Lockwood of Genesee offers a quiet, active retirement living option with several choices for different needs, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in one place, so people can easily get the care they need as life changes, and what many folks seem to appreciate here is the way the apartments are built with both comfort and safety in mind-there are one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, each coming with full kitchens, roomy bathrooms, private patios or balconies, and emergency pull cords in the bathrooms and bedrooms, while some units have step-in bathtubs and upgraded finishes, so residents can pick what suits them best. The staff provides housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders, in-house nursing, homecare, and even on-site doctors and dentists, plus podiatry, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and although they don't allow smoking indoors, they do let residents keep a cat or small dog if it weighs fifty pounds or less, though the pet policy means just one animal, with a fee and some restrictions, so people who like animals can bring them along.
The community space includes a dining room with big windows, a fitness center with bikes and weights, lounges with comfortable seating and fireplaces for relaxing or chatting, a well-stocked library, activity rooms for games, billiards, and crafts, and a small convenience store, and with both indoor and outdoor common spaces, including gardens and landscaped areas, there's spots for walking around or sitting outside on quiet days, while elevators and accessible features make it easier to get around, but details about parking and specific building features aren't always clear. People who move in get three chef-prepared meals a day, served in the community dining room, and extra help like room service or aides is available if someone needs it, and the staff keeps the calendar full with daily and weekly activities, both in the building and out in the community, such as clubs, music groups, games, cultural trips, gardening, educational lessons, religious services, and offsite events, so there's usually something for people to do, plus the building has devotional services on-site for those who want them.
Laundry and housekeeping for linens come with the apartments, so chores are pretty light for residents, and the kitchen appliances-refrigerator, stove, double sink, dishwasher-are included, with wooden cabinets as storage space in each home, and everyone has a living area and storage with plenty of room. The dining area has tables and chairs set up neatly with a lot of daylight coming in, and apartments feature their own climate controls, walk-in closets, and accessible showers, and each floor plan is meant to give people both private space and chances to be social, whether living alone or sharing a semi-private space. Staff is available 24/7 for emergencies, and the building has call systems to get help quickly in case of a problem, and Lockwood of Genesee prides itself some on the friendly, helpful staff who know the residents and help them out, with nurses and aides on shift part-time and full-time depending on care level, so people get both freedom and support without too much fuss.
The facility accepts Medicaid payments, offers respite care for short-term stays, and supports people living with memory concerns like Alzheimer's by having a memory care team present, while offering protections for LGBTQ+ individuals and making sure discrimination isn't an issue, since federal and state laws are part of the policy. There's transportation for shopping, doctor visits, events, and general errands offered as part of the services, and a beautician and barber shop is on site, so looking good isn't hard to keep up with. With spaces for hobbies, musical groups, arts and crafts, as well as gardening and other outdoor activities on the grounds, Lockwood of Genesee tries to cover all the basics for folks wanting a comfortable, secure place to live that still feels easy and flexible, even though some details about buildings and parking aren't always clear, and the living is meant to be just simple, with help close at hand when you want it, and a soft emphasis on a quiet, pleasant way of life.
