Lakewood Hills Senior Village sits in Athens, Georgia, and has options for seniors who want to live independently or need more help like assisted living, memory care for those with dementia, or skilled nursing care, and the place's been around since July 15, 2012, so it's a more modern community with secure buildings and wheelchair accessibility everywhere, even in the showers. The community has 74 apartment homes, split evenly between 37 one-bedroom and 37 two-bedroom floor plans, and they each have a full kitchen with energy-efficient appliances, washer and dryer, ceiling fans, carpeted bedrooms, and large bathrooms you can move around in if you use a wheelchair, and you get a private apartment and bathroom, sometimes with a kitchenette including a refrigerator, microwave, and sink.
Residents can join all kinds of activities, since there's a full-time activity director here who schedules trips, outings, and all sorts of social, educational, and arts and crafts events, and inside you'll find big open areas to relax, a dining room with restaurant-style meals and special diets if needed, a game room, a well-kept computer library, a beauty salon and barbershop, and Wi-Fi throughout. There's also a Life Enrichment program and plenty of wellness opportunities, plus a fitness center and a walking path outside, and people like spending time by the community garden or in the pretty outdoor courtyards which you can see right from some of the studio apartments, and folks who like pets can bring their cats or dogs as long as they fit the rules here. Apartments are sized between 683 and 955 square feet for comfortable living, and there are both studio and two-bedroom options for couples or singles, including some areas set aside just for women.
If someone needs help with tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or moving around, there are personal care assistants and 24-hour resident assistants around, plus a full-time registered nurse who manages things, and when it comes to medical needs, the location makes it easy-there are two hospitals, 16 physician offices, 15 pharmacies, and several rehabilitation centers nearby for anything from emergencies to ongoing therapy. For daily life, folks have a laundry service, housekeeping, maintenance, sprinkler system for fire safety, and transportation provided for shopping trips, doctor visits, and outings, which is handy since there are so many restaurants, parks, grocery stores, banks, and even five cafes right nearby, making it easy to keep active and social.
People can be as busy or relaxed as they want here, since the staff encourage joining activities but also respect privacy, and the place welcomes people with disabilities, making sure every area is accessible to everyone, whether someone uses a walker, uses a wheelchair, or just wants extra safety features. There are private parking spaces and guest parking too, so friends and family can come and visit. Four places of worship are close, so spiritual needs are covered, and the atmosphere feels warm, cozy, and friendly because staff try to give each resident personal attention, respecting both their independence and any support they might need. Lakewood Hills Senior Village fits people aged 55 and older looking for their own apartment in a safe, active, and helpful senior community, whether they want to come and go or need everyday care.
