10,000 Steps is Easy at St. Camillus.
At St. Camillus, a connected campus makes it easy to stay active year-round. Walk indoors or out, or across the street to walk the zoo trails.
Beyond campus, Milwaukee is nearby, offering access to top-notch dining, cultural experiences, and world-renowned medical resources like the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin regional health network.
The Zoo Next Door.
One of the most delightful features of life at St. Camillus is a neighbor unlike any other, the Milwaukee County Zoo, located just across the street. Spanning nearly 200 acres and home to more than 3,000 animals, the zoo is one of the largest and most respected in the nation.
Want to go to the zoo? No problem, pick up a pass at the front desk. It’s included! What better way to get your steps in every day? Some residents become daily visitors.
A leisurely afternoon stroll through the zoo grounds provides a lush, park-like experience. Thoughtful accessibility features ensure everyone can enjoy the experience comfortably.
The Ukulele Group at St. Camillus.
The ukulele group at St. Camillus is less about hitting the perfect notes and more about good vibes. What began as a casual group has grown into a crowd favorite.
Even non-musicians find the ukulele easy to pick up and even easier to enjoy. With just a few chords, most residents are playing along right away. It’s gentle on the hands, lightweight, and naturally social. The sound is upbeat, the learning curve is low, and the payoff is immediate.
The St. Camillus ukulele group plays at events and brings smiles to everyone’s face. Rehearsals are easygoing, the song list is familiar, all are welcome, whether you’ve played for years or are picking one up for the first time. It’s part jam session, part social hour, and entirely about enjoying the moment.
The Pub: Your Social Hour Awaits.
Every great neighborhood has a place where everyone knows your name. At St. Camillus, it’s The Pub. Inspired by Milwaukee’s tavern culture, The Pub brings that same easy energy, right here on campus. Have a pint before dinner or meet friends for happy hour. Best of all, it’s a short walk home!
A Community That Brings Out Your Best.
As the saying goes, we are the sum of those we surround ourselves with, and here, that good influence is inspiring.
While St. Camillus is rooted in the Catholic faith, our community is open to all faiths. All are welcome. Here, you’ll find diverse backgrounds and interests, but a shared common sense of purpose. Some residents lead discussions, others create, mentor, volunteer, or simply stay curious and engaged. Whether in classes, conversations, or casual gatherings, that collective mindset creates a culture of contribution in which people encourage one another to stay active, connected, and live meaningfully.
Intergenerational Connections.
Through a unique partnership with Marquette University, students live alongside residents, creating a vibrant intergenerational environment filled with fresh energy, perspective, and meaningful relationships.
As one student shared, “Some of my best friends are residents now.” In exchange for affordable housing, students spend time each week engaging with residents, whether through shared activities, conversations, or simply being present in daily life.
The impact goes both ways. Students gain real-world experience working with older adults and greater confidence. Meanwhile, residents enjoy the companionship, curiosity, and enthusiasm of a younger generation. More than a program, it’s a dynamic exchange of wisdom, friendship, and purpose, proving that when generations come together, everyone grows.
What They Say
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 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!
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 beautiful campus with great amenities, as well as warm and welcoming residents and staff!
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!!
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.
