Heritage Court - Menomonee Falls stands out as a purpose-built memory care and assisted living community that serves up to 36 residents, split between two 18-suite neighborhoods inside a renovated ranch-style brick and frame building, and you'll find there's a secure and calm feeling as you walk through the wide hallways and pass by the cozy common areas with a fireplace or those sunny large community rooms where people gather for activities. Residents can choose from both furnished and unfurnished studio or one-bedroom apartments, some with private full or half bathrooms, all with plenty of space and storage, and there's wall-to-wall carpeting to keep things warm and comfortable, while the layouts are plain and easy to follow to help reduce confusion for folks with memory problems.
The whole place is designed with safety in mind, from the secured exterior doors to the garden courtyard in the middle where residents can stroll along the flowers and relax on a bench, to advanced features like fall detection with Vayyar Care and smart bathrooms from TrueLoo that help alert staff in case someone needs assistance. Staff watch over residents day and night, with on-site RNs and LPNs, visiting nurses, and a team who knows how to handle people who may wander, act out, or need close monitoring for their medications, and you'll find support for standard assisted living needs but a special focus on people with Alzheimer's or dementia, including tailored care plans for each person and help with activities of daily living or specialized therapies right there on site.
Meals come in several varieties, from restaurant-style dining and private family dining rooms to vegetarian, gluten-free, and low salt or sugar diets, and they'll work with you if you have specific needs; sometimes they even have guest meals or special celebrations for residents and families. For recreation, there's a full calendar with brain games, stretching, yoga, art classes, cooking, intergenerational visits with kids or animals, trips out, and just plain fun like trivia or the Heritage Bucks store where residents can shop for small items. There's a library and visiting room, several quiet sitting areas, spa rooms for a good soak, and patio space in summer, and devotional services are available for those who want them. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy happen on-site too, and they welcome both men and women, including folks who may like to have their dog or cat join them, as pets are allowed by policy.
The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless there's a specific certification, but it has an all-inclusive pricing setup so families know what to expect. Heritage Court is fully licensed as a Community Based Residential Facility and state surveys help keep tabs on the quality of care, and with a community rating of 8.6 out of 10, you'll find it's a well-respected choice locally, dedicated to nurturing the body, mind, and spirit with a focus on privacy, dignity, independence, and peace of mind for both residents and their loved ones.
