Congregational Home

Congregational Home Residence & Rehabilitation sits in Brookfield, WI, where people can find a wide range of services and care levels all in one place, so folks who need independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or short-term rehab have different options to fit their needs, and couples who require different levels of help can still live together here because of a rare dual license that allows this, and all rooms and apartments are private, so no one has to share with a roommate, and couples can stay together if they choose. The community offers 100% private rooms, which include rehab suites with a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette, and short-term subacute rehab patients who use Medicare can stay in these suites without added cost, so families find that helpful during recovery. Residents have access to a full continuum of care that covers everything from assisted living, memory care, home care, skilled nursing, to independent senior apartments, and even hospice care is available when needed, making sure folks don't have to leave the community as needs change. The staff uses only their own employees-never temp agency staff-and nursing assistants spend all their time helping residents instead of doing housekeeping or kitchen work, which helps keep caregiving consistent. Nursing coverage is strong, with onsite RN nurses present 24 hours a day on all three shifts, and a partnership with Froedtert Health ensures physicians and nurse practitioners are onsite daily, offering quick access to medical care. Congregational Home was named the 2024 Top Choice for Nursing Home Care by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel online readers and was marked by US NEWS & WORLD REPORT as a 2025 High Performing facility in both Short-Term Rehab and Long-Term Care, and it has Medicare's highest 5-star rating for nursing staff levels, so many people feel comfortable relying on their care. The facility supports both social and private needs, with activities that include social, educational, and entertainment programs to help residents learn, relax, and be with others, and a 24-hour help call system with talk capability works like hospital systems, making it easy to ask for help any time. Amenities include indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a fitness center, putting green, a coffee bar, theater, salon, chapel, pet-friendly areas, gardens, walking paths, and cascading water fountains, all surrounded by traditional exteriors and elegant interiors that give a familiar yet comfortable feel. Wi-Fi and high-speed internet are available, and all areas are handicap accessible. Meals and devotional services are provided, and there's a beautician onsite for convenience. The philosophy comes from a Christian heritage, but the focus is on serving people of all faiths by building strong relationships, paying attention to each person's needs, and helping elderly people find growth, learning, and social opportunities they may not have discovered on their own. Respite care is available for those who need short-term support, such as after surgery or injury, with flexible stays from daily to monthly, which many families use to help their loved ones recover in comfort. Memory care is designed for those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, offering personalized care plans and activities to keep cognitive skills active, while assisted living helps residents maintain as much independence as possible with help for personal care and easy access to recreation. Congregational Home puts priority on continuity, safety, and creating a home-like setting where people can feel both supported and connected.
