Lockwood of Fenton offers Independent Living and is equipped to meet a range of basic medical needs that often accompany this lifestyle choice. Residents who use oxygen equipment receive support from staff trained to monitor supplies and usage, and the community is open to adults younger than 60 when appropriate. Although the residence does not provide dementia care, an on-site podiatry service helps tenants manage foot health without leaving the building, and outside providers can be coordinated when additional care is needed.
Care delivery is reinforced by background-checked employees, an activity director who plans daily engagements, and 24-hour staff and security coverage. Assistance with activities of daily living is limited to standby supervision for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can self-manage eating continue to do so. Transfers can be handled with a walker, wheelchair, or standby help, giving residents flexibility as mobility needs change.
Apartments come in several layouts, and features such as private bathrooms, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability to paint or decorate are available in many—but not all—units. Routine housekeeping is included, and residents in Independent Living also have the option of building-wide laundry service. Dining operates on a set menu with snacks always on hand, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications so residents can keep health concerns in check.
Independent Living residents benefit from upkeep services that cover regular cleaning of their unit and scheduled linen or personal laundry pick-up, reducing daily chores and allowing more time to pursue interests. While most meals are served in the communal dining area, residents can request tray service during temporary illness.
Community amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, high-speed internet, communal gardens, concierge services, a library, and several special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach appointments, shopping, and events around Fenton. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
