About This Community

To us at Lakewood - assisted living by Americare in Springfield, Missouri, assisted living means two things: you do the living and we help you live. Our personal assistants provide what you need when you need it. Here, the emphasis is less on paperwork and more on people. Our licensed nurse and certified medication aides get to know our residents like family, with all of their unique needs and preferences. It's like home.

Dining is a focal point of our residents' day at Lakewood - assisted living by Americare. It starts with an open breakfast with eggs just the way you like them. We accommodate our early risers ready for toast and coffee as well as those who can't start the day without a big hot breakfast. Comfort foods, foods familiar and favorite, are part of our menu.

Our admission counseling services are comprehensive. Our administrator helps guide the family through all of the care options available to them as well as through the maze of paperwork involved with accessing our public long term care benefits. Making it easy on the family is our first priority at Lakewood - assisted living by Americare.

At The Arbors at Lakewood in Springfield, MO living with Alzheimer's becomes less of a challenge for you and your loved one. We combine the intimacy of assisted living with specialized care for dementia. The size of the Arbors promotes a comforting, calming environment. With no more than 15 rooms, the Arbors co-exists with a sister assisted living facility, yet remains separate. Care is provided in a building specifically designed with the care of the Alzheimer's resident in mind. We consider each resident's own strengths and weaknesses to weave a seamless cloth of individualized care. We also incorporate the latest approaches to this challenging disease into the daily routines and activities of all our residents. It's difficult to even search for proper care while tending to someone with Alzheimer's. Each day presents new challenges to patients and their caregivers. At the Arbors we offer a shelter of care and advice for the entire family.

My parents are in Lakewood Senior Living. They've been there for about two and a half years now, and we've been very happy with them. We're very happy with the activities. They do a lot of music programs, which is really great for Dad with Alzheimer's. Music is the one thing that he has retained over and above everything else, so they do a lot of different music activities. They also have exercise every day that they participate in, and they take trips in a van. Mom and Dad don't go on the trips because that's very confusing for Dad, but that is something that they offer. The hospice pastor comes and does homemade ice cream once a week. Sometimes, they have people that bring their miniature horses in that they can pet, and they've got different people with therapy dogs that come in. They have just a wide variety of different activities going on. They do a really good job on their activities. We have eaten there, and they always invite you to eat any meal. There is no charge for it. If you're there during the mealtime, and you want to eat, they offer you with the meal, and the food there has been good. Their chef is fabulous. The staff is outstanding. The facility is very clean, very well kept, and very easy to get around. Dad's over in the memory care. He spent time in assisted living in the same room as Mom, and then he moved over to memory care. He has gone downhill significantly, and he is really not able to participate in the activities, so when we visit, we just sit with him. From what I've seen of the activities, they're very good as well. The staff does things like have the residents paint their names. She will write their name out and have them go over it with a paintbrush, to kind of work not only on fine motor skills, but also recognizing their name. I've seen karaoke going on there, I've seen noodle ball, which they take pool noodles and have a balloon around to kind of work on their motor skills, and the staff reads stories to them. They sing, and there's a piano that somebody can play if they want to. From what I've seen, the activities have been very good. It is very expensive, as are all facilities, but it is definitely worth it. They're safe, and they're happy there.
