Echo Lake

It's a great community. They are seriously lacking staff, which is just a sign of the times. And that carries through into the dining experience and the care. But the staff that is there are good. I would just recommend asking about the staff to resident ratio. But everyone is very friendly and helpful. The residents are very nice as well. The facility is very clean. When I go into the elevators and the rooms, I can smell a good clean smell like everything has just been cleaned.

It's a great place to have your loved one go. They really care for your mother or father you have going there. They exceed all expectations. They provide a plethora of activities. The staff does a great job of communicating with us regarding anything with our loved one. They have a doctor that comes weekly and we can make an appointment that is done on site for the residents. Her 1 bedroom apartment is a nice sized. She doesn't have to cook if she doesn't want too. They will deliver the food to her room but she enjoys the food options for a charge. I can't say enough about them. We can sleep at night knowing she is well taken care of.

The staff that I have spoken with are really nice and seems really helpful. My loved one is in memory care and sometimes gets upset about being in a locked area. This is a good community and I would recommend looking into it for you or your loved one. It is hard being away and not being able to see everything and not being able to go with what my mother says. They also have someone in the hair salon twice a week for the residents but it can be hard to get into. They also do not have a lot of variety on the menu for the memory care residents and I wish they could update the menu.

We chose Echo Lake because it is new so it is bright and cheery and clean. They also had some incentives going on. They do not have a lot of activities provided in memory care. I gave the care a 3 because they are understaffed, the people that they do have are great, they just need more since they are growing. The food is excellent. I would recommend to others looking.

I am very happy with the care and the caregivers. There is some turnover with the staff. I would like to see some continuity with the caregivers. We have been very happy with echo lake and am so glad we chose them. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Echo Lake is a great community. The staff at the community do a great job. I don't feel my loved ones are in danger; however, the community is just short on staff. Some of the activities available are exercise classes, pickleball, game clubs, trips out to different areas in the town, concert broadcasts, and more in the independent living area. The community is nice so my loved ones can be in different areas and be able to visit each other. On the memory care area they provide exercise classes, meal preps, staff assisted the residents engaged with different activities and going to meals. Echo Lake provides the option to live in the memory care area, if you are able and willing to live with your loved one who has memory care needs. They have apartments available for the residents to use if they choose this option. It has a resort or hotel feel in this brand new community. The ceilings are tall and the hallways are wide. This makes it nice for my loved ones.
