As the largest WOW-county city, Waukesha draws comparison shopping from families throughout Waukesha County, including Brookfield, New Berlin and Muskego.

Questions families ask

What is an RCAC and how is it different from a CBRF?

A Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) offers independent apartment units, not shared rooms, where residents receive room and board, personal care, and nursing services -- up to 28 hours per week of supportive care per resident, a materially higher ceiling than a CBRF's 3 hours. Both are licensed/certified by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living.

What is an Adult Family Home (AFH) in Wisconsin?

An Adult Family Home is a private home where 3 or 4 unrelated adults reside and receive care, including up to 7 hours per week of nursing care per resident, licensed by the DHS Bureau of Assisted Living. Smaller 1-2 bed adult family homes are regulated separately, under DHS's Division of Medicaid Services rather than DQA licensing.

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.
