Lasata rebranded as campus is poised to expand

OZAUEKE COUNTY recently unveiled the new Lasata Senior Living Campus logo.
The Ozaukee County-owned and run Lasata Senior Living Campus will get a fresh coat of paint this month, virtually, that is, with a new logo and a new website.
“The primary goal is marketing the continuum of care the Lasata Campus provides,” County Administrator Jason Dzwinel said.
Currently, Lasata’s online presence is confined to a few static, information-heavy, design-light pages on the Ozaukee County website.
Dzwinel said the new website will be launched by July.
The new logo features a light and airy tree of multicolored leaves supported by a trunk formed from two entwined arms and hands.
Dzwinel said Fifth Color, a Sheboygan-based design firm, was the vendor.
“They do many senior living websites, including a recent upgrade for the Sheboygan County-operated nursing home,” Rocky Knoll Health Care Center, he said.
“The upgraded website includes professional design, production and photography,” Dzwinel said.
“It will be updated with monthly activity calendars, current photos of events and activities, and have a bill-pay portal. People that are searching for a community for either themselves or a loved one will be able to tour the campus virtually, as well as communicate with the Lasata team.”
The Lasata Senior Campus includes three separate facilities: the Lasata Care Center, which offers skilling nurse and rehab services, Lasata Crossings, an assisted living facility, and Lasata Heights, a home for independent seniors.
The County Board has set aside $4.5 million in federal funds to build a community-based residential facility, or CBRF that would complete the continuum of care, providing services needed by people graduating from assisted living but not ready to move into the Care Center.
A number of residents are lost each year because those gap services aren’t available, officials say.
Other CBRF residents would be those requiring memory care.
Officials estimate about half the 24 beds of the CBRF would be filled with residents from other Lasata facilities, freeing space in those buildings for new residents, while the other half would probably come from outside Lasata.
In April, the county contracted with Altius Building Co. to be the construction manager for the project at a cost of $297,340.
Earlier this month, the county Health and Human Services Committee recommended hiring Dimension Design Group, at a cost of $252,202, to do architectural design work on the project.
