Lake George Assisted Living in Columbia, MO is structured around a single level of care: assisted living. Licensed nursing staff and trained caregivers are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, blood pressure checks, glucose monitoring, and other routine clinical tasks ordered by a resident’s physician. Residents receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, and each apartment is linked to an emergency response system that lets staff reach the resident quickly if a health concern arises.
Beyond the core medical services, the community coordinates on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy through outside providers, schedules transportation to local physician appointments, and offers regular health and wellness assessments to adjust care plans as needs change. Short-term respite stays are available when rooms are open, and families can monitor a loved one’s status through scheduled care conferences with the nursing team. Housekeeping, laundry, and basic maintenance are handled by staff so residents can focus on recovery, social activities, or simply daily routines.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments equipped with individual climate controls, private bathrooms with walk-in showers, and basic cable. Some layouts add kitchenettes, extra storage, or small patio access, but not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping and linen service are standard, and residents can arrange additional cleaning for a fee. The building is single-level and wheelchair accessible, and pets are allowed in select units; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
The dining program provides three meals a day served in a common dining room, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to ensure compliance with sodium, diabetic, and other physician-ordered diet plans. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and residents who are ill or recovering from a procedure can request tray service to their apartments. Guests may purchase meals with advance notice, and the kitchen staff collects resident feedback monthly to adjust portion sizes, seasoning, and menu variety.
