Building On a Solid Foundation

The Milwaukee Protestant Home was founded in 1884 when a group of sixteen women met to discuss how to help Elizabeth Thomas, who was destitute and facing old age. They decided to create a home where Miss Thomas and others could live comfortably, with the security of knowing that their needs for health care, socialization and recreation would be met for the remainder of their lives.

125 years of care has been provided to hundreds of seniors who have chosen Milwaukee Protestant Home Inc., the parent corporation that includes Eastcastle Place in Milwaukee and Newcastle Place in Mequon.
