My Mom has been with Lakewood Villa or several years. She was previously more autonomous but needed more help as she aged. Lakewood Villa does a great job taking care of my Mother and I feel blessed to have their help. They allow me to visit her frequently and are very responsive to any request or concern. The medical care is attentive, professional, and kind. They have activities she can participate in if she chooses to and the periodic Care Meetings always leave me with peace of mind. Thank you Lakewood Villa care team!

Do not let the look of the facility fool you! While it may be an older building, the care is the best! The staff is caring and approachable and they are well trained in dealing with residents with dementia and brain injuries. They truly care for the residents and their families and it shows when you walk in the door!

My husband is currently in this facility. He’s well taken care of. It doesn’t smell like a nursing home. It’s clean. Everyone interacts with the patients. The have lots of activities. As a retired nurse I highly recommend Lakewood Villa.

This place epitomizes the old saying that getting good care isn't about how fancy a facility it, but how caring the staff who work there are. The nurses, therapist, directors and administrators at Lakewood Villa are bar none some of the best in the business. Other Skilled facilities should consider following Lakewood Villa's example. These staff there are caring, respectful and utterly amazing at what they do!!! I would lest these people care for my family any day.

The facility is an older facility, but don't let that deceive you! The staff at Lakewood Villa are beyond incredible. This is the third facility we have had our loved one at and by far, my loved one is the happiest and most cared for at Lakewood Villa. The transition to a new facility is stressful. The staff at Lakewood Villa welcomed our loved one and our family with open arms, answering all of our questions and reassuring us that our loved one would be treated with respect and as a member of the Lakewood Villa family. My loved one is safe, well cared for, and happy, which is the best outcome we could ask for during a difficult time. A special shout-out to Ellen S. for all of her help (and patience) in helping us to navigate the Medicaid process and understanding our loved one's financial situation. What a blessing Lakewood Villa has been for our family and our loved one. THANK YOU!

How our free service works

Colorado asks us to share this in writing.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy, which are marked Sponsored or Verified on our site.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

By submitting, you're okay with us and Lakewood Villa reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families; if you move in, the community may pay us a referral fee, never you.
