A Walkable, Village Lifestyle.
At St. Camillus, everything connects, creating a true village where daily life feels easy, social, and close at hand. The campus is thoughtfully designed so you can move effortlessly from one part of your day to the next.
And while life here centers on living well, there’s peace of mind in knowing support is always nearby if you need it. With a full continuum of care and an on-campus clinic, everyday needs stay simple and seamless. Centrally located in Wauwatosa, residents are just minutes from leading hospitals, medical offices, and shopping throughout the surrounding community.
Anything but Ordinary.
Just across the street, you’ll find the Milwaukee County Zoo. Spanning nearly 200 acres and home to more than 3,000 animals, it’s one of the largest zoos in the country. Get your steps in, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with neighbors with real animal magnetism.
Living Options at St. Camillus.
Live in a community you love, with support that adapts as your needs evolve. And with more choices than anywhere else.
Independent Living
Live fully and freely, with everything you need close by and nothing holding you back.
Independent living at St. Camillus is centered around two distinctive residences that together create one connected, welcoming neighborhood. The West Residence and the East Residence rise side by side on campus, offering distinct living environments while sharing a vibrant sense of community.
The Non-Profit Difference.
Yes, we’re a nonprofit. But around here, we like to think of ourselves as a community benefit organization, which is a place where people show up for each other in very meaningful ways.
That might look like providing affordable housing for Marquette students right here on campus in exchange for volunteer time. Or residents sewing and donating clothing for people who need it most. Or neighbors stepping in to support one another when life takes an unexpected turn. It’s just our mindset and comes naturally.
But what makes this place different is how naturally people lean in. They give their time. Their talent. Their energy. Doing good for others is just a part of our culture.

What They Say
For four years now, I’ve had a high appreciation for staff and facilities. My parents moved to independent living in the summer of 2018. Then my mother, with Alzheimer’s, needed to move to memory care in the summer of 2019. After unavoidable and sad isolation due to COVID and time in skilled nursing, she died in late 2020. My dad continues to live independently and greatly appreciates friendly staff, excellent food, exercise and PT options, and so much more.
Since the day I moved into St. Camillus I have felt safe and secure. The staff go out of their way to help us, and they include us in many of the decisions that pertain to the well-being of all the Residents. Our new Memory Care unit is beautiful, eye-appealing, and provides a safe and healthy atmosphere for the residents. I have found many opportunities to volunteer in different areas of the campus, both in the St. Camillus apartments and in other areas on campus. On one occasion, I commented to Dean, one of the employees, that everyone was so nice to us, and he commented, “I think of each resident as my grandparent”. That says it all!!
My mom has been at St. Camillus for over 2 years. She has been treated with the utmost care and respect. I would not think of having her anywhere else. Thank you to all who work so hard at providing such excellent care. We see you!
St. Camillus is a great place to live! I am grateful every day that I am here in a community with many wonderful people. We keep finding connections with each other and enjoying all the opportunities we have to socialize and exercise. We are able to get a lot of steps each day without going outside in bad weather. And getting to Mass often is so convenient. First, we say we’re not quite ready to move, and then when here, say… we should have come sooner.
My grandmother was in the rehab facility and eventually was moved to hospice. The nurses were exceptionally kind and treated her with so much respect. They brought so much joy to my day every time I saw them in passing. The staff was attentive and catered to her needs- even getting her chocolate ice cream every night!
St. Camillus is a beautiful campus with great amenities, as well as warm and welcoming residents and staff!
St. Camillus is a wonderful life plan community offering retirement living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home health services, and hospice. It is able to offer my family everything that my loved one needs in these final golden years! The staff is extremely helpful, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond to accommodate. I love St. Camillus!
