Why is this number different on other websites? Many directories quote a community's "starting at" rent, before care fees. This figure is the state survey median adjusted by wages in the surrounding metro area, so nearby cities in the same metro share it. It is an estimate to plan against, not a quote; ask each provider for its own number in writing. Our methodology →

Under $2,500/mo

Adult day, family care, or affordable senior housing

Adult day care in Pewaukee runs about $1,532/mo at the median. Income-restricted affordable senior housing (HUD 202, USDA 515, LIHTC, state HFA) is often the real under-$2,500 path when eligibility fits. Check local listings and income caps with the property.

Every licensed assisted living community: 17

A note on counting: we show 17 licensed assisted living communities listed for Pewaukee proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.

How we rank these: we don't. Listed by verification date, newest first.

Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.

Most listings publish no price. The Pewaukee assisted living median is $6,603/mo, an estimate; ask each community for its own number in writing.
