Franciscan Courts Assisted Living

Franciscan Courts Assisted Living is an extraordinary assisted living community in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is within fascinating Milwaukee County which is part of the Badger State.

Franciscan Gardens is a 48-unit assisted living apartment complex dedicated to the care of the frail elderly and for residents with early memory loss. Franciscan Courts is a 39-unit assisted living apartment complex for the mostly-independent seniors.

The elderly and those with early memory loss have unique needs. As experts in memory care, we recognize that. We opened Franciscan Gardens in 2005, with 48 assisted living apartments for the residents with early memory loss. The apartments offer seniors a chance to manage their own personal space and daily routines while providing assistance when needed.

We provide:

• Medication assistance
• Personal care help
• 24-hour security
• Housekeeping
• Laundry service
• Three meals a day

While safety is key, we offer much more than security. At Franciscan Gardens, we know that residents have already experienced losses, so we offer familiar activities they’ve come to love, like baking and gardening. We also offer fitness classes and day trips, comfortable and attractive space for residents to meet with family and friends, and easy access to our beautiful chapel for worship and reflection.

Our assisted living apartments let you maintain your independence while receiving the occasional assistance you need for peace of mind.  Franciscan Courts’ compassionate, professional staff is available 24 hours as needed by residents.

We provide:

• Medication assistance
• Housekeeping
• Meals
• A courtesy van
• Activities
• Companionship
• Assistance with personal care

Franciscan Villa’s Memory Care Program nurtures your loved one’s special needs due to Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of memory impairment with a holistic and person-centered approach to care. Our personalized approach focuses on who each resident is and the value each person holds, offering a window into the life of each individual. 

Our focus is on the advanced care necessary to meet the challenges of those experiencing some form of memory loss. Each private suite is designed with the philosophy that this is home. We encourage families to personalize each suite with items that stir happy moments and special remembrances for their loved one.

Francis House is Franciscan Villa’s 64-unit memory care assisted living facility. It is well regarded as a safe and comfortable haven for those with mid– to late-stage Alzheimer’s and dementia. With its secure and enclosed outside courtyards, Francis House offers peace of mind to family and friends while its neighborhood design with home-like atmosphere minimizes challenges and stress for residents.

In addition to the beautiful memory garden, Francis House offers an exclusive dining room and activity center allows residents to interact with caregivers and others in a private environment.
