The Cottages at Lake Park Senior Living & Memory Care sits in Marinette, Wisconsin, with other locations in Shawano and Oconto Falls, and it's run out of a main office in Shawano. The place opens from 8:00 in the morning 'til 5:00 in the evening on weekdays and stays closed on weekends. The staff includes a Hospice Care Consultant, a Director of Safety and Security, and an Executive Director, along with a full team of state-certified caregivers who are trained for assisted living and dementia care. This community accepts active seniors who need help with daily living, like bathing, dressing, and medicine, but also looks after folks who have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. They have a special building for memory care with 28 private suites that come with large bathrooms and calming features, while the senior living side holds 35 private suites, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all with kitchens, cable, internet, and temperature control.
The place claims to support not just the residents but their families too, offering emotional support services, hospice care, and regular visits from nurses and doctors. Residents get three meals every day, snacks, and special diets when needed, with meals cooked on-site by chefs using quality ingredients. The amenities focus on resident comfort-there's a family-friendly approach, multiple common rooms, a big dining hall with a fireplace, lounge areas, a covered porch and patios overlooking gardens and a stone waterfall by a walking trail, plenty of wildflowers and trees, and spaces to entertain guests. They even allow pets and make sure the building's accessible, with elevators and handicap-friendly design.
Residents can bring their things to make their apartments feel homey, and staff encourage decorating rooms with personal items and photos. Daily life can be pretty lively, with community activities, live entertainment, group outings, tenant clubs, spiritual services, education workshops, and health programs. There's also an exercise room, a beauty and barber shop, salon, podiatry and therapy services, and a three-season porch. Laundry and housekeeping come included, and staff help with transportation to and from appointments if needed.
Safety matters here, as there are state-of-the-art nurse call systems in each room, secured sensory access points, and round-the-clock supervised care for those at risk for wandering or confusion. Whoever chooses to live here may want peace of mind about privacy and respect, as those values guide the way the staff support residents. Management believes the key to a good home is how happy folks are-residents and staff alike-and say they've won several awards for their activities and friendly atmosphere. Several reviews mention high satisfaction, noting the helpfulness of the team and quality of planned events.
The Cottages at Lake Park offers assisted living and memory care that adapts as needs change, with up to 28 hours of services available each week (more if someone's recovering from illness). It's possible to get extra services, like in-house beauty treatments or extra therapy, for an extra cost. The community always aims to let residents keep as much independence and choice as possible, whatever physical condition or memory stage they're in, and every service-from medication management to housekeeping-has that balance in mind.
