Overview of Lakewood Senior Living

At 23 years in operation, Lakewood Senior Living has been part of Springfield’s south side long enough to develop a track record. The single-story, 67-bed community on S Robberson Ave, run by Lakewood Residential Care, LLC, covers a wide span of care: assisted living, memory care, respite stays, and hospice, all under one roof. That range matters when a resident’s needs shift and the family doesn’t want to start over somewhere new.

The building is scaled to feel manageable. Studio and one-bedroom units come in several floor plans, and the ground-level layout removes the friction of elevators and stairwells for residents with mobility or cognitive challenges. The neighborhood is car-dependent (Walk Score 44), but the community offers transportation, so outside appointments don’t become a logistical problem.

Amenities lean toward activity and comfort rather than atmosphere alone. There’s a fitness center, a physical therapy room, an arts and crafts center, and garden beds for residents who want something to tend. An outdoor fireplace rounds out the common spaces. The kitchen leans Southern, with a bistro for residents who want to eat more socially than in a formal dining room. Pets are welcome.

Current occupancy sits at 67%, with 45 of 67 beds filled. For a community that spans multiple care levels, that number reflects available capacity rather than any structural issue. Amber Cox serves as administrator.

Lakewood is a practical fit for families managing memory-related diagnoses or approaching end-of-life planning, particularly those who want a modest, ground-floor setting where care can follow the resident as their needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Missouri

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Missouri?

Assisted living in Missouri is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Missouri Medicaid cover assisted living?

Missouri Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Missouri) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 285 assisted living facilities in Missouri. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Missouri?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Missouri, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Missouri?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
