Lakewood Senior Living in Springfield, Missouri, delivers assisted living backed by a secured environment. Residents receive daily help with personal tasks while staying connected to on-site medical professionals who manage diabetes care, oversee respite or short-term stays, and provide regular physician visits. Speech therapists are available for residents who need help maintaining or improving communication skills, and the secure design of the campus adds another layer of safety for individuals who might be at risk of wandering.
Additional clinical resources include a dedicated memory-care program as well as incontinence and ambulatory support. The community can continue serving residents through medication management, hospice coordination, and rehabilitation services from occupational, physical, and podiatry specialists. Apartments and common spaces are arranged to accommodate memory loss, creating consistent visual cues and minimized hazards throughout what is essentially a memory-care-only setting situated within the broader assisted-living program.
Apartments come in several layouts, and not every unit contains every feature. Options may include wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, private decks or balconies, and individual climate control. Common areas feature a central fireplace, piano or organ, landscaped outdoor spaces, and designated parking. Pets are welcome in designated residences, provided the resident can care for the animal or has arranged support.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining available for residents who prefer a flexible schedule. The culinary team produces guest meals and offers no-sugar and low-sodium selections in addition to standard menus. Three daily meals are included, and staff can adjust portions or textures to match individual care plans.
Residents have access to an activity center for clubs, chair yoga, reminiscence and sensory programs, and intergenerational events. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool encourage daily movement, while a jacuzzi offers a place to relax sore muscles. A library and computer lounge, happy hour gatherings, live-music performances, birthday celebrations, and planned social outings round out the schedule, allowing individuals to select the mix of fitness, learning, and entertainment that best fits their routine.
