Hil Pewaukee House

Hil Pewaukee House sits on Oakton Avenue in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and provides assisted living care for up to 8 residents, though some sources mention units ranging from 4 to 57, but the small 8-bed size seems to be the standard here, with the facility offering studio, semi-private, and companion rooms. The building is a two-story colonial-style home with a vinyl exterior, about 2,500 square feet of living space, a covered porch, a three-seasons room, and a full stone basement, and there are mature trees lining the driveway and plenty of parking. Residents can use cable or satellite TV and high-speed internet, and the home runs on municipal water and natural gas radiant heating. Daily life includes home-cooked meals, with staff able to adjust diets for diabetes or high blood pressure, and help is available for bathing, dressing, toileting, laundry, and mobility. Memory care, respite care, hospice, and rehabilitation services round out the options, and the staff organizes medication, coordinates with doctors, and provides 24-hour supervision with emergency alert systems in place. Amenities like a barber or salon, fitness schedules, recreation rooms, reading areas, and outdoor garden paths aim to make life comfortable, plus there's a garden shed outside for storage, and the community schedules activities like music, art, tabletop games, movie nights, and outdoor trips, sometimes adding music therapy, animal visits, and fitness classes. Some rooms may be accessible for wheelchairs, and the facility helps with transfer assistance and non-ambulatory care as well. There's support for transportation to appointments, errands, and faith services when needed, and the community usually holds social events, shared meals, and occasional movie nights in the common dining area. The facility belongs to a group with unique names for its care homes, like Hanson House, Andrew Home, and Anthony Home, and it operates under the CBRF (Community-Based Residential Facility) program, with related homes such as HIL Andrew CBRF and HIL Anthony CBRF nearby. The average rating sits about in the middle at 5 out of 10, suggesting steady service but probably with some areas that could improve. The biggest focus seems to be on offering steady daily support, keeping residents safe, helping with medication, and providing person-centered care with structured activities in a simple, homelike setting.
