RICHMOND — Lakewood Manor, a component of Virginia Baptist Homes, has completed its new health services center and residents began occupying the units this month.
The center will provide a residential living environment with 96 private nursing care residences and 32 assisted living residences. Its Memory Garden offers a unique therapeutic benefit for seniors. The first of its kind in the area, the garden will serve as a model for other continuing care retirement communities. The garden design received the Muse Award for Creativity presented by the Museum of Fine Arts in April 2006.
