The Gables of Germantown - Independent Living

The Gables of Germantown is a senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care services all on one campus, and folks can choose from studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, as well as spacious two-bedroom cottage homes with private entries, so there are different options if someone prefers more space or needs extra help. The campus sits on landscaped grounds with a European heritage look, with the main building showing turrets, flower beds, walking paths, and comfortable outdoor patio seating; people can garden a bit, relax in the courtyard, or use the grill if they like. Residents use amenities like a library with bookshelves and a computer area for reading or catching up on things, a fitness center with weekly exercise classes, a chapel, salon, pub, game and community rooms with kitchens, woodworking shop, coffee shop, and a general store for daily needs, plus heated underground parking for cars and an emergency call system in every unit. Apartments have patios or balconies, private bathrooms, washer/dryers, walk-in closets, extra storage, cable TV, and furnished units for people who want them, and all the basics like heating, air conditioning, WiFi, water, and telephone are included in the rent. The community lets residents bring pets and doesn't require long-term commitments or endowment fees, so people can choose how long they want to stay. Independent living services focus on keeping life easy for active, healthy seniors, and assisted living staff will help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, or taking the right medicine, so folks feel more comfortable if they need it. The special Blu Grotto® Memory Care neighborhood has secure spaces and trained staff to help folks with Alzheimer's disease or dementia feel safe and supported, with routines and staff to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. The dining program offers nutritious meals designed by chefs and meal planners, served in restaurant-style dining rooms with flexible dining packages, so meals are both social and tasty, and there are lots of lifestyle activities-game nights, social trips, garden activities, exercise classes-that help people stay engaged and form new friendships. People often say the staff are joyful and helpful, creating a culture that feels like family, and the community has received several awards, including being named the #1 Retirement Community in the Greater Milwaukee Area and earning 'Best of Senior Living' honors for its care and environment. Health care offerings include diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory support, and medication management, with 24/7 staffing, so help is always available if needed. Transportation is arranged for group outings and appointments, and the community is close to public transit and has ample parking for visitors and residents alike. The Gables of Germantown is part of the Capri Communities network, and many people like that there are no big upfront costs or complicated contracts, just a safe and comfortable place to live in a connected senior community with a lot of daily choices and friendly faces.
