Crested Crane Adult Family Home sits in a quiet Lakewood neighborhood near Gravelly Lake, where up to six residents can get help and care in a homelike setting with private and semi-private rooms, many rooms having private baths, and showers built with grab bars for safety, and the whole house easily used by someone in a wheelchair or using a walker, with an emergency call system for added peace of mind, and there's always an awake caregiver at night and two caregivers during the day, along with trained medical staff available when needed. The care covers all sorts of needs, with services in assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even home care, so folks dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, mental illness, developmental disabilities, or issues from strokes, brain injuries, paralysis, and vision or hearing loss will find specialized help, including feeding tube support, Hoyer lift transfers, catheter and colostomy care, blood glucose monitoring, and medication management, while end-of-life hospice and respite stays ranging from a few weeks to a few months are available too.
Residents get home-cooked meals from a 4-week rotating menu with fresh fruit every day, plus kosher and vegetarian choices if needed, served in the dining room for company or privately in their own space, and a snack or two can be found, and the homestyle kitchen always focuses on nutrition and quality. Housekeeping, laundry, including dry cleaning, and regular cleaning keep the place tidy, and laundry piles don't last long; if anyone needs oxygen, wound care, or help for special medical conditions, those services are on hand, with MD visits and pharmacy delivery to manage medication visits. Wi-Fi with fast internet, free satellite and cable TV, and even local sports channels are included so folks can stay connected or catch up on favorite shows, and guest Wi-Fi means visitors aren't cut off.
People find it peaceful here, with social ties forming quickly in a small group, and there's a full calendar of indoor and outdoor activities made to help seniors keep their minds and bodies active, along with easy trips to local stores, emergency care, dining spots, and doctors or pharmacies if needed, since transportation is available for a fee and the bus line isn't far. The staff takes care in making tailored plans so every resident gets the daily help, physical or occupational therapy, podiatry visits, or extra support they need, whether for daily tasks or more complicated care, trying to make sure everyone feels comfortable and at home. Room choices, kosher options, private bathrooms, and an atmosphere with air conditioning and a gentle pace make for a space where privacy, comfort, and personal dignity matter, and the awards for meals, staff friendliness, and activities all point back to how the people here try to help everyone thrive in a setting that feels more like family than a big nursing home. Payment can be private or through Medicaid, so that adds to flexibility in planning, and being close to a hospital helps in case emergencies crop up.
