Hil Sunset Home sits in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and serves as a small care home with just six assisted living units, so everything feels a bit more personal and quiet than in larger places, and the staff call the rooms "studio units" though some are semi-private and there's space for storing a few things, and a few units might have kitchenettes. The place does Alzheimer's and memory care with a secured community to prevent those with memory loss from wandering, has 24-hour awake caregivers, and provides special attention with therapies like music, pet visits, and outdoor trips. The staff-including registered nurses-give wellness checks, make personalized care plans, and will help out with things like bathing, eating, moving, dressing, and medications, even for those with low mobility, and when needed, the home provides hospice and respite care, too.
There's a game room for cards and bingo, a fitness room, group exercise and fall prevention classes, outdoor walking trails, a reading room, and a family area for visits. Folks can join in arts and crafts classes, music, daily entertainment, movie nights, and event programs, all designed to help everyone stay active and social. The kitchen serves home-cooked meals every day and meets special diets like diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's a dining room with scheduled meals; the staff also handle moving help, laundry, housekeeping, and arranging for transportation to appointments, errands, or church. For a bit of comfort, the facility includes a beauty and barbershop, spa, sauna, and garden spaces.
Hil Sunset Home allows both cats and dogs, which adds a bit of home for animal lovers, and there's visitor parking on site. Security gets attention, too, since the building uses locks and alert systems, and there's always someone available to help, even for unscheduled requests. The home is licensed as a Community-Based Residential Facility under Wisconsin license #510300 and is one of several connected homes, including HIL Andrew CBRF and HIL Anthony CBRF. With physical therapy services, caregiver support day and night, and small group activities, the place tries to make things comfortable and safe while still giving each person choices and respect. Every unit has its own phone, and there's always a focus on person-centered care and keeping life as flexible and home-like as possible.
