In-Room Medical Services
One of the advantages of living at Lakewood Gardens is the ability to access healthcare services directly in the comfort of one’s room. This approach minimizes stress, supports faster recovery, and allows continuity of care.
Ultrasound Diagnostics
Mobile ultrasound specialists can perform imaging directly on-site. This service enables quick and non-invasive evaluation without transferring the resident to a hospital, which is especially valuable for individuals with mobility challenges.
Home Health Support
Home Health services provide regular or on-demand nursing support, such as medication management, wound care, or post-operative recovery. Services are tailored based on a plan created by physicians and caregivers.
Pharmacy Integration
Through coordinated pharmacy services, residents can have prescriptions delivered, monitored, and managed without delays. This ensures adherence to treatment plans and prevents medication-related complications.
Medical Recommendation
It is highly recommended that residents undergo quarterly wellness evaluations with their general practitioner. This helps monitor chronic conditions, reduce the risk of emergency incidents, and ensure a proactive approach to health.
Additionally, residents can request simultaneous visits from multiple providers — such as a physician, nurse, or even an ophthalmologist — all within their own room, ensuring comprehensive care and minimizing disruption.
