We met with [Name Removed] , who gave us a tour of the The Lakeshore Senior living campus, which sits on the gorgeous shoreline of Lake Washington. [Name Removed] was friendly and welcoming, and took the time to give us a thorough picture of life at this community, answering all of our (exhaustive) questions. A highlight was meeting a large number of residents engaged in various activities, and, unprompted, they unanimously gave us a glowing report of how much they enjoyed living there. Unlike some places we'd visi

Our experience

Overall has been great. Cleanliness is great. Friendliness is like a 3.5 for front desk, but the other staff are delightful. Quality of care is awesome--they have been right there when mom needed help even before I saw that I had missed their text. Food has been amazing, both nutrition wise and keeping them enjoying. Activities have been engaging them--decades long bridge players and loving the activity nights, such as the luau night. Value wise, it's not cheap, but very much worth the value. The view in the dining

Overall would Recommend

Beautiful grounds, but the food not great. Apartment size 1 bedroom was perfect except lowest floor rooms are a little dark but still nice. Staff was nice and engaging - only reason my mom left was she needed memory care.

Highly Recommend

Beautiful dining room with view of Lake Washington. Grounds beautiful and well taken care of. Staff is friendly and kind. Secure with gated entrance. Some menu options are very good - maybe rotate menu with more specials. I guess I'm looking at it from a 60 year old rather than an 85 year old so it's probably fine for most.

While we were impressed with the grounds, community, and staff, we had concerns about the room layouts and cost compared to [removed]. One example is that they charged an extra fee for an alert bracelet, which [removed] did not. That said, we would have been happy with Lakeshore, but we liked [removed] better.

Extremely pleased

The Lake Shore is a wonderful retirement facility with a view of Lake Washington that’s simply breathtaking. The staff are all friendly and helpful and professional. It really feels like a wonderful community of friendly staff and a community of friends. The food is beyond delicious and I couldn’t feel any better having my mom and stepdad making Lake Shore their retirement home. Thanks to everyone at the Lake Shore for making their retirement a wonderful experience.
