Trinity Woods sits on a leafy campus in Milwaukee and brings together older adults, retired School Sisters of Notre Dame, and undergraduate single mothers with young kids, all living side by side which makes it a different kind of community than most. Folks say the staff's always friendly and helpful, which helps everyone feel welcome and at ease, and you'll find a lot of smiles and chatter in the hallways. The community's known for strong activity programs that get residents moving, thinking, and connecting, with special attention paid to mental, social, and emotional health, and they've even won awards for how good these programs are. Trinity Woods gets solid reviews from both residents and families, showing a 9.6 community review score and a 7.7 Seniorly score, which doesn't happen by accident.
There are several kinds of living options here, including independent living for folks who want to keep their freedom but wouldn't mind some neighbors and regular activities, as well as assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks. For seniors needing help with memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia, there's a secure memory care community, where staff have special training and alarms on doors, so folks don't get lost, and there's a safe outdoor space when people want fresh air. Skilled nursing care and transitions rehabilitation services are also available for those who need them, covering a pretty big range of needs, so people don't have to move again when their needs change. The place even offers home care through trained aides, making it possible for some to get non-medical support in their own homes.
The meal and dining program serves up healthy food made with good ingredients, paying careful attention to vitamins and minerals, and the campus has lots of spaces-indoor and outdoor-for gathering, exercise, and quiet walks, with walking paths, green spaces, private gardens, and patios looking out to the woods by Mount Mary University. Trinity Woods is laid out with several buildings connected by hallways and has a big, two-story Town Center that serves as the social heart, with a chapel, a bistro, a big dining room, salon and spa, market and gift shop, art studio, education center, cinema, fitness center, and places to sit and visit. There's a heated underground garage for residents who prefer to drive.
