What Personalized Care Looks Like at Village at the Falls Senior Living
Personalized care at Village at the Falls means shaping daily life around each resident's preferences. Our independent living community does not provide personal care, but it does offer services that residents can personalize according to their needs, such as housekeeping and daily activities. Our ten fantastic independent living floor plans can be personalized with your own furniture and keepsakes, to make it feel like home from day one.
In 2023, 19.1% of Wisconsin's residents were aged 65 or older. The boomer generation is now looking for housing that provides daily living support and senior wellness activities, but still prioritizes privacy and autonomy. Our community in Wisconsin's largest village, beautiful Menomonee Falls, with its local events, parks, and amenities, is the perfect spot to spend a fulfilling retirement.
What Is Meant by Personalized Care?
The definition really depends on the setting. In medical and senior living contexts, personalized care can refer to a clinical or care plan that focuses on the needs of an individual. However, as the seniors living at Village at the Falls are independent, in our context, personalized care means a range of services that provide resident support with a focus on autonomy.
Supportive Services that Simplify Daily Life
Did you know that according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person spends 2 hours a day on household chores? As we get older, most of us are not getting any faster. That can soon add up to several hours, and the toll they take on our health and happiness can soon become apparent.
No one ever said they were looking forward to retirement to spend more time cleaning. You should be spending your golden years exploring new hobbies, visiting interesting areas, and socializing with people you love. That's what independent living allows you to do.
At Village at the Falls, daily living support includes:
- Housekeeping
- Home and grounds maintenance
- In-house dining
- Transportation services
These services give you more time to enjoy the fun activities we offer.

- Choice in daily routines

What If I Need Personal Care in Independent Living?
Your independent living apartment is your home. If you start to need the assistance of caregivers, we believe you should be able to receive tailored care in your own home.
While Village on the Falls does not arrange personal care services for seniors, we do connect our residents with third-party providers. Residents can make their own arrangements to receive personal care in the comfort and security of their own home in our community.
Flexible living plans allow residents to continue to enjoy their Village at the Falls home while receiving some or all of the following services:
- Personalized home health
- Onsite therapies
- Non-medical home care
- Hospice care
- Visiting therapists and podiatrists
These arrangements are ideal for couples who have different needs. Both can continue to live an independent lifestyle in WI in the comfort and dignity of their own home while receiving the services that matter to them.
What Is an Example of a Day in Personalized Care?
Your day begins in the comfort and privacy of your own home. You may receive a welfare call from the team to check you are safe and whether you need anything. Next, it's time for breakfast in your apartment or at the on-site dining room.
Mid-morning might involve a fitness class or a board game with friends. While you're having fun, the housekeeping team will be giving your apartment a once-over. Lunch at the restaurant may be followed by a shopping trip.
The day may conclude with a delicious local favorite at the restaurant, followed by a relaxing movie night. Then it's back to your own home for a relaxing night.
