Lawton Senior Living in Lawton, Iowa offers two primary levels of support: Assisted Living for residents who benefit from routine help with daily activities and a secured Memory Care program designed for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Both settings can accommodate respite or short-term stays, provide targeted diabetes management, and arrange speech therapy sessions as prescribed. The campus is a secured community, a feature that adds an extra layer of safety for residents who may be at risk for wandering.
Additional clinical resources are available on site to help residents age in place. These services include incontinence and ambulatory care, coordinated hospice support, and comprehensive medication management overseen by licensed staff. Occupational and physical therapists visit the community regularly, giving residents the opportunity to work on strength, mobility, and daily-living skills without having to leave the building. The community’s structure allows nursing staff and therapists to communicate quickly, which can streamline care adjustments when health needs change.
Apartments and suites come in several layouts, all with basic utilities and climate control. Select floor plans feature wheelchair-accessible showers, built-in Wi-Fi, cable or satellite television hookups, and views of landscaped outdoor areas. A central fireplace in a common lounge offers a comfortable gathering spot, and on-site parking is available for residents and guests. Because layouts and features vary, not every accommodation includes every element noted above.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times a day, with snacks available between dining periods. The culinary team can adjust menus for common dietary requirements, such as carbohydrate-controlled plates for residents managing diabetes. Staff members monitor nutritional intake and coordinate with healthcare providers if supplemental or modified diets become necessary.
Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and regularly scheduled live-music events. Fitness offerings range from instructor-led yoga and chair yoga sessions to broader fitness programs adapted for different mobility levels. Intergenerational programs, happy hours, birthday parties, and group social outings provide additional opportunities for engagement, while landscaped grounds allow residents to spend time outdoors in supervised or independent settings.
