Lakewood Retirement Community

Join us in sharing our gratitude to our chaplains this Spiritual Care Week! We are deeply grateful for the care that our chaplains Hannah Creager and Julie Walton extend to our community each day.

October 18-24 is Spiritual Care Week, and we are honored to celebrate the chaplains and spiritual care professionals who walk alongside residents and families through life's joys, challenges, and transitions.

Whether offering a listening ear, leading a prayer, coordinating programming, or providing comfort during difficult times, these team members help nurture the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

We're also grateful to the donors whose generosity supports programs and services that enrich residents' lives across our communities.

Join us in thanking our spiritual care teams and our community chaplains for the compassion and care they share every day. 💙 Leave a note of appreciation in the comments.

Active Aging Week reminds us that staying active supports both body and mind! Yesterday we laced up our walking shoes for our Lucky Duck Mental Health Walk and participated in NIFS Move Your Mood during Mental Health Awareness Week. Together, we worked toward NIFS' nationwide goal of 5,000 resident workouts in a single day, proving that every step, smile, and movement can help boost our mood and well-being. 💙🚶🦆

Active Aging Week is officially underway at Lakewood! We kicked off the celebration with a special Blessing of the Animals ceremony, honoring the joy, companionship, and sense of purpose our pets bring to our lives. 🐾💖

As we begin a week dedicated to healthy aging through movement, learning, connection, and engagement, we're reminded that wellness includes nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Here's to a week of discovery, connection, and Lakewood Life in Motion!

The United Nations established the International Day of Older Persons in 1990, with the first observance held on October 1, 1991. This day recognizes the contributions of older adults and raises awareness of issues that affect aging populations.

At Lakewood, we celebrate the experiences, wisdom, talents, and stories each resident brings to our community. From sharing lifelong passions to building new friendships and exploring new opportunities, our residents remind us that every chapter of life has something meaningful to offer. 💙

Happy National Good Neighbor Day! 🩵

Today, we celebrate the small acts of kindness that help make our community feel like home. Whether it's offering a friendly smile or lending a helping hand, being a good neighbor can make a big difference. Here are five simple ways to brighten someone's day at Lakewood:

✅ Stop and chat with someone you don't know well.
✅ Stop by and check on a neighbor you haven't seen around lately. A quick visit can brighten their day and show you care.
✅ Invite someone to join you for a meal or event.
✅ Share a smile, kind word, or note of encouragement.

Good neighbors create strong communities, and we're grateful for the kindness and support our residents show one another every day.

Lakewood recently celebrated Constitution and Citizenship Day by honoring staff members who have become U.S. citizens or are currently pursuing citizenship. We also enjoyed a "get to know you" portion of the event, where we learned more about where everyone was from and celebrated the diverse cultures represented across our team. The celebration concluded with refreshments inspired by the home countries of our honored staff members.
