Ascension Living – Lakeshore at Siena provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming that accepts residents who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, or remain awake overnight. The team manages complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet preparation, and diabetic care whether oral, injection, or sliding-scale insulin is required. Residents living with moderate dementia receive structured support, and the community is open to adults under 60 when clinically appropriate. On-site podiatry and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses help reduce the need for outside appointments and allow continuity of care.
Around-the-clock nurses, supported by RNs and LPNs, conduct regular rounds, respond to pull-cord alerts, and monitor door alarms and wander-guard systems. All staff members pass background checks, and an awake night shift provides continuous supervision. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the care team can accommodate transfers ranging from standby help with a walker to one-person assists, wheelchair support, or use of a Hoyer lift. An activity director tailors daily engagement to each resident’s cognitive and physical abilities.
Accommodations include studios or suites that may feature a private bathroom, furnished setups, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the room. Not every unit has each of these elements, so families should verify availability when touring.
Dining follows a set menu with snacks offered between meals, and the culinary staff modifies textures, portions, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets or resident preferences. Diabetic meal management, low-sodium options, and other special diets are routinely provided without requiring outside vendors.
Residents have access to on-site religious services, a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, internet connectivity, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and designated parking. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, keeping residents connected to the broader Racine community.
