Lawndale Manor Assisted Living sits in a quiet, wooded area on Lakeside Drive in Garner, North Carolina, where people say the air stays peaceful and the birds are often louder than the road, and folks coming up the walk can see a building with brick siding and big white shutters, a shaded front porch, and a water fountain out front where residents can sit for some air or walk in the garden under tall trees, which always feels nice on a warm day. The staff gives help with basic needs like bathing, dressing, and medication, and there's always someone around-nurses are on-site for emergencies around the clock, with registered nursing staff working 12-16 hour shifts and supporting both independent and non-ambulatory residents, making sure everyone stays safe with a 24-hour call system, which means nobody's ever far from help if they press that button near their bed or chair.
The building, open since 1994, offers private and semi-private rooms, each one set up with a bathroom, central air, cable TV, Wi-Fi, kitchenette, and a choice of furnished or unfurnished arrangements so people can make themselves at home, and you'll always find the units have an emergency alert system, wide doors, and easy-to-move furniture for comfort. Three chef-prepared meals come every day with snacks between, and a dietician makes sure options fit health needs, so folks with diabetes or other conditions can get meals that don't upset their sugar, plus plenty of plain old good food for the rest, and a dining room lets people eat together if they like.
Inside, the community has a fitness room, movie theater, library, activity room, game room, spa, beauty salon, and places for music and arts, as well as outdoor patios and walking paths where folks tend to wander or rest in the sun, and the staff organizes daily programs, social events, clubs, and outings around town for shopping or doctor visits, while residents run some clubs themselves, keeping everybody busy-there's bingo, arts and crafts, movie nights, book clubs, gardening, holiday parties, live music, and fitness classes, with devotional activities both onsite and offsite for spiritual support.
Housekeeping and laundry come included, so no need to fuss over chores, and transportation services get people to appointments or on group outings, while folks needing more help-like with insulin shots or memory care-can get it, thanks to coordination with doctors, therapists, and visiting specialists. Haircuts, fingernail care, and spa treatments are available, and concierge staff help with special requests or planning moves, which makes settling in smoother for newcomers and their families.
The community has long had a reputation for kindness, with a friendly staff always available to greet visitors, and a philosophy that honors the stories and dignity of seniors. Lawndale Manor offers several living options: assisted living, active adult and independent living, adult day care, memory care, as well as nursing and rehab, and accepts different kinds of payment, including Medicaid, private insurance, and long-term care, so many families find options here. The rates are all-inclusive, meaning meals, staffing, and extra care are part of the price with no hidden costs, which helps folks plan ahead without surprises, and the facility holds a 3.0 rating from a few reviews, showing steady, reliable service through the years. Over time, people have recognized Lawndale Manor for its attention to care and the sense of community it brings to residents and families alike.
