Safe Senior Housing in Escanaba

At LakeHouse Escanaba, we built every apartment with aging-in-place features in mind. All units have wide doorways to simplify entry, even when using assistive walkers. They also feature:

  • Step-free showers with built-in seating for safer bathing
  • Accessible countertops that are easy to reach while seated
  • Non-slip flooring to prevent falls
  • Lever-style door handles to avoid joint pain
  • Grab bars in bathrooms for extra stability

Our accessible living spaces allow your aging loved one to live safely.

While our apartments have many safety features, they are also stylish. We incorporate soft lighting to protect your loved one's eyes and use neutral color palettes.

The spaces also have large windows, creating a calming atmosphere filled with natural light. Your loved one will feel secure and enjoy a beautiful space.
