The Landings at Reed Station Crossing is a senior living community in Carbondale, Illinois, set on 6.5 acres next to a protected wildlife conservation area, and you'll always see Lazy Moon Lake right on the grounds, which is handy if you enjoy lake views or fishing from the dock, and there's even a large veranda and outdoor courtyard with a firepit and koi pond where people like to sit and visit with friends or family whenever the weather allows. The facility is designed for folks aged 55 and up and offers several care types, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia, skilled nursing, respite care, and continuing care in a comfortable apartment setting, so there's 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments as well as studios, and Magnolia Suites for expanded memory care. The apartments are spacious, set up for easy movement, and some come with kitchenettes, air-conditioning, and options for ground floor or garden views, plus the whole community has wireless internet.
Lazy Moon Lake isn't just an ornament, as residents take advantage of the scenic spot for walks, bird watching, and fishing, and there's an outdoor garden and a putting green for those who like to keep their hands busy or stretch their legs, while inside you'll find a community kitchen, craft and activity rooms, a lounge, a dedicated library and technology center, a theater room, and a billiard room set up for pool, darts, and interactive games. There's also a spa room with a whirlpool tub and heat lamps, a beauty and barber shop on site, and washer and dryers are located on every floor for added convenience. The community's pet-friendly policy means that residents can bring cats or dogs, and there's plenty of space for walks.
Meals are served restaurant style at the Southernaire Restaurant, and there are options for low or no sodium diets, and guests can join for meals in a private dining area that's set aside for small parties or family get-togethers. Housekeeping services and maintenance-free living are included in the rent, which is all-inclusive, and scheduled transportation is available for residents and guests for errands, appointments, or group excursions, and there's parking on-site for those who still drive.
The wellness program includes on-site therapy services from EmpowerMe, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The staff provides help with daily living, medication management, ambulatory care, diabetic support, incontinence care, and high acuity care. The memory care program uses the Focused Mind Program, which assesses cognitive needs and tailors support for those with memory loss, and Magnolia Suites in memory care come semi-furnished with a kitchenette. Community activities are planned throughout the week, including art classes, Bible study, book clubs, day trips, gardening clubs, live music, yoga, stretching classes, trivia, and wine tasting, so there's something for nearly every interest. Residents are encouraged to join these activities and to be as independent as possible, and the community is built around providing quality care along with social and leisure opportunities.
