The Cedarburg market specifically

Cedarburg is a historic small city in Ozaukee County with a walkable downtown; its senior-housing base is smaller than nearby Mequon's, so families here often also consider Mequon or West Bend for a broader range of options.

Because Cedarburg's supply is smaller, families here frequently widen their search to Mequon or West Bend for additional verified options.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

Questions families ask

Does Wisconsin have one 'assisted living license' like some other states?

No. Wisconsin runs four separate license/certification types -- Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF), Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC), Adult Family Home (AFH), and nursing home -- each licensed by the DHS Division of Quality Assurance, Bureau of Assisted Living, under different rule chapters. There is no single umbrella 'assisted living' license the way some states use the term.

What is a CBRF in Wisconsin?

A Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) is a residential setting where 5 or more unrelated adults live together and receive room and board, supervision, and support services, plus up to 3 hours of nursing care per week per resident. CBRFs are licensed under Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 83 by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living.

What is an RCAC and how is it different from a CBRF?

A Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) offers independent apartment units, not shared rooms, where residents receive room and board, personal care, and nursing services -- up to 28 hours per week of supportive care per resident, a materially higher ceiling than a CBRF's 3 hours. Both are licensed/certified by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living.

What is an Adult Family Home (AFH) in Wisconsin?

An Adult Family Home is a private home where 3 or 4 unrelated adults reside and receive care, including up to 7 hours per week of nursing care per resident, licensed by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living. Smaller 1-2 bed adult family homes are regulated separately, under DHS's Division of Medicaid Services rather than DQA licensing.
