Care-Age Of Brookfield sits at 1755 N. Barker Rd in Brookfield, WI, and has been providing care for over 32 years, where folks find a range of services designed to look after both physical and mental health, and they even have a wing for those dealing with dementia, which is handy if that's a concern, and you've got private and semi-private rooms with their own thermostats, bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and, in the suites for guests, things like queen-size sofa sleepers, microwaves, and refrigerators, so visitors can feel comfortable too. The place offers all the basics you'd expect, like help with daily activities, medication management, bathing, dressing, housekeeping, meal preparation done by a chef, transportation to medical appointments, and personal and nursing care around the clock, which they organize with a 24-hour call system and regular supervision for safety-including secured areas for people who might wander.
The Care-Age facility is what's called a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so you get several levels of support in one spot, from independent living to assisted living, nursing home services, memory care, and short-term rehabilitation too, including therapies for speech, occupational needs, and IV therapy, and they take Medicare and Medicaid payments, which can make things easier for families planning finances. With 110 certified beds and about 68 residents staying on average, they keep things busy, though nursing staff turnover is a bit high at 51.2%, and there's a reported 3.89 nurse hours per resident per day, which sits a bit under the state average; the place is also run as a for-profit partnership, managed by Jameie Johnson since July 2019, and they employ both an administrator and a director of admissions and marketing.
Safety and well-being get a lot of attention, with locked areas to keep folks from wandering and special emergency alert systems, plus regular medical supervision, but they did get 26 deficiencies listed in inspection reports-two of those tied to infection, and others for areas like care planning and pharmacy services, so it's worth looking up those reports for full details if that's important to you. The building's got a nice set of community features, including a game room, library, spa, wellness room, arts room, movie theater, fitness room, outdoor paths, gardens, and common green spaces, and you'll see plenty of organized activities, whether it's music, arts, fitness, religious services, or resident-run programs, and meals come with menu choices for special diets. Folks get help moving in, furnished rooms, and even volunteer opportunities, and you'll spot job postings if someone wants to apply.
While Care-Age Of Brookfield isn't accredited by the Better Business Bureau, they do offer a variety of skilled care, including long-term and subacute rehabilitation, and they accept both Medicare and Medicaid, which helps many families. There's a staff directory you can look at, an activities calendar for social events, and they provide coordination with healthcare providers as part of their service. The community keeps its doors open for people who have trouble getting around, making it possible for those with mobility issues to stay, and you'll see shared and private options on rooms, guest spaces with extra amenities, and comfortable living arrangements for both short- and long-term stays.
