Lakeshore Foster Home operates as a licensed residential care home, accepting adults who require close oversight for a variety of medical needs. The staff is trained to manage residents who wander during the day or night, provide ongoing wound care, monitor oxygen use, accommodate special diets, and support adults under age 60 as well as those living with diabetes—whether on oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Moderate dementia care is part of the program, with routines and supervision designed to maintain safety and orientation.
Round-the-clock staff coverage and door-alarmed exits form the backbone of security. Caregivers deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from simple standby help to one-person or two-person transfers, including lift or bed-bound moves when required. Mobility aids such as walkers and wheelchairs are routinely managed, and individual care plans are updated as conditions change.
Private and shared rooms are available, some already furnished and some ready for personal furniture; not every room includes every feature such as cable service, so families should confirm availability. Meals are prepared on a set menu, but on-order options and anytime snacks allow for flexibility. Diet modifications are arranged for low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered plans, and portion control is monitored by staff.
Dining is communal, with assistance provided for anyone who needs help cutting food or managing adaptive utensils. Residents in the independent-living section can request medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and linen or personal laundry service, enabling them to stay as self-directed as possible while still having reliable support.
On-site amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access, and a barber/beauty shop that schedules regular appointments. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical visits, shopping, and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
