Kind and caring

It's an older facility, could use some refresh/updates but we were happy with her care. I thought the gentleman who assisted us with getting her on Scan from Kaiser to save her money was a god send.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I was impressed by the spacious resident rooms that have a pleasant, modern style. From the Caregivers to the Med Techs and Activities Coordinator, patience, warmth, flexibility and excellence are clearly evident. Family and friends of residents feel very welcome in the facility when visiting. Extra-wide hallways and a central, enclosed outdoor walking area are added touches that allow residents the freedom to walk securely at any time.

I visited this facility

I visited Lakewood Gardens. I noticed a lot of residents there could walk around as much, but the facility's setup is a square and they have dividers, like two halls, that they can go around in and they could take different routes. Since my mother wanders, I don't know if she'll be able to find herself back to where she started. Most of the residents seemed like they were willing to talk to her, though. She was just a little hesitant about being there. It's nice and it's close to where she …

Lakewood Gardens review

The staff is great and the place is clean. However, it foes feel understaffed and can be tough finding a staff member at night. Activities are very minimal. Residents that are higher functioning can go to activity room or not. No one doing activities with the handful of residents that are higher functioning. Residents possessions disappear and don't get returned - if found else where.

Recommended for moderate to severe dementia patients

The staff at Lakewood Gardens have been very friendly and communicative. It does feel a little lite on the number of staff - especially on nights and weekends. There are too many residents in the activity room with only one staff member. The move in process was straight forward and without issues. The meals are above average - from what I have seen. I would recommend Lakewood Gardens for moderate to severe dementia patients. Mild dementia patients may not get enough mental stimulation or activities, though.
