Villages of Lake Highlands provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving families one location that can meet changing needs over time. The community accepts residents who wander day or night, are at risk for elopement, have behavioral issues, require oxygen, or live with advanced dementia. Younger adults under 60 are eligible, and the staff manages complex diabetic regimens, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Special dietary requirements are accommodated, making the community suitable for residents who need closely monitored nutrition plans.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on site 24 hours a day, and additional nursing support on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift works alongside 24-hour security personnel. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, door alarms, and WanderGuard technology. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Care aides deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can handle every level of transfer—walker, wheelchair, standby, one-person or two-person transfer, Hoyer lift, and bed-bound care—allowing residents to age in place even as mobility declines.
Apartments come in several layouts; some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate to their taste. Because features vary by unit, it is recommended to verify specific accommodations during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional standards, with snacks available between scheduled dining times. The kitchen team can modify textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to manage diabetes, cardiac needs, or physician-ordered diets, ensuring residents continue to receive appropriate nutrition without leaving the community.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, high-speed internet, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Scheduled transportation helps with off-campus appointments and 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.
