Lakeshore Rehabilitation Center sits on Loon Lake in Waseca, MN, and provides care across assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation. The building has 52 certified beds and is part of Monarch Healthcare Management. Marc Halpert has managed this center since July 2022, and the place sees a nurse turnover rate of 45.9%, higher than the Minnesota average, with staff nurses providing about 3.54 hours per resident each day, which falls below the state's average of 4.2 hours. Records show it's had documented deficiencies with nutrition and dietary support, issues involving residents' rights, overall quality of care and life, and has had at least one infection control concern listed in recent inspection reports.
The team here includes nurses and therapists skilled in both long-term and short-term needs, with specialized programs like the "Lakeshore Recovery Program" supporting therapy after surgery, stroke, or injury, plus neurological therapy, occupational, physical, and speech therapies, all using individualized treatment plans and new rehabilitation tools in therapy gyms and private rooms. Memory care, assisted living, and traditional long-term nursing each have spaces in the facility, and there's a Nursing Assistant in Training Program to help with staff needs. Residents can use amenities like private rooms, secured areas for those needing memory care, laundry, parking, and recreational areas. The outdoors includes a courtyard and patio by the lake.
Everyday life here covers all kinds of needs-spiritual, physical, emotional, cognitive, and social-with help coming through activities like spiritual services, animal therapy, social events, and physical activities planned by a Therapeutic Recreation team. There's a set pets policy, which people need to call to learn more about, and staff say they focus on respect and compassion. The approach aims to blend care quality with customer service and wants people to feel part of a kind community while recovering or living long-term. Lakeshore Rehabilitation Center is set up to serve a variety of residents, tenants, and families, meeting care needs for everything from simple recovery to ongoing assistance, and is one of several locations Monarch Healthcare runs in Minnesota.
