About Lakeview
Thirty years of caring for the patients other facilities decline
Lakeview Specialty Hospital and Rehab is a Joint Commission accredited, licensed long term acute care hospital and inpatient rehabilitation hospital with expertise in medically complex care, neurobehavioral health, rehabilitation, and community supportive living.
Our campus
Eighty acres outside Milwaukee, on purpose.
Lakeview sits on more than 80 acres in a rural community in Waterford, Wisconsin, a short drive from Milwaukee. The setting is not decoration. For patients emerging from critical illness or brain injury, quiet, daylight, and open space are part of the recovery environment.
Our peaceful grounds, coupled with tenured, talented, and caring staff, lend to the healing and recovery process. Many of our clinicians have been here for decades — continuity that patients and families feel.
Our mission
Lakeview's integrated continuum of care facilitates the full realization of human potential through quality, state-of-the-art services.
Our mission is to help those we serve and with whom we work realize their full human potential in a safe and respectful environment. We provide effective programming for people facing significant physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges. As a community partner, we are dedicated to quality, person-centered care and treatment of the individuals we support.
