Lakewood Therapy & Living Center

Dear Lakewood Nursing Home Staff, I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care you provided to our son, Allan. Your team made us feel welcome every time we visited, and it was comforting to see how you treated Allan like family. Your kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed, and we are deeply thankful for the compassion and professionalism you showed. Yall are awesome ❤️ Sincerely, Paul & Mary Cook

This place will keep people that abuse and threaten to kill your loved ones. Some nurses will deprive your loved ones of air and not care when your loved one says they can’t breathe. Your loved ones will be sitting in their own pee for hours upon end because the CNAs want to sleep instead of work. They do not give medication on time. If your loved one falls sometimes they won’t report it. CNAs also bring drugs and a gun into the facility everyday they work. It was a disgrace to work for this company.

This facility changed ownership in Sept 2022 & you can already see such a positive change & they have started remodeling & upgrading different things in the facility. The new administration staff is phenomenal & is dedicated to providing the best quality of care & customer service. The nursing staff at Lakewood goes the extra mile to care for your loved one & to make you and your family feel welcomed. Everyone is so friendly and kind, it truly feels like one huge family with all the residents and staff.

Our Mom is early in her third year of a dementia diagnosis. One year of living alone with a Sitter, one year with a son and daughter-in-law, and now we need Lakewood. From our first conversation with Tamara, to going through the application with Keiley, and every encounter we’ve had with every person - has been an absolute 10. I’ve never known kindness to pervade an entire Service Team, but Lakewood achieves it. In the words of our Mom, “I love it here.”

My father was sent here after a fall and a brief stay in the hospital. Due to the care he has been receiving here, he acts like a new man. I cannot emphasize how nice, genuinely caring, and helpful Miss Tamara and all the other people here have been (if I could remember all their names, I would thank them all individually). They have been giving my dad physical therapy, breathing treatments, and hygienic care, and he looks and acts like he’s suddenly years younger. The fact that he doesn’t want to leave and go home is a testament to his experiences here. We gratefully and enthusiastically recommend seeking care here!

My mother was at Lakewood for rehab after a small fracture. The entire staff is excellent. Very caring, friendly and dedicated to ensure their patients are well cared for. They even helped me wade through the perils of insurance insanity. Good people!

I don't understand these negative reviews. This place is amazing and if you walked a mile in a nursing home workers shoes, you probably reconsider. These people CHOSE to dedicate their time to care for other humans. Sandra Tedder, the admissions director/service worker, was amazing. From painting my mother's nails, bringing her a radio, and taking the time everyday to check on her numerous times. Ester, the activity director, is the sweetest woman and genuinely cares about everyone.

This is a wonderful place. My grandmother is always happy and well taken care of. Actually even her mother was a resident many years ago. And she lived till she was 99. And my grandmother is 98.
