Lake Oaks Apartments sits across from Lake Michigan on the southeast side of Racine, Wisconsin, offering one- and two-bedroom apartment homes for people 55 and older. The place has well-kept grounds, lots of green space, and some apartments show off panoramic views of the lake, which is a nice touch for anyone who likes to sit by the window. They let cats and dogs live there, which isn't as common as you'd think, and some units have in-unit laundry, walk-in showers, dishwashers, walk-in closets, extra storage, open kitchens with lots of cabinet space, and garbage disposals. A few apartments are also fully accessible for people who need that, and you'll find heated underground parking, covered lots, and even garage parking, with easy access for both cars and buses like the Racine Transit routes and nearby WI-32, so seeing family or getting to places is simpler.
There's an indoor pool, a gym, a clubhouse, a stylish 50's café, a media room, and a library, plus there's a general store on-site along with a beauty and barber salon, a dining room, and places for events and gatherings, so people can meet neighbors and stay busy without leaving home. Residents can gather in the barbecue and picnic area, or use the community garden if they like to grow things. There are online portals for paying rent and making requests, and 24-hour maintenance in case anything goes wrong. Security stays tight with a 24-hour security system and on-site management.
Lake Oaks accepts Medicaid and offers different kinds of care depending on what someone needs, ranging from independent living for those who want to do things on their own, to assisted living, memory care for people dealing with memory issues, and short-term respite care if someone needs a break or temporary help. They have home care services for folks who want to stay in their apartments but need some assistance.
Events happen regularly for residents, and with landscaped grounds and views of Lake Michigan, the surroundings feel open and pleasant. The Gene B. Glick Company, which owns and manages the place, has managed properties a long time, more than 70 years. While some details like exact activities or staff numbers haven't been specified, Lake Oaks Apartments focuses on being an affordable, comfortable choice for seniors with a range of amenities and services to fit different needs.
