Lakefront continuing-care campus on Milwaukee's East Side with lake-view apartments and a full continuum of care.
Saint John's on the Lake is a lakefront continuing-care community on Milwaukee's East Side offering independent living (including an 'Independent Living PLUS' tier with additional support built in), assisted living, skilled care, memory care, and rehabilitation therapy, all on one Prospect Avenue campus overlooking Lake Michigan. Apartment styles range from studio to three-bedroom units, with many offering lake and city views -- a differentiator among the metro's continuing-care campuses, most of which are set back from the lakefront.
The community organizes its wellness approach around a 'LifeStreams Wellness Program' addressing emotional, environmental, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing, rather than treating fitness and activities as an afterthought. Amenity programming on the operator's own site includes fitness classes, wine tastings, and cultural events, aimed at an urban, socially active resident base. Families can reach the main line at 414-272-2022, or the dedicated sales line at 414-831-7300 to schedule a tour.
As with every community-based residential setting in Wisconsin, the state does not publish per-facility bed counts or pricing for Saint John's on the Lake, so families should request current rates and unit availability directly from the sales line above.
