The Wisconsin Department of Health Services licenses three categories of assisted living facilities, including community-based residential facilities, which are licensed based on their size and the level of ability of the residents they serve; residential care apartment complexes, which are not licensed or monitored but are required to register once with the DHS; and adult family homes, which are private residences with a live-in care provider. Weston has four assisted living facilities, and there are more than a dozen more in nearby cities like Wausau and Schofield.
