10 Best Independent Living Communities in Madison, WI

Answer a few questions to get personalized results
Who are you searching for?

There aren’t many better places than the Badger State to spend your golden years — and its capital city of Madison, Wisconsin, might be a particularly great option when it comes to settling down later in life. With gorgeous lakefront views, a bright and social atmosphere, and no shortage of engaging cultural activities, this midsize city is an undoubtedly attractive option for seniors of all stripes.

Madison is the 22nd-best major city to retire in and the fifth-best city for seniors’ quality of life. Independent living in Madison is for lively seniors who are usually healthy and active but seek convenience and opportunities to socialize. In contrast with assisted living, independent living residents don’t receive help with activities of daily living. The style of residents’ living quarters will depend on the facilities and floor plans they choose, and they may have access to amenities and services on-site such as salons, physicians, and community lounges.

A Place for Mom partners with eight independent living communities within a 10-mile radius of downtown Madison. In this guide, we’ll cover information on independent living facilities, financing options, residential laws and regulations, care types, and more to help simplify your housing search.

How do we rank Madison’s independent living communities?

Our goal is to help you find high-quality independent living facilities that fit your needs. Using our 20+ years of experience in senior living, we developed a proprietary rating system based on the following:

  • Recent, high-quality reviews. We take into account reviews from the past two years. Then, we look for independent living options that people prefer. Communities that have mostly positive ratings in the past two years are prioritized over facilities that have low or no reviews in the past two years. Reviews also help us understand what matters most to families like yours and how you rate communities based on subcategories like meals and dining, staff, and cleanliness.
  • Facility transparency. Communities that have robust information are prioritized over facilities that don’t offer the same level of transparency.
  • Location. Independent living options vary based on proximity to your desired location.

How people pay for independent living in Madison

Residents looking for a Madison-based independent living experience have a variety of options to help finance their stay. Tenants can pay using private options, Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, or public resources.

In this section, we’ll cover different private and public payment options and will detail the types of in-home care that could be covered for independent living residents under Medicaid and Medicare.

Private pay methods in Madison

Potential independent living residents are welcome to pay their fees using private funding.

Long-term care insurance will not pay residents’ independent living costs given that they’re not senior care facilities and don’t include care fees within their monthly costs. Instead, tenants can tap into their personal savings, leverage Social Security benefits, cash out their pensions, or use investment returns to secure their spot in an independent living community.

Besides this, the following options are also available for residents trying to finance their own independent living stays in Madison:

VA benefits for independent living in Madison
9686

Approximately 9,689 veterans live in Madison as of 2021.

Roughly 50% of Madison veterans are 65 or older as of 2021.

If you’re a veteran seeking independent living options in Madison, there are a variety of specialized financial options to consider that could help you fund independent living.

Aid and Attendance benefit

First, any veteran applying for placement in an independent living community partnered with A Place for Mom should look into the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Aid and Attendance benefit. This benefit is especially generous, and it can increase funds to a veteran’s Pension that could help pay for in-home health care services that improve their quality of life.[04]

Resources for veterans in Wisconsin

Wisconsin offers the following state-specific benefits and resources veterans can take advantage of:

Assistance from local experts

Given their complexity, these benefits can sometimes be difficult to navigate. The following resources in Madison can be helpful:

  • Veterans services offices can provide a helpful hand for veterans looking into both VA and local resources to fund their independent living stays. Appointments at the Dane County Veterans Service Office are recommended. Wednesdays are held for walk-in appointments.
  • The Veterans of Foreign Wars office offers claims and assistance programs and opportunities to apply for unmet needs.
  • The Severson-Cairns American Legion Post in Madison can provide direction and additional assistance depending on their programs and offerings.

No matter whether you think you’ll qualify for benefits, be sure to contact vetted and VA-recognized VSOs before applying for independent living in Madison.

Understand Madison laws and regulations for independent living communities

Independent living facilities in Wisconsin do not have licensing or inspection requirements. However, seniors with a disability are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This act also allows for the exception of a service animal in independent living apartments that don’t accept pets.

Additionally, independent living communities that also provide more dedicated in-house care are typically overseen by Wisconsin’s Division of Quality Assurance. To see surveys performed on senior care facilities by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, you can use this portal.

Within Madison, A Place for Mom partners with two combination assisted living and independent living facilities and four more facilities that provide assisted living, independent living and memory care.
