Tapestry Senior Living Lakeshore in Tallahassee delivers two principal levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Assisted Living residents receive help with daily routines while maintaining as much independence as possible, and the Memory Care neighborhood offers structured programming designed for individuals with cognitive decline. Short-term respite stays are accepted, allowing caregivers a break or residents a trial period. Diabetes management is available, and on-site or visiting physicians coordinate routine and acute medical needs. Speech therapy services are offered for residents who need communication or swallowing support.
The community is a secured environment, an important safeguard for residents who may wander or who benefit from closer supervision. Health services are broad: licensed nurses oversee care plans, and a podiatrist, optometrist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and massage therapist visit regularly. Medication management, incontinence care, and ambulatory assistance are provided daily. The building layout and programming are designed to accommodate memory loss, and hospice services are in place for residents who require end-of-life care.
Apartments vary in size and layout and may include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible or roll-in showers, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and individual climate control. Some units are handicap accessible, and select floor plans allow small pets. Residents can enjoy outdoor areas, piano or organ lounges, and convenient parking, but not every accommodation contains every listed feature; availability depends on the chosen suite.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals plus snacks. The kitchen offers restaurant-style service with an all-day dining option, enabling residents to eat on their own schedule. Menu choices cover international dishes, vegetarian selections, low-sodium plates, and no-sugar desserts. Guest meals are available for visiting family members, making shared dining straightforward.
Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, fitness and yoga classes, a swimming pool with adjacent Jacuzzi, and outdoor walking paths with raised garden beds. Social calendars feature clubs, intergenerational programs, happy hours, dances, live music, karaoke, birthday parties, and regular outings. Reminiscence and sensory-based activities are tailored for Memory Care participants, ensuring engagement at all cognitive levels.
