Saint John’s On The Lake provides 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents who need either short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay or long-term support for chronic medical conditions. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to carry out physician-directed care plans that may include complex wound treatment, IV therapy, pain management, and medication administration. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are delivered on site, allowing residents to work toward recovery goals without leaving the community.
Beyond direct nursing services, the health center maintains on-call physician coverage, regular nurse practitioner visits, and coordination with outside specialists when needed. A full-time social services team helps manage care transitions and discharge planning, while a registered dietitian reviews each resident’s nutritional profile to support disease management and weight stabilization. Electronic health records track vital signs and lab results, and an emergency call system connects residents to staff within seconds. Hospice and palliative care partnerships are available for residents who require comfort-focused support.
Accommodations include a mix of private and companion suites outfitted with barrier-free bathrooms, in-room climate controls, basic cable, and wireless internet access. Some rooms offer lake views or additional living space, while others are designed for residents who use mobility aids. Not all accommodations have all the features, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour. Small pets are allowed in certain sections of the community. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared in the community’s commercial kitchen, with menu options developed under the guidance of the dietitian to meet therapeutic and cultural preferences. Entrées are served restaurant-style in a shared dining room, and staff are available to provide feeding assistance or portion adjustments as prescribed. Pureed, mechanical-soft, and low-sodium selections are offered alongside standard fare, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. Room-service trays are arranged for residents who are ill or prefer to dine privately.
