Family Care
Affordable senior living, without compromise
When finances change, care shouldn’t have to. Through Wisconsin’s Family Care program – offered at Parkview Gardens – eligible residents can continue receiving the same support, services, and sense of belonging they’ve always known. Our community accepts Family Care through established contracts with approved MCOs, making it easier for families to plan confidently for the future.
How Family Care Works
Family Care is a Wisconsin program that helps cover the cost of long-term care for those who qualify, including support with daily living, meals, care coordination, and more. This program allows residents who meet eligibility requirements the opportunity for assistance and to remain in the community when private care funding is depleted. Participation is coordinated through established Managed Care Organization contracts, creating a path for uninterrupted support and personalized care. In some cases, families may need to consider downsizing or transitioning to a semiprivate room as part of ongoing participation in the program.
Space & Privacy
- Our community offers a limited number of apartments available through Family Care. These apartments support individuals who qualify for financial assistance, such as Medicaid, and ensure they experience the same personalized care, home-style dining, and enriching lifestyle as every resident at Parkview Gardens.
Personalized Living
- Family Care apartments are fully integrated within the community, with no distinction in services, activities, support, or amenities. Families can feel confident knowing their loved one remains included and valued in every aspect of daily life.
Community Lifestyle
- Family Care also offers flexibility for those who begin with private funds and later transition to financial support. This continuity helps ease the strain of financial change, providing stability and reassurance as care needs evolve.
Choices for Comfort
Semi-private apartments are often the primary option available through Family Care, providing a comfortable and supported living arrangement where connection and daily care remain at the heart of the experience.
For families who wish for more privacy or additional space, our Premium Program offers a voluntary path to a private or larger apartment while still participating in Family Care. This option allows families to cover the difference in cost, creating a more personalized living environment that reflects their loved one’s preferences.
Premium apartments are offered based on availability and may not always be an option, so we encourage families to reach out early to explore what’s available.
Connect with your local Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) to get started.
The Heart of the Program
Every resident in Family Care receives:
- Compassionate care tailored to their needs
- Home-style meals served daily
- A full calendar of life-enriching activities
- The security of 24-hour support
Shared apartments are available for those looking for a more affordable option. These arrangements involve sharing a living space with another resident, which can help reduce monthly costs. For some, it also offers the comfort of daily companionship and a natural sense of connection.
