Questions Worth Asking About Senior Living

Choosing assisted living, memory care, or respite care is a big decision. Here are answers to the most common questions.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living provides housing combined with personal care services for adults who need some support with daily activities. This typically includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication management, as well as meals, housekeeping, and access to team members around the clock.

Can couples live together in assisted living?

Many assisted living communities welcome couples, even when each partner has different care needs. Each person receives an individual care plan while continuing to share their living space.

What does assisted living pricing typically include?

According to the 2025 CareScout survey, the average cost of assisted living in Wisconsin is $6,540 per month, with costs outside major metropolitan areas typically running lower. Base pricing generally covers meals, housekeeping, laundry, utilities, and activities. Personal care services are often priced separately based on individual need. Ask each community for a full breakdown during your visit.

What makes memory care different from assisted living?

Memory care is a specialized level of care for those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It includes team members with dementia-specific training, secured areas to reduce the risk of wandering, structured daily routines, and programming adapted to cognitive abilities.

What stages of dementia does memory care support?

Most memory care programs support residents from early to advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and related dementia, with care approaches that adjust as needs change over time.

Can family members visit memory care residents?

Yes, and it’s encouraged. Regular contact with loved ones is an important part of life in memory care.

What is respite care?

Respite care is a short-term stay in a senior living community, often used when a family caregiver needs time away or when someone needs additional support during a recovery period. Others use this service as a trial run in senior living. Most communities have a minimum stay requirement, so it’s worth asking about details in advance.
