Applewood Our House South Lakewood is phenomenal! My uncle was blessed to have the team at Applewood Our House offer him love, support, care, and nurturing during his final days. These folks are a blessing! There are no words sufficient to express how grateful I was to have them caring for my uncle.
My husband was a resident at South Lakewood for 8 months, from June, 2018 to February, 2019. My family and I were so very pleased with the care that Dick received during his residency there! He was physically well cared for, that is always clean and neat, and always treated very well...with tenderness and kindness. The staff were loving and kind to him, and to all of my family when we visited!
My dad started having bizarre behavior issues that we did not understand. He lived with us for a few years and despite some memory problems and a little confusion we did great. Then the delusions and paranoia began. For 4 months we worked with doctors and facilities trying to find a place willing and able to care for my father's special needs. I'm so glad we found Applewood. They have been there not only for him but for us - helping us understand the disease and what it does and providing us with coping mechanisms and ways to continue to have meaningful communication as he declines.
I love the personalized, loving care in the small environment of 16 residents. My husband has been a resident for almost a year. The staff have learned who he was & what he finds joy in. This is huge for quality of life for someone with advanced dementia. And, I feel they genuinely care about me. If you are looking for quality of care & quality of life for your loved one with dementia (any form!), I encourage you to visit and see for yourself.
Really enjoy the team at this home, great leadership and the residents have a blast with activities. The home is set up to be easy to get around for residents with dementia. Love the home feel.
My mother has been at Applewood Our House IV for 2 years. While there has been frequent staff turnover, every single caregiver has been kind and gentle. The house is clean, bright, and welcoming. The dog adds an additional home-like feel. Lots of activities and outings for the residents (and family if they can go) but no pressure to do anything they don't want to do. Mom's never complained about the food which seems appealing with lots of variety. I visit Mom weekly and while she is not always out of bed (her choice), she is always clean and in clean clothes or nightgown.
The house manager, Barbara, does an incredible job! She is always available for any questions or concerns I have and has helped me so much!
Thank you ...We were very fortunate to find such a loving home for dad during his last months with us .. Barbara Stewart is a true angel And we will always remember with the highest degree of affection your staff and the TLC they offer to everyone who walks through those doors. Thank you for the wonderful photos of Daddy... Sincerely, Barb DAntuono
My husband has now been a resident at Applewood South Lakewood for 3 months. It has become "his home" thanks to the loving care of the staff led by nurse manager Barbara. Bill's every need is met! I love that the staff are interested & respond to the stories we share about his life and what he still values & enjoys. Each afternoon when I come to visit, as we approach the kitchen counter, they are already preparing his favorite treat, an ice cold root beer. Families are engaged, residents are so caring to each other. Can't forget to mention Dolly, our wonderful house dog. Thank you, Applewood, for walking the journey with my husband & our family!
My dad received amazing care in Applewood IV. The staff treated him with love and respect. Finding out about this place was a Godsend.
