Lakeshore has a rich history of caring for
seniors, and now the campus is changing to ensure a rich future.
Not willing to live in a highly-regulated nursing home environment,
seniors want the ability to tailor the level of services based
on their needs as they age.
That is why Lakeshore is changing its campus to
reflect the changing wishes of seniors. After several years of
planning, the Lakeshore Board of Directors approved the following
design. Not only does the design provide excellent living options
for seniors, it also offers incredible views of Lake Superior.

1 Independent Living Building
(Opening in 2007)
This building will provide 100 upscale independent living apartments,
including 32 one-bedroom apartments and 68 two-bedroom apartments,
all with a view of the lake. It is designed for people who are
independent and want the benefits of apartment living. Parking
will be available in an underground garage. Home care services
will be available, when needed.
2 Assisted Living Apartments
(Opened in Fall 2006)
This building includes 60 assisted living apartments. Twenty
are dedicated to Memory Care residents. Of the other 40 apartments,
34 are one-bedroom and six have two bedrooms. The assisted
living building is designed for those who need close supervision
but are still able to provide some care for themselves. Both assisted
and independent living apartments have complete kitchens
and bathrooms.
3 Short-Stay and Rehabilitation Center
The building offers 60 private rooms designed for people
who need short-term nursing care to recover from an accident,
surgery or illness. Each room has a private bathroom and
shower.
4 Cascade Plaza
This building serves as the main entrance for the campus.
It includes a chapel, therapy services, dining room
for independent and assisted living residents, and a community
room. This room is also available for outside groups to meet.
The goal is to make this a popular meeting place for Lakeside
and Lester Park residents and their organizations.
