Milwaukee County is the core of the metro and by far the largest and most senior-housing-dense county in the region, anchoring three major hospital systems -- Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, Ascension Columbia St. Mary's Milwaukee, and Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center -- along with the Milwaukee County Transit System's fixed-route buses and Transit Plus paratransit service, and the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Milwaukee County.
Short answer
Milwaukee County is served by its own Aging & Disability Resource Center and by the statewide Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. We list 17 verified senior care communities in Milwaukee County.
Which agencies cover Milwaukee County
- Aging & Disability Resource Center: Aging & Disability Resource Center of Milwaukee County (414) 289-6874.
- Long-Term Care Ombudsman: Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care, 1-800-815-0015 (statewide; in Milwaukee County specifically, ombudsmen are assigned by zip code rather than one county-wide contact).
- Medicaid long-term care: Family Care and IRIS, both administered through the county's ADRC for enrollment. Room and board is generally not covered by either program.
Do not assume county-adjacent agencies apply automatically. Each of Wisconsin's
four core counties in this metro has its own dedicated ADRC -- there is no single shared regional
agency covering all four.

How Wisconsin licenses assisted living. Wisconsin uses four separate license types -- CBRF, RCAC, adult family home, and nursing home -- rather than one single assisted living license. Read the full explanation →
