How families in Story Hill usually search

Neighborhood matters less than families expect, and more than communities admit. The practical test is not the map. It is whether the person who will visit most often will still be visiting in month eight.

What is specific to Story Hill

Because Story Hill is compact, families here typically compare it against nearby Washington Heights and the neighboring city of Wauwatosa, which borders the neighborhood directly.

Questions families ask

What's a fall-prevention checklist for an older adult living alone in Milwaukee?

Remove loose rugs and clutter from walkways, install grab bars in the bathroom, ensure stairways and entries are well-lit, wear supportive non-slip footwear indoors, and have a clear, tested plan for winter ice and snow removal on the exterior steps and walkway.

Can Medicaid pay for home modifications to help a senior age in place in Wisconsin?

Family Care and IRIS, Wisconsin's Medicaid long-term-care programs, can in some cases fund home modifications or assistive equipment as part of a member's approved care plan, but this varies by individual assessment and is not a guaranteed, automatic benefit -- ask your Family Care Managed Care Organization or IRIS consultant agency directly.

How do I know it's time to consider hospice for a family member in Milwaukee?

Hospice is generally appropriate when a physician certifies a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course, and when the goal of care shifts from curative treatment to comfort. A physician referral, not a family decision alone, formally starts the process.
