Shorehaven

Since 1939, Shorehaven has served as a trusted, faith-based resource for seniors. Trust Shorehaven’s reputation for excellence and leadership.

Offering a full continuum of care on the shores of Lac La Belle, the not for profit senior living headquarters delivers five star care in the City of Lakes. When you’re part of the Shorehaven family, you know “Trusted for Generations” is not a phrase used lightly. You’ll see it in staff, many of whom have been with us for 25-30 years. You’ll see it in our participation in the Wisconsin governor’s

blue-ribbon committee on assisted living. It’s evident in our community surveys in which local residents rate us high for reputation and excellence. Shorehaven lives it every day through our volunteers and involvement in local civic events that help the community thrive.

A generous anonymous gift is helping Shorehaven residents and community members keep moving, stay strong, and support their wellness journey. Shorehaven is excited to share the gift of an anonymous donation: an assistive recumbent bike and arm ergometer designed to move both the arms and legs, helping individuals enjoy safe and effective exercise.

Due to the provided assistance, a Theracycle allows you to ride for a longer period and maintain a higher speed, which increases your heart rate and is shown to reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s, MS , and other neurological conditions. This past week, the bike was introduced to the Center for Life Enrichment's monthly Parkinson’s support group, where members had the opportunity to explore its benefits.

Pictured is Katie R. from Shorehaven’s Life@Home team, giving the bike a test ride to ensure it is safe, comfortable, and easy to use for everyone. We are deeply grateful for this thoughtful gift that will support wellness, mobility, and quality of life for so many.

Founders’ Gallery Presents Artist Mary Weber
Meet the artist tomorrow, Sunday, April 12 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for a cake reception at 1306 W. Wis. Ave.

Local artist Mary Weber loves two things, travel and art. "These travels afforded me the experience of seeing the world through the lens of art and my mediums of art seemed to be endless. I enjoyed painting the world as I saw it, finding the intricacies of indigenous trees, insects and flowers from those rare locations."

She has learned how to fuse glass, and you can find her painted creations on rain barrels and outdoor furniture, adding a touch to the common things of life.

Art will be displayed through May 31. Work is for sale and a portion of the proceeds benefits Life Enrichment programming.

47 years of her life Shorehaven’s Kathie F. dedicated to serving seniors. And she truly can’t think of a greater cause to dedicate her life to.

Kathie started in 1978 at the old Shorehaven building. She served as a Certified Nursing Assistant, a supervisor, a care coordinator and as assistant director of nursing for the last eight years. “I’ve seen everything,” said the veteran nurse. “From enhanced regulations, care techniques, state surveying standards, the Pandemic and its impacts on long-term care, I’ve seen so many changes. But our commitment to our residents always remained.”

“I could not imagine working anywhere else,” said Kathie. “This has become my home away from home. You grow into an extended family with the residents and their loved ones, and you form a strong bond with the colleagues you serve alongside.”

Kathie credited Shorehaven’s reputation as the motivating factor in achieving the 47-year milestone. “It’s an amazing job, and an amazing opportunity for any nurse in long-term care. I’ve always enjoyed it and am proud of the difference I made in people’s lives. It’s hard work, but one of the most rewarding careers you can have.”

She bid farewell to staff and residents recently, only to return to assist in the transition role. “I thank Shorehaven every day for the experience I had, and for everything I learned.”
