Caring for a loved one after a hospital stay can be overwhelming. You're balancing their need for recovery with your daily responsibilities, often feeling like you're constantly on edge, worried you might miss something important.
This is where assisted living respite care comes in. It offers a lifeline for families who want the best for their loved ones without compromising on quality or attention to detail. Whether it's ensuring medication is administered correctly or offering a friendly face to lift spirits, choosing the right respite care can make all the difference.
But what makes our assisted living respite care stand out from other senior living options? Keep reading to discover why assisted living respite care at LakeHouse Fond du Lac might be the best choice you can make for your family.
When it comes to recovery, having access to round-the-clock medical support is crucial. At LakeHouse Fond du Lac, our residents benefit from the presence of a full-time licensed nurse who is on call 24 hours a day. This constant availability ensures that any medical concerns are addressed immediately.
One of the significant benefits of respite care is the assurance that your loved one is never without professional medical support. For instance, after surgery or a serious illness, even minor complications can quickly escalate without proper care.
Our team is trained to:
This level of care significantly reduces the risk of hospital readmission, which is a common concern for seniors after discharge. According to the Health Services Research journal, nearly one in five Medicare patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge, often due to inadequate post-discharge care.
At LakeHouse Fond du Lac, we aim to lower that statistic by offering the intensive, personalized care needed during this critical period.
No two individuals are alike, especially when it comes to healthcare needs. That's why LakeHouse Fond du Lac focuses on developing personalized care plans for each resident.

Respite care for seniors is about more than just medical support, however. It's about treating the whole person. Our personalized care plans take into account everything from dietary preferences to mobility requirements so that every resident receives the care and attention they deserve.
For example, if a resident requires assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or medication management, our trained staff is there to help. On the other hand, if a resident is more independent but needs support with mobility or memory care, we adjust our approach accordingly.
Recovery doesn't just happen physically; it also involves emotional and mental well-being. Staying active and engaged is a critical component of a successful recovery process, and that's where the social environment at LakeHouse Fond du Lac plays a vital role.
