Home›Germantown›Assisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Wisconsin, most communities marketed as “assisted living” are licensed as a Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF), for five or more unrelated adults receiving room, board, supervision and up to three hours of nursing care a week, or as a Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC), which provides private apartments and can deliver up to 28 hours a week of supportive care — a materially higher care ceiling than a CBRF.

Questions families ask

Does a Wisconsin nursing home need a different license than assisted living?

Yes. Skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes) are licensed under a separate rule chapter, Wis. Admin. Code ch. DHS 132, distinct from the CBRF, RCAC, and AFH chapters that govern community-based settings, and provide 24-hour licensed nursing care.

How do I check whether a Milwaukee-area facility's license is current?

Use Wisconsin DHS's DQA Provider Search on the ForwardHealth portal, the state's public tool for looking up a facility's license status and survey/inspection history. It's free and does not require creating an account.

Who licenses and regulates senior care facilities in Wisconsin?

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), Bureau of Assisted Living (BAL) licenses and regulates CBRFs, RCACs, adult family homes, and nursing homes statewide. General licensing contact: 608-266-8482.

What happens if I have a complaint about a Milwaukee-area facility's care?

A complaint about a licensed facility's quality of care can be directed to DHS's Bureau of Assisted Living (608-266-8482), and residents of licensed long-term-care facilities can also contact the Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program at 1-800-815-0015.
