Lakeshore Care Centre is a dedicated memory-care community designed to serve residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Specialized programming, secure environments and trained staff members focus on cognitive support and safety at every stage of memory loss. For families needing a temporary solution, the community also offers respite and short-term stays, giving caregivers a break while ensuring consistent professional oversight. On-site diabetes management is available, with monitoring, medication administration and diet coordination handled by nursing staff who understand the specific needs of residents with diabetes.
Beyond specialized clinical attention, residents have access to a continuum of everyday health services that help maintain stability and comfort. Regular wellness assessments, 24-hour staff presence and coordination with outside physicians are built into the care model. The community arranges medical appointments, provides assistance with activities of daily living and manages prescriptions, reducing logistical stress for families. Emergency response systems are in place throughout the residence, and rehabilitation therapies can be coordinated as needed, supporting recovery after an illness or hospital stay.
Accommodations at Lakeshore Care Centre are designed to balance accessibility and familiarity. Private and companion suites may include features such as bath tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, ground-floor locations, air conditioning and cable or satellite TV, though individual units vary and not every room contains every feature. Common areas provide additional comfort with indoor lounges, a central fireplace, Wi-Fi, piano or organ for resident use, and ground-level access to outdoor patios and landscaped spaces. Resident parking is available for those who still drive, and every area of the building is handicap accessible.
Dining follows a restaurant-style service model with three scheduled meals each day and optional room service for residents who prefer to dine privately. Menus accommodate a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, low or no sodium and no-sugar options, which align well with diabetes management plans. Seasonal BBQs or outdoor picnics are organized when weather permits, providing variety and a change of setting while still meeting individual nutritional guidelines.
Residents can take part in a broad activities calendar that includes on-site arts and crafts, Wii bowling, trivia games, karaoke, stretching classes, yoga or chair yoga and Live Well fitness sessions. Off-site day trips, holiday parties, dances, intergenerational programs and birthday celebrations add social variety. The community schedules live music, live dance or theater performances, art classes, and organized outings, ensuring residents have regular opportunities for engagement and stimulation.
