    Unsafe understaffed unprofessional poor care

    I would not send a loved one here. I experienced severe understaffing, rude/unprofessional staff, missed or delayed meds, poor hygiene (dirty linens, soiled rooms, bad catheter care), outbreaks and hospitalizations, and neglectful communication from management. A few nurses/therapists were caring and parts of the building were clean, but the high cost and unsafe, disorganized care left me heartbroken and unwilling to recommend it.

    About Waterfall Health of Brown Deer

    Waterfall Health of Brown Deer sits over on W. Dean Rd. in Milwaukee, and it handles many types of care, since they've got Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Home Health Care, Hospice, Non-Medical Home Care, and even Adult Day Services, which makes this place cover a lot of needs in one location, and when someone visits, they'll notice there are modern touches, but still a quieter, calm feeling around, with spaces set up to feel warm and welcome, and you'll see things like a library for quiet reading, an arts room for creative hours, fitness programs for moving around, and a movie theater that's scheduled for shows, plus daily activities from the community, which helps bring people together. This place keeps things wheelchair-accessible and accommodates people who can't walk on their own, and folks can get help with things like bathing, dressing, taking their medicines, and moving from bed to chair, and round-the-clock supervision means someone's always around when needed, with an efficient system to call for help. The healthcare staff tries to support each resident's needs, focusing on health and happiness, and the team runs care management and works on promoting wellness, so the environment feels safe for people at all stages, right from more active seniors to people needing heavy nursing care, including those with memory issues.

    The facility shows attention to infection control, but recent inspection reports do raise concerns; there have been 67 deficiency findings, including 7 violations related to infection, and one serious incident where respiratory care wasn't kept safe, showing that while care is provided, problems have been recorded, and people should read these reports to understand more. Nurse turnover runs high, with nearly 60% of nurses leaving compared to a state average of 49%, and hours that nurses spend per resident each day are lower than the state average, landing at about 3.5 hours per resident. Waterfall Health of Brown Deer operates as a for-profit business, offering 87 beds, with around 59 residents on an average day and a focus on offering support, comfort, and a sense of peace inside a thoughtfully designed space.

    Room types and other details are available if someone asks or visits the facility's website, and there are easy ways to get in touch or learn more, but no extra public information from the Waterfall Health company itself is published about this Brown Deer location at this time, so anyone looking will need to reach out if they want full details on what rooms or programs are open. The community does have a history as a skilled nursing facility trying to provide specialized care across all stages and needs, and the brand offers a broad set of services for seniors who prefer active adult living, need day care, or want all-inclusive care, making sure support is accessible, but always with facts worth reviewing before making a choice.
