Shorehaven

Shorehaven sits on 23 acres along the shores of Lac La Belle in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, and offers senior living options across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care, all within a peaceful campus with views of the lake. Residents can choose from furnished rooms or apartments, with utilities included, weekly housekeeping, and two meals a day in some living options like Shorehaven Tower, which feels home-like and welcoming, and provides cable TV, WiFi, and emergency pendants for extra safety. The skilled nursing facility holds 88 beds, takes Medicare and Medicaid, and gives specialized care for more complex health needs, including round-the-clock supervision, medication help, and hospice care, as well as private or semiprivate rooms, and regular rehabilitation therapies for recovery or chronic conditions.

Shorehaven helps residents with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, with a 24-hour call system always available for emergencies, and offers memory care in a secured area with its own activity rooms, a den for private gatherings, and an enclosed walking path, especially made for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, focusing on personalized care routines that fit each person's needs and choices. There are also assisted living programs, including Hillside Terrace, which has up to 26 rooms and another smaller 14-bed residential area, both with support for daily living but not requiring heavy medical services, and the campus also offers independent living at Shorehaven Tower, where active seniors enjoy maintenance-free living with their own schedules, social activities, and community-sponsored programs that include arts and crafts, walking paths, lifelong learning in classrooms, and devotional activities offsite.

Food and social life come together at places like Café LaBelle and the community center, with shared spaces like dining rooms, family rooms, and a library, plus a boutique, fitness and strength center, and an arts room, where different activities and classes are held as part of the Center for Life Enrichment. There's also a health and rehabilitation center, a salon, and a country store for everyday needs, as well as non-medical home support services through Life@Home for seniors who want help but still wish to live at home. The staff at Shorehaven believe in person-centered care, which means residents get to make choices about their routines, meals, and activities, and care services are offered as needed, sometimes on an a la carte basis if someone lives in Shorehaven Tower.

Safety is important, especially in memory care, with secured entry and enclosed outdoor spaces, and emergency call pendants offered in certain areas like Hillside Terrace. The grounds don't have listed outdoor amenities, garages, or parking details, but do offer places for walking and sitting outside, and there are no stated policies about what's included in the rent. Shorehaven operates under a faith-based mission, reflecting Christ's love by providing care and resources for seniors of all backgrounds, and Wisconsin state law protects residents from discrimination based on their income source, though federal law doesn't cover orientation or gender identity at this property. The setting stays welcoming and supportive, with friendly staff, many social and wellness programs, and a community feel that aims to help seniors live as independently as possible, whether they need a little help or full-time skilled nursing care.
