Villa St. Francis

Villa St. Francis, at 1910 W Ohio Avenue in Milwaukee, WI, is a welcoming assisted living and memory care community founded by the Felician Sisters in 1990. Situated in a cozy neighborhood just across from St. Francis Hospital, this home‑like residence serves more than 100 residents needing varying levels of assistance. Personalized care plans developed with nursing staff and families support those who value independence or need help with daily routines, with ongoing adjustments as needs evolve. Residents enjoy a range of amenities and services that enhance everyday life. The community includes a beauty/barber salon onsite, gardens and patios for outdoor relaxation, guest parking, and resident transportation for medical appointments and excursions by van with lift. Housekeeping and linen laundry services as well as individual clothing laundry are provided, and dining takes place in a shared dining room with restaurant‑style service; light meals are also available as needed. Activities abound, with music events, games, arts and crafts, book clubs, gardening groups, offsite outings, happy hour, cooking classes, socials, active games, and Catholic worship services. What makes Villa St. Francis special is its faith‑based, compassionate culture rooted in Catholic traditions, centered on dignity and spiritual care. A skilled staff—including part‑time nurses, a social worker, and memory‑care specialists—ensures a secure, alarm‑gated setting with family communication and support. Nearby attractions such as CVS and Walgreens pharmacies, local parks like Humboldt and South Shore, coffee shops, restaurants, and easy access to hospitals and local shopping add convenience and social opportunity for residents.
