Lakewood Retirement Community

The Lakewood community is an amazing place to work because it offers a stress-free environment, promotes work-life balance, has great leaders and coworkers, and truly cares about the residents. The community itself is also beautiful, making it a desirable place for both employees and loved ones. Whether you are searching for a job or a place for your loved ones, Lakewood is an excellent choice.

Attended an introduction seminar, October 2023. Followed up with Alden Rice for a personal tour in January. Alden was very patient and knowledgeable regarding all of our questions and comments. She had made appointments in advance, and we were able to personally visit 2 of the residences of interest. During our tour, Alden made it a point to greet many of the residents by name. We found Lakewood to offer many choices for independent living, with countless activities, friendly residents and staff. Top of our list for a CCRC, should we decide to make a move.

Coming in everyone seemed pleasant and this place is very pretty but I was given false promises. Not empathic and not understanding. They obviously lack communication. One staff member tells you one thing and the other the opposite. They say theyre faith based but after certain run ins I dont believe thats true. A few staff members in administration lack professionalism and are extremely unaccommodating to new staff. Im thankful for the nice staff who did everything they could to assist me Viviana, even though she is no longer there and Debbie, the nice receptionist. Good luck to anyone who comes to work here.

We moved mom into Lakewood in December of 2022, and it has been a great experience for her. The staff has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The "campus" is beautiful. The facilities are first rate - the gym, the pool, the dining rooms, etc. And there is always something going on - celebrations, dances, shows, trips. Seems she has a more active lifestyle than her kids and grandkids now! Most importantly, Mom is happier than she's been in a long time. And surrounded by friends. We cannot say enough good things about Lakewood.

We had been contemplating moving to Lakewood and had been on the wait listfor about 5 years. Our desire was to live in a freestanding home within the community, so when we received a letter notifying us that 19 new freestanding cottages were soon to be built, we made the final decision to move forward in the process of eventually calling Lakewood home. We moved into our new home on June 21, 2023 & the experience has well exceeded all expectations. Each staff member has been so gracious in accommodating and catering to all of our requests & each went above and beyond in service. This was always done with a smile, with respect & with understanding. The organization of each department within the Lakewood community runs better than a well-oiled machine. Within a few days of our move, each department head personally visited us in our home with the purpose of introducing themselves and explaining a bit about their role in serving us. We were confident that our major decision of transitioning ourlives to Lakewood was right for us, but we were moved beyond grateful when we realized we had become the recipientsof genuinely giving employees who truly want to meet ourneeds & requests. We're thankful that we are now part of the friendly, happy & well-cared-for Lakewood family.
