For the money could clean better and get better food

The number one complaint, my parents provide me is the food is atrocious. When you charge someone $[removed] per month, you would think the food would be better than what it is. Sometimes the meat is so hard, You can bounce it off concrete. We do like the staff they have been very helpful to my parents. Activities are not special. Again food is number 1 issue.

My Family’s Experience at Lakeview Estates Assisted Living

While I may sound a bit critical regarding the food and activities, my concerns stem from my loved one's experience. Unfortunately, she finds the food unappealing, and I have to agree—it doesn’t look very appetizing. The activity offerings are more robust for residents living downstairs, but those upstairs who prefer not to come down have very limited options, despite there being space available for more engagement. The upstairs activity calendar is rarely updated, and although they've recently started printing a s

Attentive staff

The residents seem very happy overall to be there. The staff really tries to be attentive and have the best interest of the residents. Like everywhere though, they seem to be short staffed. Rooms are a very nice size and they offer as many amenities as you can with memory patients. My mom really enjoys the hair and nail amenities. Not so much the activities. They try the best they can.

Lakeview Estates is the best

The nursing supervisors are awesome very attentive to the needs of the residents. The nurses are very detailed and do an excellent job with the residents. All meds are giving on time and they are so nice to the residents. The residents aids are very helpful and care for each of they residents! The food is very good but could be improved to help the needs of dementia patients. The grounds are very neat and well groomed.

The staff at Lakeview are wonderful

The nurses are great, they care about the residents and their care. The resident aides have very difficult job and do very well. the residents are well taken care of, food, clothed, and bathed. The rental business offices do great job, it is amazing how well they keep up the facility near full capacity and billing up to date. the kitchen staff do a great job and activities director is amazing.

Lakeview Estates is the greatest

The nurses are the best very nice and attentive. Thee RA's are hardworking and very sociable. The activities director keeps the residents active and has great ideas. The rental agent is the hardiest worker worker I have ever meet. The kitchen staff is very good, but could use some improvement. The salon workers are awesome. The maintenance staff keep the facility looking good.
