Types of care available in Polk County, MO
When it comes to the activities they haven't really had a chance to get our anywhere because of the weather. However, our loved one likes it there. It makes it much easier to know she is so loved by all the people who take care of her there.
I am happy with the care from the staff at this community. This is a smaller community. The community offers a lot of great meals that are home cooked. The community is clean and a nice positive environment. I like that she is happy with they have a dog for her to enjoy. I would highly recommend this community for excellent care and value.
This was not an easy decision to make. Not at all. We cared for my mother for a few years at home but wandering in the middle of the night started and it became a safety issue for my mother. Having toured several facilities in the Springfield Missouri area, both my sister and I agreed that the Arbors at Lakewood stood out among their peers. Since my mothers arrival, I can't express how reassured I am that we made the right choice. This provides me as much peace as this difficult decision can. If you have a loved one who suffers from Alzheimer's/Dementia I highly recommend this facility and their genuinely caring staff. From administration to activities and meals and their flexible "Best Friends" approach.
