DHS 132, rather than the CBRF/RCAC/adult family home chapters). Two different populations often live under the same roof: short-term rehab patients and long-term residents.

The Shorewood market specifically

Shorewood is a small, dense, walkable lakefront suburb immediately north of Milwaukee's East Side, where compact building stock means smaller-scale senior living options rather than large campuses.

Shorewood's small footprint means families frequently expand their search to neighboring Whitefish Bay or into Milwaukee's East Side for a wider set of verified options.

Questions families ask

How does someone in Milwaukee apply for Family Care or IRIS?

Contact your county's Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) to begin. The ADRC administers Wisconsin's Long-Term Care Functional Screen, which determines eligibility for both programs, and helps enroll members once financial and functional eligibility are confirmed.

Can someone on IRIS live in a CBRF?

No. Per DHS's own IRIS eligibility description, IRIS participants must live in a home, apartment, adult family home, or residential care apartment complex (RCAC) -- not a CBRF or a nursing home.

What is Wisconsin's Long-Term Care Functional Screen?

It's the assessment DHS uses to determine whether someone is functionally eligible for Family Care, IRIS, or other long-term-care Medicaid programs, administered through the local ADRC as part of the enrollment process.

How much does assisted living cost in Wisconsin?

The 2024 CareScout Cost of Care Survey found a Wisconsin statewide median of $73,800 per year (about $6,150/month) for assisted living -- higher than the national median of $70,800/year, and there is no published Milwaukee-metro-specific figure.
