Brookdale Lakewood sits in a peaceful area with lovely woods, gardens, and even an apple orchard, so residents can enjoy walks on the 16-acre campus and watch the seasons change, and if you look out from some spots you can see the view of Chautauqua Lake, which brings a bit of calm to each day. There are housing options for different needs, including studio, alcove, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all of them with private bathrooms, kitchenettes with sinks, microwaves, and refrigerators, and lots of natural light, plus you can even bring pets, so people and their furry companions can both feel at home. Many folks enjoy that there's space for grandchildren to visit and for pets to get comfortable in the apartments.
The community offers several care choices like assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing and rehab, adult day care, home health, and even at-home care services, so people can stay at Brookdale Lakewood as their needs change, and the Enriched Housing Program means residents can choose to spend time with friends, relax, or join activities whenever they want. The staff are around 24 hours every day and always ready for emergencies, which does bring families peace of mind, and every apartment has an emergency call system, so help is never too far away. The caring staff members help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, meals, reminders, redirection, medication management, and simple housekeeping, but don't hover or intrude-they always try to respect privacy and encourage independence where possible.
Meals here feel home-cooked, with a restaurant-style setting, and there's a private dining room for celebrating special moments with family or friends. Brookdale Lakewood keeps up with daily activities, special events, clubs, and arts and crafts programs, and you'll often find people working on a puzzle or chatting in the game room, reading in the library, or attending religious services right on-site. There's a fitness center with programs like Tai Chi and the B-Fit exercise and wellness series, and the Brain Fit program helps promote brain health with various activities and games. Campus features also include walking paths, courtyard gardens, porch seating, a beauty salon for hair appointments, an art studio, a game room, and a pharmacy on campus, making it easier to handle routine needs.
Residents don't have to worry about chores, since staff take care of housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and home maintenance, and scheduled transportation is available for shopping, outings, and medical appointments. Apartments are available with month-to-month leases, and payment options include private funds and long-term care insurance. The team at Brookdale Lakewood, owned and operated by Brookdale Senior Living since 1978, really focuses on creating a comfortable, homelike setting, making residents feel welcome with cheerful greetings and respect for personal choices every day, and care plans are tailored for each person, so you only pay for the exact level of support needed, which relieves a lot of stress for families. The overall feeling is one of community, honesty, and steady routines, surrounded by beautiful scenery and a staff who know how to balance assistance and independence.
