The Chateau

The Chateau of Lawton sits on SW Lee Boulevard and has served seniors since 1996, keeping the building in shape with regular updates and a fresh look, so you'll see garden courtyards and paths, lots of green outside, common rooms for games or movies, and indoor spaces that get plenty of sunlight. Mr. Sam Ghosn leads a dedicated team of staff where folks are known for being helpful and kind, and the community runs on a slower pace out in a more rural spot, so things stay calm and friendly. The Chateau offers nursing care, independent living for active seniors, home care services with trained aides, as well as assisted living and memory care for those who need extra help, with secure suites and 24-hour support, covering things like bathing, medication, meals, and even walking again after illness or surgery. Memory care comes with added safety features to help prevent confusion or wandering, while apartment homes stay private, bright, and furnished with kitchen appliances. Residents eat in a restaurant-style dining room, and the cook gets to know what people like and tries to fit special diets. There's an on-site beautician, Wi-Fi, TV in common spaces, move-in help, and transportation options for errands or groups going out. On top of regular care, there's light weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and a variety of community programs like crafts, music, exercise, and group outings, so people living there get a chance to stay active and social if they want. The building is wheelchair accessible, and non-ambulatory care is available for folks who can't get around on their own. Residents can garden or just relax outside, and there's always someone around to help with emergencies, medicine, or daily needs. The Chateau has flexible short-term respite care for recovery, and nurses plus CNAs and PCAs give care around the clock. Fees can vary if you use a motorized scooter or need extra attention. The community has been honored several times with the Best of Senior Living award after strong reviews from residents and families. The staff takes time to know each person, aiming for a comfortable, respectful home where people can age with support and dignity, and the sense of neighborhood and family runs through most days, whether you're taking part in a craft, joining a group meal, or just enjoying the courtyard on a sunny afternoon.
