Independent living plus assisted living in Wauwatosa; verified address differs from the operator's marketing URL slug.

Harwood Place offers independent living in 1- and 2-bedroom apartments ranging from 675 to 1,400 square feet, plus a dedicated assisted-living care area with 24/7 staffing and individualized care plans. It is part of the same operator network as The Lutheran Home (verified separately above), which gives Harwood Place residents priority access to short-term rehab, skilled nursing, and memory care at the adjacent Lutheran Home campus if their needs change.

Verification note: the operator's own marketing URL slug for this property references 'brookfield-senior-living,' but the confirmed street address published on that same operator page is 8220 Harwood Avenue, Wauwatosa. This entry lists Harwood Place under Wauwatosa -- the confirmed street address -- rather than Brookfield, the URL slug, consistent with verifying against the operator's actual published address rather than a marketing URL. Reach the community at 414-256-6800.

Wauwatosa in context

Wauwatosa's senior-care market is shaped directly by its hospital campus: Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin anchor a cluster of skilled-nursing and rehabilitation providers built around hospital discharge planning, alongside longstanding residential neighborhoods with an older housing stock.
