Hart Park Square Senior Living sits along the Menomonee River in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, and belongs to Sinceri Senior Living, a group that tries to make care both personal and warm. The place has a simple, homelike feel with a friendly staff always there to help out, and you'll see lots of green space, gardens, and patios where folks can sit with friends or walk their dogs-though you won't see big dogs since pets have to stay under 40 pounds. People can choose studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, some with private outdoor spots, washers and dryers, patios or balconies, and cable TV, and you'll see common rooms, activity spaces, a library, a beauty salon, and even a restaurant where folks get two fresh meals daily.
You'll find all sorts of activities for different interests-book clubs, a choir, bingo, gardening, cooking, yoga, art, and dance, with a Lifestyle Director keeping the calendar full for people in independent living and assisted living, plus dance events, trivia, outings around town, and religious services for more than one faith. When someone needs help, there's always staff on call for personal care, medication management, bathing, dressing, or just keeping an eye on things, and the place keeps a nurse on part-time along with other trained folks, including those who know how to help people living with dementia or chronic illnesses.
People here can join fitness groups, stretching classes, Wii Bowling, and use the walking trails outside, or just relax in the living room or lobby. There's a hall for gatherings, a common kitchen for group meals, and spaces for crafts or learning, including a Lifelong Learning Program where local pros teach classes. The community tries to help with everyday life too, having staff handle housekeeping, laundry, linen service, maintenance, and even pest control.
Safety stays near the top, with security systems, emergency call buttons, controlled building entry, and prepared plans for what to do if something goes wrong, and units are accessible for wheelchairs. People can go out in shuttles for shopping or doctors, and get in-home care and podiatry help if they need it. Residents with memory troubles get extra support, with special spaces and careful routines to help keep them safe and comfortable. There's also respite care if someone needs a short break, and skilled nursing for those needing more than basic help.
People living here can pay with private funds, insurance, or sometimes Medicaid, though not for memory care. Some folks qualify for financial help or veterans' benefits, and there's always info on how that works. The place runs as a non-profit and puts focus on kindness, gentle routines, and keeping things relaxed and social-with a big yard, updated facilities, and a sense people here know each other and look out for one another. Folks who live here say the meals are good, it feels safe, and the staff treat them kindly, everybody gets a chance to be part of things or just take it easy.
