Lyndale Abilene offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to choose the level of day-to-day support they want while remaining in the same community as their needs change. Assisted Living provides help with activities of daily living, while Independent Living is designed for those who can manage most tasks on their own but prefer the convenience of on-site services and a maintenance-free setting.
Medical oversight is extensive. Residents have access to diabetes management and scheduled visits from speech, physical, and occupational therapists. Nurses coordinate medications and monitor infusion schedules, while on-site podiatry helps with routine foot care. The campus operates as a secured community with a 24-hour emergency call system, and specialized memory care areas are designed exclusively to accommodate residents experiencing memory loss. Incontinence and ambulatory care are also available, and the staff manages prescriptions through a structured medication management program.
Apartments range from studio layouts to larger units and may feature kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite television, air conditioning, and views of landscaped outdoor areas. Some residences offer a central fireplace, piano or organ access, and convenient parking. Pet-friendly policies allow cats or small dogs subject to community guidelines. Not all accommodations include every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour.
Dining is provided three times a day by a professional chef, with restaurant-style service and an all-day menu for flexible mealtimes. Guests can purchase meals when visiting. Menus are planned to meet varied nutritional needs, including specialized diets, and staff members are available to assist residents who need help with ordering or portion control.
The activity calendar features an on-site activity center, library and computer lounge, arts and crafts studio, and indoor and outdoor walking paths. Residents can join clubs, attend happy hour, practice yoga or chair yoga, and participate in fitness classes. Scheduled events include live music, karaoke, birthday parties, dances, swimming, and off-site social outings. Reminiscence and sensory-based programs, as well as intergenerational activities, are offered for cognitive engagement.
