What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kenosha
Kenosha, Wisconsin is the fourth-largest city in the state and is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. In the early 1900s, this area was home to numerous Italian, Irish, Polish, and German immigrants, creating a rich melting-pot culture that can be enjoyed by seniors today. In Kenosha, seniors can choose from 13 assisted living facilities within the city limits and 13 a little farther away. In the state of Wisconsin, there are four types of assisted living facilities (ALF) and programs, namely adult day care, adult family homes, community-based residential facilities and residential care apartment complexes. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services oversees licensure and regulation of ALFs.

- The air quality in Kenosha is given a score of 64 based on the number of harmful air pollutants. To put this in perspective, the national average air quality is scored at 58.
