Employment Opportunity at Lakewood Home. We are seeking a part-time night shift employee to work from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. If you possess a passion for caring for the elderly and cooking skills, we may be the ideal workplace for you. Residents are asleep except for occasional monitoring to the bathroom, so the ability to bake and cook are preferred to help prepare meals for the next day. No prior experience is necessary, as we provide training for all employees. This role is suitable for young persons or retired individuals seeking part-time employment and is manageable for individuals of all ages. Notably, one of our retiring employees is in her 80s. If interested, please message me or contact us at 812-354-8387.

"To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth."
Happy Labor Day from a generation who worked hard and appreciated having employment to support their families. Most remained at the same job for most of their lives and saved for the future. They are a generation to learn from, honor, appreciate, and respect. Come out and join us anytime or stop by for a visit. Our residents would love to share their story with you. 
Here are a few pictures from today’s party.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so behold this magnificent artwork by our talented artists at Lakewood; we are thinking about a local art show exhibition.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting two special guests: Kenadie Houchins, the reigning Miss Northern States Indiana Teen, and Naomi Boyd, the reigning Miss Northern States Indiana Pr***en. It is cool that these local gals share a close bond of friendship and this title together. Our residents had the opportunity to engage with them in a question-and-answer session, during which they demonstrated exceptional poise and knowledge about their pageant experiences. These two young individuals are working together towards their goals, all while striving to secure college scholarships through their pageant participation. Both Kenadie and Naomi have established their own platforms: Naomi is currently fundraising for a local animal shelter, while Kenadie is raising funds to support children with medical needs. They are both exceptional young women who display beauty, intelligence, compassion, and are bursting with personality. They are both sure to be leaders in the future.
We suggested that they would be ideal advocates for a senior pageant catering to individuals aged 75 and above. Why not? We are proud to have among us a 1947 homecoming queen, Virginia Polen and a 1956 Miss Pike County, Mary Ashby or better known to all as Mousie. Despite the passage of time, all of our ladies and gentlemen remain beautiful inside and out and we think they win everyday!

Lakewood Home lost a good friend this morning.
We remember him, celebrate him and miss him.

2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing

Here is some “flamazing” artwork! They say a flamingo was born to stand out, and we think our artists at Lakewood definitely stand out! Stop in anytime to see our place. We think you’ll agree there’s no other place like it!
Our theme this month is “beach fun in the sun”

"Life is like the ocean. It can be calm or still, rough or smooth, but in the end, it is always
beautiful."
