Active Deal Flow Across Wisconsin
Haven sources senior housing transactions in every major Wisconsin market — from small assisted living homes to large community campuses.
Understanding Wisconsin's Senior Housing Licensing Framework
Wisconsin has a dual licensing system: Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRFs) provide higher-level care; Residential Care Apartment Complexes (RCACs) provide personal care. Both are licensed through DHS. The COO process typically takes 60–90 days. Haven guides buyers through Wisconsin's licensing structure.
Haven's advisory team guides buyers and sellers through every stage of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) change-of-ownership process, ensuring no surprises derail your transaction timeline.
