Milwaukee Catholic Home reborn as part of new management company, Trinity Senior Services

Since 1913, the Milwaukee Catholic Home has provided care for older adults. Still thriving, the retirement community is now part of a new management company known as Trinity Senior Services.

Trinity Senior Services oversees:

• Milwaukee Catholic Home, which provides a continuum of services, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation;
• Trinity Woods, which provides care to older adults and retired School Sisters of Notre Dame;
• Clare Gardens, a sustainable farm operated in partnership with Catholic Ecology Center, which provides produce for Milwaukee Catholic Home, Trinity Woods and other senior living communities;
• Our Lady of the Angels Covenant, a 48-unit religious community in Greenfield, WI;
• Queen of Peace Friary; a Burlington, WI, senior housing community that is home to the retired Franciscan Friars of the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe; and
• Trinity Senior Services Care Partner Program, which provides home- and community-based services.

Both Milwaukee Catholic Home and Trinity Woods have on-site day care that collectively serves 170 children.

“The launch of Trinity Senior Services is the continuation of an amazing history that reaches back more than a century in Milwaukee,” Trinity Senior Services CEO Dave Fulcher stated in a press release. “The community of care we’ve nurtured for generations continues only to grow and our team is inspired by the opportunities ahead.”

The Trinity Senior Services network is best known for the Milwaukee Catholic Home and Trinity Woods, according to the company, which added that “the Trinity Senior Services network is unlike any nationwide.”

“Its intergenerational impact reaches from the more than 800 older adults at one of its four senior communities to its 500-plus employees to the nearly 200 children attending day care located at its communities,” according to the company. “All services are now united under one management company and brand.”

Trinity Senior Services also offers a holistic program, A Life Engaged, that includes social, physical, nutritional, spiritual and cognitive components. 

“Our philosophy, Life Engaged, means that we serve seniors by empowering them to live a full life,” Fulcher said. “We believe a full life happens in community, where a sense of purpose and belonging to something bigger than self gives meaning and creates opportunities for health, wellness, learning, joy and hope. 

According to Trinity Senior Services, America’s aging population makes this the perfect time to establish the new organization, as more than 70 million baby boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, will be aged 65 or more years by 2030.

“We’re growing this community with intention so everyone involved feels a sense of purpose and feels they are a part of something larger than themselves,” Fulcher said. “Whether they’re a resident, a loved one, a team member or anybody else impacted by our services, we are here to help them to lead meaningful lives.”
