Lakeview Manor Senior Living sits on five well-kept acres overlooking White Deer Lake, giving residents calm views and a peaceful spot to stroll or sit. The community's known for its family-like atmosphere and supportive staff-folks have called them helpful, joyful, and kind, with awards like "Most Friendly" to prove it. Residents live comfortably and safely, with options for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so whether someone needs just a bit of help with daily tasks or more specialized support, there's something to fit every stage.
Each independent living unit has two bedrooms, one and a half baths, a roomy living area, and a kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, plus a laundry room with a washer and dryer, which makes it easy for residents to keep up their routines. The spaces are unfurnished and cable-ready, with residents paying their own electric and phone bills if they want those hooked up, but trash pick-up, pest control, water, and sewage come included, along with regular maintenance. The grounds are well-lit, lovely, and easy to get around, with carports at every unit entrance.
Meals get plenty of attention at Lakeview Manor, with a family-style dining room serving up southern, home-cooked food made to taste good and meet different diets. Each resident sits down to one meal a day and gets a menu shaped around their own nutrition needs. The community's won the "Best Meals and Dining" award, showing folks do appreciate the food. Activities are planned all week through a Lifestyle Calendar, including games, crafts, trips to Tybee Island and local dinners, yoga, meditation, and exercise classes, and the "Best Activities in Senior Living" award backs up that Lakeview Manor really tries to make life lively and social.
On the care side, residents can expect daily safety checks, access to 24/7 nurse practitioner oversight, medication management, non-ambulatory and diabetic care, and help with things like bathing or getting dressed in the assisted living wing, which is newly renovated and has options for residents to customize their rooms. Memory care is available for folks with Alzheimer's or other memory challenges, in a safe setting designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. In independent living, handyman services and emergency call buttons bring peace of mind, and there's even complimentary transportation for errands or outings. Extra safety comes from 24-hour video surveillance and an electronic medication monitoring system.
The staff include an executive director who keeps operations smooth, experienced nursing like an LPN and DHS, plus aides who can also provide home care to seniors living nearby. Residents get a chance to join in many shared activities but keep their privacy and individual preferences with personalized care plans. For those who want independent living, the cottages let them live self-reliantly with help close by if needed. The facility encourages a family feel, but always respects privacy.
People who have lived here or visited often point out the friendly staff and calm, safe environment. With a five-star rating from reviews, and a series of "Best of Senior Living" awards for care, meals, and memory support, Lakeview Manor stands out for reliable service rather than just flash. The place is locally owned and shares connections to other area communities like The Gardens at Southern Manor and Southern Manor, but it's got its own quiet and gracious rhythm, with opportunities to meet neighbors over lunch or during a lakeside walk, and a homey, relaxing pace for all who live there.
