Lakewood Courtyard offers assisted living and memory care for people at least 55 years old, and the place is easy to get to with bus lines nearby, which is handy for families and visitors, and there's resident parking, plus complimentary transportation when folks need to go out, which they do often, since the Activities Department puts together a bunch of in-house events and regular trips out for shopping, banking, sightseeing, dining, and other things people enjoy, while inside, residents can join fitness classes, computer lessons, discussion groups, Torah lectures, day trips, music entertainment, and community performances, making it easy for people to stay active, learn new skills, and socialize. The staff provides personal assistance with daily living like bathing or dressing, and help with memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, including a special, secure building with safety tools like alarm bracelets to keep people from wandering off, and nearby, staff can help anyone move from bed to wheelchair, provide standby support, or use a lift when needed, especially important for people who need a bit more assistance or have limited movement. Healthcare support includes medication management, diabetes care including insulin injections and blood sugar checks, reminders for restroom use, podiatry, dental, and visits from nurses and therapists for physical, occupational, or speech needs; there's a clinic right on the property run by doctors and nurses on call.
The property has tidy indoor and outdoor areas where residents can visit, relax, or take part in scheduled activities, and both places are designed to be safe and comfortable, with wheelchair-accessible showers, grab bars, and shower seats throughout, and the suites come in several layouts like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or shared apartments, so there's enough room for folks to find what they need, with kitchenettes, full baths, carpeting, window treatments, and heating and air conditioning that each person can control themselves. The dining options are thoughtful too-every meal offers kosher or vegetarian choices, served in elegant dining spaces with decorated tables and murals, and for snacks or quieter meals, the cozy café is stocked with vending machines, beverage stations, and cheerful artwork.
The grounds are calm and pleasant, with pretty awnings, nice landscaping, and a pier overlooking the waterfront where people can take a walk or watch the scenery. There's also a special sanctuary with wooden pews, prayer books, and a Torah ark, one of several Jewish touches that add to the homelike setting. Pets with certain weight limits are welcome to move in with their owners, and both cats and dogs are allowed, which can be important for people who want to keep animal companions. Residents and their families give good reviews, noting that the staff really remembers everyone's names, and staff are available around the clock to help with emergencies or any daily needs, so people don't have to worry about waiting for help. Housekeeping, onsite beautician services, and all-inclusive amenities make daily life a little easier, and there's a state-of-the-art emergency response system in every apartment for peace of mind. Outdoor smoking is allowed, but no smoking's permitted indoors. Anyone who needs respite care or a short-term stay can arrange it. Lakewood Courtyard aims to help people live comfortably and securely, with social, physical, and spiritual support tailored to each person as their needs change over time.
