It currently houses 121 occupants and offers comprehensive medical and rehabilitative support services, including 24-hour nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and memory care.

The facility makes use of both permanent and agency nursing staff to meet its care obligations. Review feedback from families and residents is mixed; some express appreciation for attentive, compassionate care, positive staff interactions, and the overall environment. Others, however, cite concerns about understaffing, inadequate RN coverage, inconsistent care practices, lapses in clinical technique, neglect of resident hygiene, and unsatisfactory wound management. Past regulatory visits have resulted in citations related to health and safety, and there have been no broadly publicized improvements or expansions in recent years. Staff feedback is similarly divided, with reports ranging from supportive teamwork to references to workplace hostility and management challenges. Overall, Bridges Of Milwaukee offers a wide range of post-acute and long-term care services, while resident and family experiences indicate inconsistency in delivery and oversight of care.
