Avenida Lakewood is designed for older adults who want an independent living setting while maintaining access to practical health-related support. The community does not provide a full memory-care program, but residents can receive on-site incontinence care, and staff can monitor health changes and coordinate with outside providers if more advanced services are needed. Individuals who are generally able to manage daily life on their own but want the reassurance of prompt, routine health attention will find this arrangement useful.
Additional safeguards round out the care picture. All team members undergo background checks, an activity director structures daily programming, and trained personnel are on the premises around the clock. Residents who need occasional help with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting can request cueing or standby assistance that still encourages self-care. Those who use a walker will find staff available to help with transfers. Combined, these measures aim to keep residents safe without compromising the independence that defines the community.
Apartment layouts come with practical conveniences such as individual temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Some floor plans feature in-unit laundry facilities; others rely on scheduled laundry services handled by staff. Weekly housekeeping is included, and residents in the Independent Living program can request additional light chores as part of their monthly fee. Because unit features vary, prospective residents should confirm which amenities are present in the specific apartment they select.
Dining is structured for flexibility. A made-to-order menu allows residents to choose meals that fit personal tastes or dietary instructions, and snacks are available throughout the day. The goal is straightforward: provide balanced food options without fixed seating times or restrictive meal plans, so residents can keep the routines they prefer.
Beyond core services, Avenida Lakewood offers resident parking, an exercise room, movie theater, library, pool, communal gardens, and a range of special-interest clubs. High-speed internet is available in common areas and private apartments, and the concierge can help schedule transportation or arrange deliveries. The property is close to public transit for those who still drive or prefer local bus and rail options. Pets are welcome in designated units and shared areas; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
