117th Street - AFH sits in the Cannon Park area, right in the West View part of West Allis, Wisconsin, and the surroundings have a good number of people living nearby, so you don't feel too isolated if you stay there, especially if you like being in a neighborhood where people come and go. The care home is small, with a total of 4 assisted living units, and offers both private and shared apartments, including studio and one-bedroom set-ups, so folks have a couple of choices, which does help make things a bit more comfortable. This place holds a Wisconsin license, number 12110, meaning the staff follows certain rules when working with seniors. The home feels more like a house, and the staff supports seniors who need daily help, like taking a bath, feeding by spoon, or managing continence, plus there's support for people living with Parkinson's disease and those just home from surgery.
Every day, residents get three meals, and if someone needs a special diet, the staff dietitian plans out menus that are easier to read and understand, and snacks are always available when folks get the munchies between meals. Some seniors might like that there are regular health check-ups, a fitness center for staying active, and even a community kitchen and a little cafe for simpler gatherings. There's a theatre room for movie watching, and spaces for sitting together, all within a home-like setup where the staff tries to keep things relaxed and friendly, letting people feel a sense of routine and connection.
Rooms come with emergency systems, and there's an option for transportation if someone needs to get around town or to appointments. Staff also provide help escorting residents within the facility, and pharmacy services are there for medicine needs. On-site parking is available, so families and visitors won't need to search too far when they stop by, which helps a lot, especially for folks who have trouble walking far.
117th Street - AFH focuses on creating custom care plans for every resident, handling both physical and personal needs, which covers things like continence management and getting around safely, and you'll find services that match what's needed in an adult foster home or small group home setting. Everything is kept fairly simple, aiming to provide security and a bit of comfort for older adults who don't need a big, crowded place but want steady care, meals, and a place to call their own.
