Booth Manor sits at 150 W Centennial Dr in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and is part of the Salvation Army's Central Division. This place was built back in 1992 and has 80 apartments, both studios and one-bedrooms, some with personal entries and attached garages with remote openers, so there's a bit more privacy and ease of use, and folks who need an accessible unit will find at least one set up that way. Booth Manor is a Section 202 community, which means it focuses on helping very low-income elderly folks by offering affordable housing options-rent's usually around 30% of a person's monthly income, and utilities like heat and water are included, so budgeting stays simple for seniors. Apartments have stoves, refrigerators, and garbage disposals, with laundry always nearby in the common area and free parking outside for those with cars. Elevators reach all floors, and the whole building's non-smoking for better air, with fire alarms and smoke detectors throughout.
The facility offers many ways to stay busy and social, like meals served on-site, a small grocery mart right in the building, a community room that has air conditioning, and a computer lab with six up-to-date computers and a photo-quality printer, so residents can connect with others or tend to personal business. For relaxation and wellness, Booth Manor sits close to parks, theaters, places of worship, and recreational spots, while pharmacies and doctors' offices are all nearby, making health care easier to access, and transportation options help residents get out to appointments or shopping when needed.
Social and spiritual activities play a big part here, with on-site clubs, devotional services held off-site, and friendly groups organized by the Salvation Army and the Oak Creek Centennial Church. Seniors can keep small pets like dogs, cats, and birds under 20 pounds. Staff stay on hand 24 hours a day in case of emergencies, and a medical call board helps link residents to support when there's a need. The service coordinator program steps in for support-helping arrange for health care, home care, memory care, rehabilitation, diabetic care, moving assistance, incontinence care, and other specialty services, so folks can remain independent as health needs change. The property also accepts Section 8 vouchers along with other subsidies from HUD and WHEDA for those who qualify.
Residents find both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, so there's plenty of room to connect with neighbors or just relax in peace. Almost everything at Booth Manor is set up to make life easier, safer, and a little more pleasant, from having mail delivered on-site to enjoying a meal together, and activities keep the community lively with healthy movement and socializing. The facility welcomes folks seeking assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, respite care, hospice, and those who prefer independent living, with options changing as residents' needs change. Even with all these services and a focus on comfort and calm, Booth Manor stays affordable, supporting seniors while offering a quiet, welcoming place to call home.
