Lakes Crossing Senior Care The Help You Need – The Care You Deserve At Lakes Crossing Assisted Living Community, residents do everything they want to do on their own. When assistance is required, our well-trained, warm and caring staff is there to provide it, no matter what the require. From basic happenings of daily living, such as bathing and dressing, to transportation and reminders to take medication. We give care that you and your loved one can rely on. All of our community members receive care delivered with the respect they deserve. Personalized Service and Support Every resident is different, and “assisted living services” means different things to different people. That’s why we begin with a customized assessment of support offerings requirements before our residents even move in. With this information, we can plan to meet each resident’s specific needs from day one. We also follow up after move-in to make sure the level of support is sufficient and suitable. With full-service care in mind, we can make whatever changes need to be made. As a resident ages and has more specific needs, we want to accommodate them. We can modify the amount of care delivered as the amount of require changes. In the Assisted Living Community the basic amount of care includes: Three balanced meals a day prepared by the community’s chef plus 2 snacks 24 hour staff Daily scheduled happenings and social events Dining, shopping, and special events scheduled with transportation Weekly room cleaning Transportation to medical appointments General health monitoring In the Seasons Memory Care community you have a more tailored program, since dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s, is a progressive disease. Residents have room to walk around inside and outside. They have porches filled with rocking chairs and tables. They have many happenings to stimulate brain function and retain smiles on their faces. We securely and closely monitor our Seasons Memory Care community. Many times our Assisted Living community joins in for games. Consistent and separately tailored programs. There are many different forms of dementia, caused either by disease or trauma. All are troubling not only for those with the disease, but also for their families. With dementia, a person’s world gets smaller, less certain, less safe. Giving consistent care and support for someone with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia can take all your energy, your emotions, and even your family relationships.

Come visit and see firsthand how we have cared for our members and their families. Key Principles of Our Memory Care Programming Evaluate each resident to understand his or her special interests. Keep verbal instruction to a minimum: simple, clear and pleasant. Consider more than just one “right” way of doing things. Cue members during happenings, encouraging them to participate without assistance, yet assist when indicated. Provide immediate and frequent verbal encouragement. Build on skills and capabilities. Problem-solve beginning with simple to concrete and concrete to abstract. Train community members to work from left to right and top to bottom. Use repetition to promote success and positive engagement. Use programs that build and help retain skills and capabilities. For Seniors with Memory Loss, Repetition and Positive Engagement Strengthens Connections and Celebrates Life.
