Assisted Living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

As the second-largest city in Wisconsin, Milwaukee has a population of almost 600,000 residents, 10.2% of whom are seniors aged 65 and older. Sitting just off of Lake Michigan’s western shore, Milwaukee is a great place for seniors who enjoy living near the water. Milwaukee is known for its many popular attractions, such as several breweries and the Harley-Davidson Museum, Milwaukee Art Museum, Discovery World and Milwaukee County Zoo.

Assisted living offers both social opportunities and light medical support for aging adults who are ready to move out of fully independent housing. Milwaukee seniors pay an average of $5,324 a month for assisted living, according to data from the Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey. That makes Milwaukee significantly more expensive than either the U.S. average or the Wisconsin average.

In the following overview of assisted living in Milwaukee, we’ll look at how the city’s prices compare to other Wisconsin locations and review some of the free programs that support the lives of Milwaukee’s older residents.
