a homelike feeling, and each person gets personalized attention, while bigger facilities let seniors be more social. The buildings stay secure night and day, and for people with greater medical needs, there's skilled nursing, wound care, and regular nurse visits. Maintenance staff fix things when needed, and each place is licensed in Wisconsin under different license numbers. Families seeking somewhere in Milwaukee that offers care from light help to full medical support turn to Creating Change for its mix of small adult family homes, bigger senior living sites, and a range of support services focused on keeping seniors safe, comfortable, and active.
