Bennett-Options for Comm Growth

Bennett-Options For Comm Growth sits in West Allis, Wisconsin, and serves seniors across Milwaukee County who are looking for a place that tries to make community life stronger and more active, and what you've got here is more than one home, actually several different addresses like the 107TH ST HOUSE (License #: 13589), 117TH STREET AFH, 118TH STREET HOUSE, 2ND CENTURY (License #: 310345), 96TH STREET HOUSE, 98TH STREET SCHLINGER, and 99TH ST HOUSE, and they all have between 4 and 8 assisted living units, so they're small enough to feel almost like a family but still have a lot of options for care, and all these places work under the idea that folks get more enjoyment out of life when they're in a close-knit community, so the programs focus on building friendships, getting people to join activities, and helping everyone feel involved whether that's in arts and crafts classes, daily events, celebrating holidays, or attending cultural activities together. Houses are different in terms of the features and levels of care, with some ramped and fully handicapped accessible for people who use wheelchairs and some semi-handicap accessible, though not every location is a fit for those needing full wheelchair support; in some homes, residents might need more hands-on care, help with bathing, dressing, eating, or supervision for those with dementia, Alzheimer's, cognitive delays, autism, or behavioral needs. Staff including Dan Drury, Jeff Holloway, Jamie Lester, and Darlene Williams provide 24-hour support, and some homes cater to higher functioning residents who enjoy being out in the community, while others take in people needing close supervision, sometimes with shared bedrooms. Communication features like alarms and special systems are available, and there are homes where staff can use sign language for D/deaf residents. Residents get help with daily living tasks, medication management, laundry, housekeeping, meals (with special diets when needed like for diabetes), and medical appointments, and there's always the option for customized care plans, fall prevention, in-room emergency systems, and even things like chef-prepared meals in a big dining hall, walking trails, gardens, a beauty salon, laundry, massage services, and movie nights. Some homes offer semi-private or private bedrooms, furnished studios, or even one-bedroom apartments, and most places have cable TV, Wi-Fi, and all utilities included. Healthcare services can include on-site physical and occupational therapy, weight management, feeding support, even coordination with outside providers, and there's regular physician checkups too. They try to make each place as homey as possible, with big balconies, outdoor gardens, and community rooms, plus residents are encouraged to take part in daily group activities if they're able. You can even bring a small pet in some cases. There's move-in coordination for new residents, pharmacy services, a community library, games, beauty and barber services, spiritual support in a chapel, and transportation help for medical appointments or errands. The homes are licensed by the State of Wisconsin and the staff does what they can to help seniors feel safe, supported, and involved, with care adapted to whoever lives there.
