Handcrafted Homestyle Cooking

At Lakeside Gardens Seniors Community, enjoy 3 freshly-prepared meals daily at your own pace in our lakeside dining room beside the fireplace. We offer nutritious home-cooked meals served to you daily, and cater to your dietary requirements. Our comfortable atmosphere extends to our dining room, where restaurant-style seating means more time for enjoying your meals.

Seniors Home Support Services

Additional support services are available to Lakeside Gardens Seniors on an as needed basis such as assistance with dressing, personal care, medication assistance, eye drops, foot care, and coordinated with outside agencies. Lakeside Gardens offers a weekly complimentary drop-in clinic that includes personalized blood pressure readings with our registered nurse and group discussion on topics of interest to our residents.

“I have lived at Lakeside Gardens since 2004 and enjoyed every minute. It is a beautiful spot on Long Lake and one can look out of the dining room and enjoy a fantastic array of flowers. The staff are always quick in being helpful and will help you book your appointments and arrange the Lakeside bus to take you and bring you back home. The food is very good and well thought out for healthy living and there is a handyman that will fix things for you.”
