Affordable Living with Guidance

Care Within Reach
Understanding Medicaid in Wisconsin
Wisconsin Medicaid programs such as Family Care, Family Care Partnership, and IRIS may help cover care services provided in assisted living communities like Cardinal Lane. These programs support seniors who need help with daily activities while allowing them to maintain independence.
While Medicaid does not cover room and board, it can significantly reduce the cost of care services. For many families, this makes living more attainable, while also providing access to a community that offers multiple levels of support if needs change.
