Lakewood Senior Health Campus, now part of O'Neill Healthcare, sits on Detroit Ave. in Lakewood, Ohio, across from Lake Erie parks and near shopping, restaurants, churches, and hotels, which means residents can enjoy both the quiet of the neighborhood and quick trips out when needed, and the campus has a long 60-year history of serving seniors with a range of care options under one roof. The place has 114 skilled nursing beds for both short-term rehab and long-term care, 54 assisted living suites for those who need help with daily routines, and 60 independent living suites that offer privacy and the feel of an apartment but with support close at hand. You'll find dedicated professionals here-physicians including specialists in geriatrics, internal medicine, and cardiology-providing skilled nursing, cardiac and stroke rehab, memory care, palliative and hospice care, and therapies like occupational, physical, and speech, so there's help available right on-site for everything from recovery and daily needs to long-term illnesses, and they also offer aftercare for folks just out of the hospital.
The memory care program takes care of those with Alzheimer's and dementia with 24-hour support in a secure area, using memory-enhancing activities and specialized programs. Assisted living there gives a hand with bathing, dressing, meals, medication, and other things people might need, but keeps their independence in mind, and independent living means people can enjoy a maintenance-free life, choosing to join in activities or get help as needed. The campus also has respite care for caregivers who need a break and accepts Medicaid and Medicare. There are housekeeping and laundry services, move-in help, scheduled local transportation, and support for families. People get to enjoy chef-prepared meals with restaurant-style or all-day dining, including special diets for allergies and diabetes, in two dining rooms.
The place cares about activity and social life, with outdoor spaces, gardens, walking paths, a game room, two therapy gyms, movie theater, library, business rooms, event rooms, fitness room, arts and music programs, a beauty and barber salon, a spa or wellness room, as well as resident-run events. Each suite or room varies, but common features include private bathrooms, furnishings, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, phones, emergency alert systems, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and unfurnished options. Staff help with medication, daily care, and provide therapy right on-site, and there's a focus on a home-like atmosphere where people can talk with friends, join short social outings, or relax by a fountain or in the outdoor gazebo.
Lakewood Senior Health Campus is recognized within Ohio's top 10 percent for resident satisfaction, owing to its personalized attention, wide service range-independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, home health, long-term care, and hospice-and a holistic approach that includes things like pet therapy, medication management, aftercare for post-surgery or hospital stays, and help transitioning back to regular life. The campus keeps safety in mind with an emergency call system and 24-hour nurse coverage, and spaces for religious reflection or meditation. You'll see a full range of health and support offerings especially suited to changing needs, making it a solid choice for seniors wanting some independence while knowing help's right there when it matters.
