What to Expect
We’re committed to assisting you in making Lakeshore your new home with a seamless transition to our continuum of care campus.
Moving into a new living situation can be stressful and difficult time for a loved one and their family. The staff at Lakeshore has special experience to get you and your loved one through the transition. We realize you may be feeling overwhelmed right now, so we have put together a few helpful hints to prepare you for your stay.
When You Arrive
After arriving at Lakeshore and getting settled in, you can expect to meet with a representative from each department to learn about your preferences, usually within the first 48 hours. Behind the scenes, these representatives will be working together as your interdisciplinary care team. They are the driving force in developing the plan of care for all of our residents.
What to Bring
Make sure you pack several loose, comfortable outfits to wear if you will be participating in physical and occupational therapy. These outfits should be easy to get on and off because you don’t want to potentially aggravate any injury you may have. Sweatpants, shorts, t-shirts, and sweatshirts are good choices. Additionally, you will need to bring pajamas, undergarments, and any toiletry items you may need during your stay, as well as assistive devices like glasses, hearing aids, or equipment you were given at the hospital (braces, walker, etc.). If you forgot something, don’t worry. Simply let the staff know and they will accommodate you
Our Goal
