Heritage West Allis sits in a spot with easy walking access to stores, restaurants, and parks, so folks can get out and enjoy the area when they want. The community offers 78 units for seniors, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments available, and you can pick a furnished or unfurnished place, so you've got some choice about how you want your living space to feel. The apartments have nice touches like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, in-floor radiant heat, walk-in showers, and either private patios or balconies; most have kitchenettes, and the independent living units come with a full kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, and free heat and hot water, which is a real comfort, especially during Wisconsin winters.

Pets are allowed, which is something a lot of seniors appreciate.
Residents receive help as they need it, with assisted living, enhanced assisted living, independent living, and memory care options, including specialized support for Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia. There's a full team of nurses, therapists, and a multidisciplinary staff, all providing care around the clock. Personalized care plans, medication monitoring, and wellness programs that include physical, occupational, and speech therapy are all available. The staff pays attention and knows the residents by name, and someone checks in on you to make sure you're safe, day or night.
Meals are made from scratch and you can eat in private or open dining rooms, or even have your food delivered to your apartment or pick it up yourself. Memory care residents get table mates to help make the meals feel more like home.
