Cadence Lakewood provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, offering support for residents with mild needs through to advanced dementia conditions. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors morning or night, elopement risk, behavioral issues, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management whether by oral medication or insulin injections. Staff accept residents under 60 when clinically appropriate. Continuous monitoring and individualized care plans aim to keep residents safe and medically stable while still encouraging as much independence as possible.
The clinical team includes an RN or LPN on site, a nurse on call around the clock, and an activity director who adapts programs for varying cognitive and physical abilities. All staff undergo background checks, remain awake on night shifts, and can respond quickly through door alarms, pull cords, a personal emergency response system, and 24-hour security. A fenced rear area and secured doors help prevent unsupervised exit. On-site podiatry and coordination with psychiatric providers reduce the need for outside trips. Caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they handle transfers ranging from standby support to two-person lifts for wheelchair users.
Apartment options include rooms with private baths, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, independent climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit offers every feature. Meals follow a set menu with snacks always available, and the kitchen can modify textures or nutrients for diabetic, cardiac, low-salt, and other physician-ordered diets.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, an exercise room, barber and beauty services, internet, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit expand travel choices. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
