Hillcrest Home sits at 1467 S 75th St in West Allis, Milwaukee County, in a 1917 Craftsman bungalow known for its cream brick and reinforced concrete that even supports a second-floor ballroom, so you get a mix of old charm and modern needs taken care of, and you'll see the building's got history with its roots as a house and later as a nursing home, and now it serves as a survey-licensed, eight-bed Community-based Residential Facility focusing on semi-ambulatory and non-ambulatory care for seniors. The home provides independent living, assisted living, long-term care, home care, and memory care, so folks can get support as their needs change, and there are tailored services for people with Alzheimer's or dementia with special features to keep everyone safe and comfortable, like emergency alert systems, locked areas, and staff around the clock who help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, eating, and moving from bed to chair if needed.
The care team helps out with household chores, laundry, and even dry cleaning as well as meal preparation, which covers special diets for allergies or diabetes, so no one feels overlooked, and if help's needed getting to a doctor or arranging transportation for errands, staff will coordinate that too. There are Wi-Fi and telephone connections in each room, and the rooms come furnished, so move-in's pretty simple with staff helping out if folks need it. The dining room offers all-day meals for various tastes, and there are movie nights, creative art classes, shopping trips, group activities, and walking paths or gardens outside, so the days stay full and interesting. People can go to nearby churches like Apostle Presbyterian, First United Methodist, First Lutheran, School Sisters of Notre Dame, or Jordan Lutheran if faith is a part of their lives, and if someone needs medication, health care, or hospital help, there's quick access to Aurora West Allis Medical Center, Milwaukee VA, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and Froedtert among others, with nearby pharmacies including Aurora, Walgreens, and Kmart.
Hillcrest Home stands out because it keeps its size small with just eight beds, which lets staff know each resident pretty well, and the range of care types includes independent living options in the Signature Villas, Grand Lodge apartments, and The Cottages, all of them linked to Hillcrest Country Estates, which is a Continuing Care Retirement Community for broader choices as needs change. Residents get help with medication management, bathing, dressing, moving, and daily living, but there's encouragement to stay as independent as they can. The place is survey-licensed by the state, following the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services terms. It doesn't take Medicare unless the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have given certification. With community dining, organized activities, support for memory conditions, and built-in safety features, Hillcrest Home aims to offer a comfortable, safe, and engaging place for seniors, where dignity and personal choice matter and help's there when needed, all in the heart of West Allis, not far from shopping, churches, and health care.
