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.
