Kurt has worked at Shady Lane for one year in Housekeeping. Here’s what he has to say about working at Shady Lane:

One of my favorite things about working at Shady Lane is that as you get to know the residents, they kind of become like your extended family. And at the end of the day, there’s no feeling in the world better than knowing that you made someone smile and that you made their day better. Making a difference is what it’s all about.

Meet our Shady Lane team member - Tara!

“I enjoy working for Shady Lane as the Director of Environmental Services because I feel valued, supported, and trusted to make a real difference. This organization doesn’t just focus on outcomes—it invests in people. I’m encouraged to bring ideas forward, solve challenges creatively, and grow both as a leader and a professional. Knowing that I’m part of a team that respects the work we do and recognizes the importance of a clean, safe environment makes my role meaningful.

What truly inspires me is the strong sense of teamwork and shared purpose. Everyone—from leadership to front-line staff—works toward the same goal of providing a positive, safe experience for patients, residents, and visitors. I get to lead a department that plays a vital role in that mission, and I take pride in guiding my team, supporting their development, and watching them succeed.

This company gives me the opportunity to make an impact every day. I see the difference we make in the quality of care, in the atmosphere of our facility, and in the pride my team feels in their work. I’m grateful to work for an organization that recognizes environmental services as essential—one that encourages compassion, accountability, and excellence. It feels good to know that my contributions matter here, and that together we’re building a clean, safe environment where people can heal, work, and feel cared for."

The Shady Lane Story

Since 1951, Shady Lane has excelled at providing the highest level of care to the residents of the Manitowoc community. We reserve our accommodations primarily for the residents of Manitowoc County because that’s what we do- take care of the needs of this community first. We make every effort to meet the physical, spiritual, and social needs of all our residents. Over the years, our reputation for the utmost quality care available has been based on our committed, well-trained staff that provides care twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

It all began in 1950 when a group of community leaders saw a need for a not-for-profit senior living facility based on sound principles and values. That philosophy continues today with our board of local visionary leaders who oversee our operations. Offering excellent care and a variety of affordable senior living accommodations is the primary guiding principle in every decision.

During the first 50 years, Shady Lane provided both intermediate and skilled nursing services. Since then, more assisted living units were added to the campus through renovations and new construction. Our newest addition to the campus broke ground in 2016 which included a 36-unit building, half devoted to assisted living, and half devoted to a rehabilitation unit.

Shady Lane has the advantage of being Manitowoc’s only private citizen-directed, not-for-profit senior living facility. Our fifteen-member volunteer board believes that our community deserves a well-managed, affordable senior living facility, not funded by tax dollars, not directed by stockholders, but through good management and community support. Being not-for-profit affects the quality of care with any profits going right back into the facility, making it a better place and a better value. We strive to offer excellent care, a variety of prices, and affordable senior living accommodations.
