The Palms of Lake Spivey offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of support that matches their needs. For those who require medical oversight, the community provides respite stays, regular wellness checks, diabetes management, on-site physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Short-term stays are available for individuals recovering from illness or surgery, giving families a flexible option for temporary care. Residents who do not need memory care will note that the community does not specialize in dementia services, so its resources remain focused on general medical and rehabilitative support.
Clinical services are backed by an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call around the clock, complemented by background-checked caregivers who remain awake on night shifts. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect residents directly to staff. On-site professionals include nurses, physical and occupational therapists, a speech therapist, and a visiting podiatrist. The team can manage medications, provide incontinence services, and assist fully with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when needed. Hospice and non-ambulatory care are available, and an activity director coordinates brain-fitness programs and pet-focused engagements to round out daily routines.
Apartment options may feature kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and regular housekeeping, although not every unit includes every feature. Residents choose layouts that match their lifestyle, and those in Independent Living can arrange for housekeeping on a scheduled basis, reducing daily chores while still maintaining autonomy.
Dining follows an on-order system so residents can select meals that suit their preferences at each sitting. Therapeutic diets and physician-ordered modifications—such as low-sugar or heart-healthy menus—are accommodated without surcharge. Staff can offer full assistance with eating when required, and the kitchen works closely with clinical personnel to ensure nutritional plans align with each resident’s care plan.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, concierge desk, library, and pool. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
