Lakewood Palace in Lakewood, CA operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a wide range of health needs. The staff is trained to support residents who wander during either day or night, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, require wound care or oxygen, need special diets, live with advanced dementia, or manage diabetes with oral medications. The community also welcomes adults under age 60 when appropriate medical and behavioral supports are required.
Care delivery is backed by round-the-clock staffing, with both awake and asleep night-shift coverage, background-checked employees, fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, and resident pull-cord alerts. An on-site podiatrist visits the property to address foot and mobility issues. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer help spans walker and wheelchair support, standby or one-person aid, two-person assist, full Hoyer lift, and bed-bound care when necessary.
Rooms come furnished, and residents may arrange to paint or otherwise personalize their spaces; cable service is available in select units. Because features vary, families are encouraged to confirm which amenities are present in specific accommodations.
Meals are served from a set menu, with staff able to modify textures or ingredients for medical or cultural reasons. Snacks are offered between meals, and diet management plans are followed as ordered by physicians or dietitians.
Community services include outdoor smoking areas, barrier-free design for wheelchair users, internet access, communal gardens, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit for residents and visiting family members.
