Long term acute care

Hospital-level care for the patients who need more time.

Patients arrive from intensive care units across Wisconsin still requiring ventilator support, dialysis, IV antibiotics, or complex wound management. Lakeview provides that care under daily physician direction, with respiratory, pharmacy, and rehabilitation teams in the building.

Average stays are measured in weeks rather than days, so the plan of care is built for weaning, healing, and functional gains — not discharge pressure.

About our LTACH

Inpatient rehabilitation

A 30-bed rehabilitation hospital built for intensive recovery.

Stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, neurological disease, and medically complex orthopedic patients receive intensive daily therapy from a rehabilitation physician-led team.

Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are coordinated with nursing, case management, and family training from day one — so goals are functional and discharge is planned, not improvised.

About our rehab hospital

On-site dialysis, IV therapy, and daily physician oversight for patients who are too complex for SNF care.

Community supportive living

Community based residential

Life after the hospital, still supported.

Our CBRF homes in Waterford and at Mill Pond in Westfield support adults living with cognitive, neurological, and behavioral challenges. What makes them different is the family-style atmosphere: shared meals, community involvement, and staff who know each resident.
