Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation

LASATA CARE CENTER is the Ozaukee County owned nursing home. Lasata opened in 1966 as a 100 bed retirement home for the aged. Since then we have expanded to 180 beds providing acute and skilled care services to the frail elderly, chronically ill, dementia related, medically unstable and rehabilitative therapy residents.

Our average daily census is 175 residents and all our beds are certified for Medicaid(T19) and Medicare(T18) services.  We contract with MJ Care Therapy and they offer a full range of therapy services. We can treat short-term, medically unstable, and residents recovering from surgery or injury as well as long-term residents coping with chronic conditions. Services include speech, occupational, and physical therapy.

Fifty-five  percent of our rooms are private rooms and the remaining rooms are double rooms. There is a bathroom for every 2 residents. Each room is wired for cable TV and has an emergency call system. We have a full service beauty/barber shop, a chapel where we hold several denominational services. We have a greenhouse for residents to grow flowers and vegetables that are planted in our wheelchair accessible gardens as a part of our expanding Horticultural Therapy program.

Our 24-hour nursing service can accommodate IV’s, tube feedings, ostomy, palliative, alzheimer’s and dementia care. We have outside consultants that come to Lasata to treat you so you do not have to travel or leave our building. These services include dental, podiatry, audiology, optometry, psychiatric, psychological, respiratory and hospice care .

Lasata has a Resident Council that meets with the Administrator on a monthly basis to discuss common issues, to stay informed and to help make changes in facility procedures, programs and services.
