Lakeside Assisted Living at Mallard Landing provides a single level of care—assisted living—but within that service it is equipped to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs. The team accepts residents who wander during the day or night, show exit-seeking behavior, or have combative or other behavioral issues common with advanced dementia. Caregivers monitor residents who stay up all night, require oxygen therapy, follow special diets, or live with diabetes, whether managed by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Adults under 60 are considered, and full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and a variety of transfer methods, including walker, wheelchair, standby, and one-person transfers. A visiting podiatrist helps keep foot health on track.

An RN or LPN is on duty around the clock, and a nurse is always on site, day and night. Background-checked staff provide awake and asleep night-shift coverage, while door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and a personal emergency response system add layers of security. An activity director keeps daily routines structured, an important feature for residents with cognitive decline.

Apartment options include layouts with or without a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service; not every unit has all features, so touring is recommended. Residents may choose set menus, order meals on demand, and request snacks throughout the day. Dietary staff prepare modified textures and specialized meal plans to meet clinical needs.

Independent-living residents who rent on the same campus can receive medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan without enrolling in full assisted living. These optional services help maintain self-sufficiency while adding a measure of oversight.

Community amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation as well as proximity to public transit. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services round out the conveniences. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
