About the Local Nursing Homes
Lakeside Nursing and
Rehabilitation
Center
Lakeside provides numerous services for
their residents, such as rehabilitation, transitional care for patients coming
out of a hospital, respite care for those in need of a short-term home, skin
and wound care, hospice services, and dementia care. They organize daily
activities for the residents to keep their minds and bodies active, and to
allow them to socialize with other residents of the home. These activities
include games, movies, social gatherings, and visits from local musicians and
craftspeople.
Lakeside also houses a variety
of domestic pets, such as birds, fish, and rabbits, for the enjoyment of the
residents. Because of the
CEP
Garden Project,
Lakeside
residents now have a beautiful garden in which to enjoy the outdoors and get
some fresh air.
