The Lakes at Litchfield sits on 23 acres with pretty ponds, walking paths, and lush grounds inside a gated community, and the place has several buildings with a clubhouse where people gather for games, social events, internet surfing, and community meals, and there're all sorts of places to live like cottages and villa apartments with names like The Washington, The Adams, Jefferson, Jasmine, Ibis villa, and The Heron, all with options for people who want maintenance-free living and help with things like laundry, housekeeping, and bills. Folks can pick from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term rehab, respite care, and home health care, and the campus is licensed as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which also goes by a Life Plan community, so as people's needs change, they can get more support without leaving. Independent seniors stay in cottage homes or apartment villas with features like washers and dryers, walk-in closets, patios, emergency call systems, and pet-friendly rules, and they can use the laundry, parking, and services like bill pay and transportation, and staff help keep things organized and safe.
Assisted living residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and staff take care of laundry, cleaning, and meals, while folks in memory care have special programs and safe spaces for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia-these services try to cut down on confusion and wandering. There's also a skilled nursing area for those who need round-the-clock medical care, with registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) providing care, including wound and respiratory treatments, injections, and therapy, and there's a therapy room for speech, physical, and occupational rehab. The wellness program at The Lakes at Litchfield has gotten six national awards, and there's a fitness center, heated indoor pool for water aerobics or rehab, lots of exercise classes, and personal training, plus a beauty salon and barber shop.
Dining is restaurant-style with meals prepared by chefs and meal planners who focus on quality and nutrition, and there's room service and guest meals as well. The community stays busy with a calendar full of activities like painting, sculpting, movies, outings, and regular social gatherings in the clubhouse, and people can also join religious activities or spend time gardening or on outdoor patios. Residents can bring pets, and staff can help with pet sitting, walking, and trips to the vet. People who want to stay in their own homes can get support too, from scheduled visits to live-in or overnight care, depending on what's needed, and caregivers offer help with personal care, wellness checks, meal prep, companionship, shopping, errands, and transportation to appointments or church.
Some of the services and programs have special names, like Weller™ Life Start and Weller™ Life Turn In, and the Independent Living + program adds help with things like safety, cleaning, and maintenance for folks who still want their own space but a little extra support. Events and activity offerings keep changing to match what people like. Senior Living Communities manages The Lakes at Litchfield, and the staff have a reputation for being friendly, helpful, and kind, and the place has a quiet, comfortable feel with safety features and attention to resident independence, so folks can enjoy life with as much freedom and choice as possible, knowing care's there if they need it.
