So, if you or an older loved one is considering retirement living in Coldwater, Michigan, we invite you to explore our lovely and warm community. We've shared insights about Lakehouse Coldwater in this guide, including the type and quality of care we provide and how we support healthy aging, so please read on.

Individualized Personal Care Plans

Personal care refers to the help provided to individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).

A person's ability to perform ADLs without relying on others is a critical measure of independence. Anyone can experience impairments with this ability (for instance, due to an illness or injury). However, older adults are at a higher risk because of the many physiological changes that aging brings.

Indeed, according to an article published in Nature.com, in the U.S., about seven in ten adults 65 and older need ongoing help because they've lost the ability to perform at least two ADLs.

Some examples of ADLs that older adults need help with are:

Bathing or showering
Dressing
Laundry
Medication management
Continence care
Housekeeping

The good news is that Lakehouse Coldwater specializes in reliable assisted living in Coldwater, MI. We deliver top-notch senior care for older adults who need help with ADLs and take things several notches higher by tailoring our personal care plans to each resident's specific needs.

By providing personalized senior living services in Coldwater, we ensure our residents:

Receive adequate and compassionate support for the ADLs they need help with
Get the assistance they need while still enjoying privacy and personal space
Retain some semblance of independence by still being able to do the things they can do on their own

At LakeHouse Coldwater, our compassionate team of personal care providers is always ready to help when needed. Our residents can enjoy independence when they want it and receive around-the-clock support as required.

Supportive Services That Encourage Independence

Receiving supportive services and senior care in Coldwater may seem counterintuitive and the last thing you'd want to maintain independence. However, there are several ways it can help you or your older loved one remain independent for longer.

A perfect example is the weekly housekeeping service we provide at LakeHouse Coldwater. Our staff diligently keeps our older residents' apartment homes clean, safe, sanitary, and comfy. By doing so, we can help them maintain good physical health; as the U.S. CDC points out, regularly cleaning surfaces can help people stay healthy and prevent the spread of disease-causing germs.

Regular housekeeping also helps keep older adults' homes clutter-free. A cluttered home isn't good, as it can contribute to higher stress and increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls.

As the National Council on Aging (NCOA) explains, falls threaten older Americans' safety and independence. They're so common that one in four Americans 65 and older experience them each year, with over half receiving hospital care.

Senior-Friendly Programs That Encourage Better Physical Health

At LakeHouse Coldwater, we understand the connection between healthy aging and staying physically active. As an article published in the Korean Journal of Family Medicine explains, there's a connection between many health issues and a lack of physical activity, such as:

Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Overweight or obesity
Diabetes
Heart diseases
Metabolic syndrome
Respiratory diseases
Osteoporosis
Dementia
Depression and anxiety

All those long-term health problems can reduce older adults' quality of life and independence. So, to help the residents of LakeHouse Coldwater, our dedicated senior care professionals create a robust calendar of physical and fitness activities. In our community, we always encourage our seniors to participate in activities like:

Sports, including basketball, bowling, and golf
Morning exercises
Chair yoga
Wellness programs

Our community also has beautiful outdoor spaces and walking pathways for residents to enjoy taking strolls. We also have an on-site wellness center and activity room.

Activities for Better Cognitive Health and Social Engagement

Cognitive health refers to a person's thinking, memorization, and learning skills. So, it's crucial for older adults, as it helps them manage many daily tasks and maintain independence longer.

Good mental health is just as vital because it lets older adults feel great about themselves and function at their best. Mentally and emotionally healthy seniors can make sound decisions and judgments and feel socially connected.

Our assisted living community, LakeHouse Coldwater, promotes healthy cognitive and mental functions with various engaging social events and programs. Here, residents can partake in fun activities that engage cognitive and socialization skills, such as:

Art workshops
Cooking sessions
Musical performances
Movie nights
Education lectures from guest speakers
Bingo, UNO, and other card and board games

Our community also encourages residents, friends, and family to stay connected by offering guest accommodations.

Nutritious and Delicious Dining Made Social

At LakeHouse Coldwater, our apartment homes have fully equipped kitchenettes that residents can use whenever they feel like cooking or whipping up healthy snacks. However, we also understand that preparing meals for oneself daily can be tedious and time-consuming, especially for older adults.

Therefore, we ensure our residents can enjoy three nutritious and delicious meals daily, which our talented culinary staff makes from fresh ingredients. We serve them in our warm and welcoming dining room, encouraging more socialization with fellow residents. We also offer in-room dining for seniors who want some quality me-time.
