Ola House

Ola House is a small, licensed Adult Family Home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with just four beds, and it takes care of seniors in a home-like setting right in a regular neighborhood. Folks here can stay long-term as their care needs change because Ola House is a continuing care retirement community, which means it's set up to help people go from living pretty independently to getting full nursing care without moving somewhere new, and there are support programs for every stage, including those for people living with dementia and memory loss. The staff help with day-to-day things like getting dressed, bathing, help moving around, and managing medicine, and they also handle housekeeping, laundry, and meal services, making sure every resident gets what they need, like meals for special diets including diabetes or allergies. There are scheduled activities, movie nights, social events, and community-sponsored gatherings for people who like to stay active, along with walking paths, a well-kept garden, and furnished rooms that make it easy to settle in and feel at home, and for those who need more medical help, there's skilled nursing, rehabilitation, wound care, and memory care with a dementia waiver, plus supervision every hour of the day and emergency alert systems for safety. Ola House supports seniors with mild cognitive problems and also provides hospice waiver services. Transportation, parking, telephones in the rooms, and move-in help are available. They don't take Medicare unless they get certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. With specialized support, a small group of residents, and programs that focus on comfort and keeping folks involved, Ola House aims to give seniors and their families peace of mind while balancing care and independence in a quiet Milwaukee home.
