Small Residential Memory Care Homes
There’s a lot of life happening at Applewood Our House Lakewood. With a kitchen at the heart of the house, inviting gathering spaces, and a garden to enjoy, our residential memory care community gives residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia a place to settle into daily life with the support they need.
Since opening in September 2012, Applewood Our House Lakewood has welcomed residents into a home designed for 16 people. With four private rooms and six companion rooms, the setting allows our caregivers to get to know each resident’s personality, preferences, and daily needs.
Outside, a shaded walking path and raised garden beds offer opportunities to enjoy fresh air, tend to plants, or spend a little time in the sunshine. And there’s Etta, our resident house dog, who’s always part of life around the house.

Companion rooms have a closet divider for added privacy and can also be arranged with a separate sitting area. Our floor plan offers a closer look at how the bedrooms and shared spaces come together.
