  • If you're wondering what it's like in LakeHouse Cedarburg assisted living, our retirement village in Cedarburg, WI, a charming town known for its historic downtown and 20-mile distance from Milwaukee, expect it to transform your weekly life by replacing the stress of home upkeep with professional maintenance.

    We'll also help you ease out of isolation by providing many socialization opportunities. You can also enjoy healthier, better eating with our chef-prepared meals.

    With the consistent, safe, engaging, and simplified senior lifestyle in Wisconsin that LakeHouse Cedarburg assisted living delivers, you can enjoy a structured routine that can help keep boredom at bay.

    You can also minimize the risk of loneliness, something that can arise from isolation. As the AARP points out, major life changes like retirement can increase risks of isolation, and loneliness affects 40% of U.S. adults.

    What Is the Difference Between Assisted Living and Senior Housing?

    "Senior housing" is an umbrella term for residential options specifically for older adults, usually 55 or older. It includes assisted living among other types (e.g., independent living and memory care).

    Assisted living is a specific type of senior housing option that provides many senior-centric amenities and services on top of thoughtfully furnished, well-designed apartment homes, including:

    • Organized and structured retirement routines with support
    • Chef-prepared meals
    • Housekeeping and apartment home maintenance
    • Exclusive senior living programs (e.g., health, wellness, lifestyle, social, and recreational)

    Another distinct feature of Cedarburg assisted living is that it provides its Ozaukee County senior housing residents access to 24/7 personal care and supportive services. As a resident, you or your older loved one can get highly individualized assistance for activities of daily living (ADLs) if and when needed.

    According to Michigan Medicine, 70% of people who live to 65 will need long-term care and support for ADLs in the future.

    Do People Live Longer in Assisted Living or at Home?

    Yes. Older adults who transition to senior living communities tend to live longer than their peers residing in the greater community.

    According to the non-profit organization National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), older adults who move to senior living:

    • Live longer and have a lower mortality rate than seniors living in the general community
    • Experience decreased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes shortly after transitioning
    • Enjoy better health outcomes, such as lower rates of hospitalization

    How Does Cedarburg Assisted Living Change Your Week?

    At LakeHouse Cedarburg, our assisted living near downtown Cedarburg, the top priority is to support seniors' quality of life by providing highly individualized care and support while inspiring independence and social engagement.

    With our maintenance-free lifestyle, we encourage residents to feel less stressed. They can also use their freed-up time to get out, venture into the outdoors, socialize, and enjoy doing things they love or haven't tried before.

    Reducing Stress Associated With Home Upkeep

    LakeHouse Cedarburg provides convenience and safety to our residents with weekly housekeeping. We help them have healthier, safer living environments, where they can thrive and worry less about accidents like slips, trips, and falls.

    Falls are extremely common. As the National Council on Aging (NCOA) reports, one in four American adults 65 and older has a fall each year. If you fall even just once, your risk of falling again doubles.

    Our team further helps seniors feel less stressed about home upkeep by taking over the responsibility of apartment maintenance. With your clean, well-maintained home, you'll likely feel more excited to invite family and loved ones for a visit.

    Avoiding Isolation and Loneliness

    If you live alone or have little to no physical and social contact with others, you're at a higher risk of experiencing isolation, loneliness, or both. According to the U.S. CDC, isolation and loneliness can raise your risk for:

    • Heart disease
    • Dementia
    • Type 2 diabetes
    • Self-harm
    • Stroke
    • Anxiety
    • Depression

    We can help you change those odds here at LakeHouse Cedarburg, as our community focuses on building and strengthening connections that can make you less likely to feel isolated or lonely.

    Our staff is available 24/7 if you need someone to talk to or ask for help. Our tight-knit community with people your age or close to it will also make you feel welcome and that you belong.

    Dining Better and Healthier

    Another welcome change that you can expect when you move to Cedarburg assisted living is that once you're here, you can enjoy regular access to healthy and delicious chef-prepared meals.

    Your well-appointed senior apartment home will have a kitchenette, yes. However, you can also rely on our talented culinary team to nourish your body and mind. You can also take advantage of these chef-prepared meals as a chance to socialize and break bread with fellow residents.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Are ADLs?

    ADLs are the daily, weekly, or regular tasks that a person must be able to do on their own to care for themselves, stay safe and happy, and remain independent. From bathing to showering, feeding to transferring, and managing medications and finances, these are all examples of ADLs.

    Aging, combined with chronic health conditions, can affect a person's ability to perform ADLs without others' help, though.
