    About The Right Way Family Home

    The Right Way Family Home is a small, licensed Adult Family Home in Milwaukee, WI, that's been providing care for 23 years, and it has 4 beds, which makes the place feel comfortable and close-knit so folks usually know one another and staff really get to know everyone's needs, and they help with all sorts of care like assisted living, memory care, independent living, and board and care, plus they're licensed to offer dementia and hospice services, so families find peace of mind knowing their loved one's in good hands. The staff includes personal care assistants and part-time nurses who help residents with daily things like bathing, dressing, transferring, taking medicine, and even organizing transportation for outings or doctor visits if someone needs it, and they keep an eye out all day and night with 24-hour supervision so families don't worry as much, and they've even got nurse support for health concerns and help with medication management and reminders which takes a big load off. You'll find several types of rooms, some are furnished and some have their own TVs, and everyone eats together in a dining room with all-day dining options, and the staff can handle special diets, whether it's for diabetes, allergies, or low-salt needs, so folks get what's right for them.

    There's a garden and walking paths if you want a bit of fresh air, plus the place has wheelchair access, cable TV in common areas and in the rooms, and emergency alert systems just in case, so those little details add some comfort and safety, and if you don't want to bother with chores, you don't have to since they provide housekeeping, laundry, and linen services daily. Folks can bring their pets or not, since they let residents make the choice about animals, and each day there's community-sponsored activities, arts and crafts, music, hobbies, recreation programs, and even religious services if that's important to you, so there's often something going on to keep life interesting. Memory care services include specialized programs and activities that help with memory, and the staff's trained, so if someone needs help with thinking or remembering things, they're ready for those challenges. The home shares all the information about their assisted living, memory care, and board and care services in detail, making it easy to understand what's offered, and folks get respite care if a family member just needs a break now and then, too.

    The Right Way Family Home isn't big or fancy, but it's got a family feel with practical comforts and several locations around the city, so whether it's at 45th Street or Brentwood, the services stay much the same and the living costs usually come out less than a nursing home, starting around $3,000 a month for independent and assisted living and $4,000 for memory care, but the most important thing is everyone gets daily support, good meals, friends to talk to, and a staff that's courteous and dependable-making life a little easier for seniors and the folks who care about them.

    No, The Right Way Family Home does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
