Who We Serve: CBRFs serve adults who need more than just room and board but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Residents include older adults, people with developmental disabilities, mental illness, or physical disabilities.

Memory Care Services: This facility offers specialized memory care services, including staff trained in dementia care techniques, activity programming designed for cognitive engagement, and appropriate safety measures. When evaluating memory care options, families should consider staff training, staff-to-resident ratios, security features, and the approach to managing behavioral symptoms.

Licensing: Typically licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance. CBRFs must meet specific requirements in Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter DHS 83.

Payment Options: In Wisconsin, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Family Care, IRIS. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Wisconsin Department of Health Services or visit https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid/ltc.htm to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.

Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs.
