What to Consider About Assisted Living in Elm Grove

Located in Waukesha County, Elm Grove is a quaint Wisconsin village that earned itself the designation as a "Bird City" from the state in 2011 and was named the Best Suburb in America by Business Insider in 2014. The area retains a small-town charm, while still offering convenient access to many amenities and cultural attractions in Milwaukee.

Elm Grove has a population of just over 6,000 residents, and 21.5 percent are over the age of 65. While there is only one assisted living facility within the village itself, an additional 121 are available in surrounding communities, including Wauwatosa, Brookfield and Milwaukee. These facilities are all licensed and certified by the state Department of Health Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Elm Grove

  • Elm Grove is served by the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS), which offers seniors reduced rates on both regular and premium fares. MCTS also offers free or discounted door-to-door transportation services with its Transit Express and Transit Plus programs which help seniors get to appointments and complete errands anywhere within Milwaukee County. 
  • While the Wisconsin cost of living tends to be lower than the national average of 100, at 136, Elm Grove has a considerably higher cost of living than other cities in the area, largely due to housing costs, which may impact seniors on a tight budget. 
  • The general Milwaukee area has a combined violent and property crime rate of 48.8 out of 100, which exceeds the U.S. national average of 34.6. Elm Grove has a much lower crime rate at 15.4, making it a much safer alternative for seniors living on their own.
  • Seniors who enjoy spending time outdoors may find winters in Elm Grove to be cold, with lows reaching an average of 13 degrees Fahrenheit, and an average of 42 inches of snow expected each year. Summers are much warmer, with highs of around 82 degrees.
  • Elm Grove has an array of community resources for seniors, including the St. Mary's Senior Center, an organization that strives to provide seniors with opportunities to engage in active, social and educational opportunities, including dancing, speakers, day trips and luncheons.
  • While Elm Grove has no local facilities from which to choose in the event of a medical emergency or illness, the Froedtert Hospital, located in Milwaukee, is less than 5 miles away.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Elm Grove

Seniors are eligible for some assistance with personal care services through programs such as PACE and IRIS, which are a part of Wisconsin's Medicaid State Plan.
