Assisted Living

There are three types of assisted living facilities in Wisconsin: Adult Family Homes (AFH), Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRF), and Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCAC). Assisted living facilities are licensed, certified, registered, and regulated through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Quality Assurance (DQA), and the Bureau of Assisted Living (BAL). Regulations vary by type of facility. Assisted living facilities may provide a variety of services, including room and board, meals, recreational and social activities, supportive cares, personal and nursing services, and more. Services may vary. Payment options may include self-pay, insurance, Veteran’s benefits, and public funding. Medicare does not cover assisted living facilities. Additional information can be located via the WI Department of Health Services or by clicking one of the links below.
