Located in the Milwaukee metropolitan area in Wisconsin, West Allis enables seniors to enjoy a suburban lifestyle just minutes from shops, restaurants and cultural attractions. Renowned health care providers, such as the Aurora Sinai Medical Center, are within driving distance, and the city also has several senior centers, offering opportunities for older adults to make new friends and pursue hobbies. Approximately 15.8% of the city's 58,950 residents are aged 65+.
Assisted living communities in West Allis offer an alternative to living alone for seniors who require some help with daily activities but don't need the skilled nursing and medical treatments provided by nursing homes. Because social amenities are a highlight of most communities, assisted living can also be ideal for individuals who feel isolated at home or don't have many chances to socialize. This type of care costs $5,324 per month in West Allis, considerably higher than the state and national averages of $4,600 and $4,500.
This guide provides insights into assisted living expenses in West Allis and other locations in Wisconsin, helping seniors decide where to retire. It also includes a list of local nonprofit organizations that can offer further information and assistance.
