Caring Assisted Living with a Difference

Since 1976, when we introduced our first Senior Campus, Wimmer Senior Communities has been a pioneer in serving older adults’ unique housing, health, dietary, social and housekeeping needs through development of social and medical retirement communities. Our goal has consistently been to help our residents remain in the comfort of a residential community by providing the right balance of comfort and encouragement, safety and quality support services. At Forest Ridge, we continue that pioneering spirit with the focus on affordability and resident choice—all within our spacious one and two bedroom apartments.

With Forest Ridge's Assisted Care , there’s no need to move from your residential apartment home with your own bedrooms, bath and kitchen. We understand the importance of the familiarity of a home surrounded with furnishings you’ve collected over a lifetime. That’s why we’ve committed to bring our services to you in large one and two bedroom apartments. And at your doorstep is a wonderful community of friends, activities and trips to fill your daily calendar. Luxurious campus amenities include the three-story atrium of the Ridge Club, Chapel, Fitness Center, convenience store, banking services and beauty shop on our 11-acre campus just outside Whitnall Park in the Village of Hales Corners.

Care coordination is the key. Our Health Services Professionals link arms with our residents, families and physicians in a united commitment to meet the challenge of aging with a smile, a hug and supportive service plan tailored to each resident’s unique needs. Residents and family designate only the services they need from an extensive menu of professional and personal care delivered by our caring health staff who visit with our residents throughout the day.

Finally, affordable health services that allow you to pay for what you need. Assisted Living apartment homes are truly the best option for seniors; however, until now, it was cost-prohibitive to many. Based on our years of experience, we’ve designed a balanced, responsible care program which is extremely cost-conscious and efficiently delivered. Forest Ridge’s Assisted Care Program is surprisingly affordable because you only pay for your private residence and those services that you need.
