ProHealth Regency Senior Communities New Berlin sits on a 31-acre campus, surrounded by walking trails, wildlife viewing areas, and a private three-acre lake, so residents can enjoy fresh air and quiet time outside if they want to, and the place itself has an old hospital building from 1966, now used as a 63-bed assisted living wing, alongside a newer wing with 307 independent apartments meant for older adults who want to live on their own with some extra support. The buildings and grounds offer ranch-style homes and apartments, with floor plans ranging from one-bedroom units at 594 square feet to two-bedrooms with two baths and 721 square feet, and some spaces even go up to 1,240 square feet, giving folks a choice if they want something a little bigger. The facility, managed by Capri Communities in partnership with ProHealth Care and overseen by Wimmer Communities, has a focus on serving independent seniors, those who need daily help, and people needing memory care, and calls its memory care programming Blu Grotto®, which is research-based and tries to engage mind, body, and spirit to keep people sharp and feeling good.
The staff and building support independent living, assisted living, respite care, and memory care, but the assisted living wing specifically only takes seniors who need help with daily routines like bathing, eating meals, managing medicine, or getting around but don't have dementia or cognitive problems, since that's a different area and care type. Folks in independent living have access to age-restricted activities and clubs, with plenty of on-site and off-site activities, plus religious services, a billiards lounge, woodworking shop, movie theater, bar/lounge, library, bistro, café, and meeting rooms, plus they have things like a beauty salon, barber shop, computer room, fireplace in the common lounging areas, and game rooms too. Amenities include full tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, an outdoor patio garden, fitness center, TV lounge, and organized activities designed for social, educational, and entertainment purposes that help people keep their minds and bodies moving. Meals are served restaurant-style, with guest meals offered, and there's complimentary transportation and resident parking to help everybody stay active and independent.
The facility also provides housekeeping, beauticians, skilled nursing, and both respite and hospice care, as well as accessibility features throughout the campus. Residents can join a variety of structured programs, religious services-including Protestant, Catholic, and other faiths-and there's a visiting chaplain for those who want it. Management encourages a family-like feeling, claiming staff are friendly and trained, and help residents keep their independence as much as possible. Regency's memory care neighborhoods try to stay calm and supportive, focusing on peaceful routines while also encouraging some fun or engagement. Renovations over the years have shaped the space, but that old hospital building required a lot more expensive fixes, so parts of the assisted living area have faced changes and even possible closure, with staff and residents given options to move to partner facilities run by ProHealth Care or Capri Communities. Rental prices here are higher than many places in Wisconsin, with monthly rent ranging from about $3,700 to $5,400. The campus is close to stores, restaurants, and entertainment, supporting an active senior lifestyle. Regency stays committed to equal housing opportunities and tries to create a warm, welcoming environment for seniors with different levels of care needs.
