Wilson Commons is a senior living community sitting on seven acres of landscaped land right by Wilson Park, where the atmosphere feels friendly and welcoming and folks seem to get along, with staff like Executive Director Rick Roeglin and Community Relations Manager Kaitlin Kelly making sure things run smoothly. People can choose from independent or assisted living apartments, some called Wilson Commons Senior Living or Polonaise assisted living, with open-concept one- or two-bedroom floorplans, private kitchens, and personal storage in certain apartments, and the baths and showers can handle wheelchairs. Residents find the maintenance-free lifestyle convenient, especially since there's no endowment fee and rent's month-to-month, and the heated underground parking with carwash bay means the car's always ready, while extra parking's easy for guests.
Friends and family are welcome to join in the dining area, sharing meals prepared by chefs and planners in places like the Central Kitchen and sharing the experience in a space that feels communal, then folks often spend time in the library, study areas, lounges, or try the beauty salon, and some take up gardening outside or walk along the trails, making use of the greenspace or even tending to outdoor garden plots. Wilson Commons keeps daily life organized with a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment activities, along with weekly fitness classes, clubs, events, and outings using free scheduled transportation or trips off-site, plus devotional services in the chapel including regular Catholic mass and Lutheran services.
People with pets can bring small dogs and cats, with policies in place and a weight limit for dogs, and the building allows Wi-Fi, secure entry, and has same-level laundry, locked lobby, serving kitchen, craft and community rooms, and options like a fitness center too, creating many spots for residents to stay active and connected. The supportive, well-trained staff is available to help with care or daily needs, and those who need extra help find medication management, personalized care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and even specialized help for adults facing memory loss like Alzheimer's or dementia, all right on the campus. Activities inside and out, easy access to places like Milwaukee Public Market or Summerfest, amenities like gardening areas and thoughtful on-site support, along with study lounges, resources for care planning, a documentary, real resident stories, and caregiver tools, all tilt the focus toward an active and social retirement for seniors, who enjoy life's next phase here with neighbors who understand and staff who know how to help.
