Lakeside at Waterman Village is structured as a continuing care retirement community, so residents can move among independent living, assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing settings without leaving the campus. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock, and a medical director oversees care coordination with outside physicians and hospitals. The health center provides skilled nursing services, wound care, IV therapy, and medication administration, while the memory support neighborhood uses individualized care plans and secured spaces to reduce the risk of wandering. Rehabilitation professionals deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, helping residents recover from surgery or illness without leaving the property.
Additional care features include routine health assessments, electronic health records that travel with the resident through each level of care, and an emergency call system that links directly to trained staff. The community arranges transportation to off-site medical appointments and handles the paperwork for insurance and Medicare billing. A dedicated care navigator tracks each resident’s progress, coordinates transitions between care levels, and keeps families informed. Wellness programming includes chronic disease management classes, fall-prevention workshops, and onsite immunization clinics. Respite stays and hospice coordination are also available when needed.
Housing options range from studio and one-bedroom apartments to larger two-bedroom residences and freestanding homes. Floor plans may feature kitchenettes, full kitchens, walk-in showers, washer-dryer hookups, or screened patios, but not every unit offers every feature. All residences come with basic utilities, cable or satellite television, individual climate controls, and an emergency response system. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are available, allowing residents to focus on daily activities rather than household chores.
The main dining room follows a rotating menu of chef-prepared meals, and a casual bistro offers lighter fare throughout the day. Dietitians review menus to ensure that heart-healthy, diabetic, low-sodium, and gluten-free options are available. Residents can choose between a set meal plan, à la carte dining, or pay-as-you-go selections, and not all plan levels grant unlimited access to every venue. Grab-and-go snacks, room service, and a private dining room for family events can be arranged, though these options may carry additional fees or be limited to certain contract types.
