LCS Racine

LCS Racine LCS provides training and community engagement for youth and adults of varying abilities... The organization was created in a partnership between Mrs. John H.

LCS began its existence as Curative Workshop of Racine in 1949 and was located on Northwestern Avenue. (Katie) Batten and the Junior League of Racine. LCS began providing outpatient therapeutic service in 1951 by offering occupational, physical, and speech therapy services to the Racine community. Through the years, LCS evolved into providing a variety of other vocational service options to the Racine and outlying communities. The Therapeutic Services Division was transferred to All Saints Medical Center in 1995. When LCS moved into its current location on Lincolnwood Court, the organization's name changed to Lakeside Curative Services. While Lakeside Curative Services is still the agency's full legal name, since 2015, its initials - LCS - have been used to brand the organization. Today, LCS offers individuals with disabilities community-focused employment and community-centered engagement opportunities. LCS believes that "potential is limitless," and through the services that it offers, promotes equal opportunities in the community for all the people it serves.

New Year, New Beginnings at LCS

With the New Year comes new beginnings and transitions at LCS, and we want to share an important update with our community.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to gradually phase out our prevocational (Explore) services. This decision allows us to further focus on our community-centered mission.
All other services will continue and remain unchanged.

Our Community-Based Programs, including Connect and QEST, will continue to operate as usual. Our commitment to providing high-quality, person-centered services remains strong.

You may also notice our building listed on the market in the future. Our goal is to remain in our current space, and we are actively exploring options to do so. Regardless of the outcome, we are committed to minimizing disruption and ensuring continuity of services.

While some things may look different, our focus remains the same: supporting individuals and families with reliable, meaningful community services.

If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We value your trust and appreciate your continued partnership.

We wish everyone a happy, safe, and enjoyable holiday.

Last week, everyone had an amazing time learning about entrepreneurship and creating their own candles with Ambitious Vibes Candle Company!

Each person got to pick their favorite scents and design a candle that was uniquely theirs. The creativity (and the smells!) were incredible!

A huge thank-you to AnaLisa and Marissa from Ambitious Vibes Candle Company for sharing your time and talent with us!

LCS History and Mission

Through a cooperative community effort, Curative opened its doors in April of 1951. This was made possible through the hard work of the Junior League of Racine, the excellent leadership of Mrs. John H. (Katie) Batten, and the cooperative efforts of local industry, the labor force, and the medical community. The facility design and initial programs were developed under the direction of C. Margaret Gleave, the founding Executive Director.

Today, LCS continues to provide hands on learning experiences specific to career development by offering skills training, job development, educational workshops and placement services to provide people with varying abilities an opprtunity to work in the community.

We provide training and community engagement for youth and adults of varying abilities to enhance their self-esteem and quality of life.
