Aura in Lakewood is a licensed residential care home that accepts residents with complex medical profiles, including individuals who wander, require wound care, use oxygen, follow physician-ordered special diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes with oral medications. The team has experience supporting advanced dementia, and care plans are adjusted to track disease progression, vital signs, and medication schedules without relying on outside clinics for routine needs.
The property maintains 24-hour staffing with documented background checks, an overnight shift on site, and perimeter safeguards such as a fenced rear yard, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert caregivers. Residents who need help with daily activities receive full assistance for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help to two-person or bed-bound lifts, and both walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Private and shared rooms are available; most come furnished, though families may bring personal pieces. Walls can be painted or decorated with approval, allowing residents to personalize their space. Cable service is an option in select units, so prospective residents should verify which rooms include this feature.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in house, and the kitchen can modify texture, portion, or nutrient content to meet physician-prescribed diets. Scheduled snacks are stocked each day, and staff monitor intake for residents who need encouragement or coaching at mealtimes.
Common areas and passageways are wheelchair accessible. High-speed internet enables video calls and online entertainment, while communal gardens provide a secure outdoor space for walking or supervised relaxation. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments, and the community is also located near public transit stops for family visits or independent outings when appropriate.
