The Maranatha House Tacoma is a small senior living facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, licensed for five residents and offering assisted living and memory care for older adults in a home-like setting that includes both private and semi-private rooms, some as studio suites or single bedrooms, all fully furnished, and some with kitchenettes for those who prefer them, and it does feel a bit like living in a regular house with a caring staff always available to help with bathing, dressing, personal care, and medication management, which can come in handy for folks who need a little extra help every day or whose health requires things like incontinence care, Parkinson's support, or memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, because the building is secure with exit alerts and trained staff for those special needs. Meals are made fresh three times a day and can be changed for residents with diabetes, hypertension, or other health concerns, and the staff help with all kinds of eating and bathroom support, so folks who worry about those things don't have to.
Transportation is available for doctor's visits, shopping trips, faith-based activities, or anything else that gets people where they need to go, and those who like to drive or ride can rest easy with the parking service. Pets are welcome, as are visitors, and the place has gardens for outdoor time, gardening spaces, bistro dining areas, a games room, a movie theatre with HD TVs for screenings, a book room, and even a steam room and hot tubs for anyone wanting to relax or enjoy a little warmth and quiet. Laundry, meals, and housekeeping are provided, so residents and their families spend less time worrying about chores and more time getting to know each other or making new friends.
They've set up fitness programs, occupational and massage therapy, recreational activities like movie nights, crafts, animal therapy, music therapy, and board games, and regular community events meant to keep everyone active and connected, even if the weather isn't cooperating, and for folks needing a short stay or for caregiver breaks, respite care is available so nobody's left out if their needs change.
Staff create personalized care plans for each resident so support fits individual needs, and assisted living is balanced with privacy and independence, though help is available anytime it's wanted. The Maranatha House Tacoma is part of the Wisconsin Assisted Living Association and gets regular check-ups by local services like the Department of Aging, aiming to provide a secure, comfortable spot for seniors who prefer a small, peaceful home rather than something big and busy, while also having enough activities and wellness programs for people who want to stay active or involved every day.
