Lakewood A Continuing Care Center

Lakewood A Continuing Care Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 220 Kennedy Memorial Drive in Waterville, Maine — a central Maine city that serves as a regional hub for healthcare, education, and commerce. As a non-profit corporation, Lakewood operates with a mission-centered philosophy that prioritizes resident well-being and quality of care over shareholder returns, reinvesting its resources directly into the people it serves. Waterville's Kennedy Memorial Drive corridor is one of central Maine's most medically rich addresses. MaineGeneral Medical Center — the flagship hospital of the MaineGeneral Health system — is located nearby, providing residents with convenient access to emergency care, surgical services, cardiac care, oncology, and a wide array of specialist clinics. This proximity is a meaningful advantage for residents with complex or evolving medical needs, enabling smooth care transitions and ongoing specialist involvement in care planning. Beyond its medical location, Lakewood sits in a community that offers genuine vitality for seniors and their families. Colby College, one of Maine's most prestigious liberal arts institutions, anchors the city's cultural life and regularly hosts public lectures, museum exhibitions at the Colby College Museum of Art, and community events open to Waterville residents. The revitalizing downtown Waterville — anchored by the historic Concourse area and the renovated Railroad Square Cinema — offers restaurants, local shops, and cultural programming that make visits enjoyable for families. Head of Falls Park along the Kennebec River provides scenic outdoor space just minutes away, and the Two Cent Bridge, one of the few remaining pedestrian toll bridges in the United States, is a beloved local landmark. The Kennebec River Rail Trail connects Waterville to neighboring Augusta and provides a peaceful route for recreation. As a non-profit, Lakewood A Continuing Care Center brings a service-first ethos to every aspect of operations — from nursing care and rehabilitation services to dietary programming and family communication. For families in the Kennebec Valley region seeking trusted skilled nursing care, Lakewood's combination of clinical proximity, community connection, and mission-driven governance makes it a standout choice.
