This place is great. My sister is no angel and tends to give them a hard time, but somehow they're able to roll with the punches. Even the Executive Director has helped. Any other place would have probably asked her to leave. I visit twice a week, my sister seems very content here. The staff is fantastic. They're very nice. They have activities all the time. My sister is not usually one to participate, but has done so here and enjoyed it. She's even made a couple friends. The food seems to be good quality and variety. Housekeeping is often and they do a great job. I would recommend them to family and friends.... Read more

The rooms at Lakeview Estates were just too small. Also, while I know they can get confused, one of the residents actually approached me in the lobby and told me that living there was bad. The receptionist got up from her desk and whisked that resident off quickly to "activities." The resident did seem very unhappy.

September 18, 2022Thank you for your kind words and allowing us to care for your loved one.
I toured Lakeview Estates and it was nice. Our tour guide, [name removed], she went above and beyond to provide information and communicate. She was a very very good communicator. We chose another community because Lakeview cost a little bit more and I didn't think it was worth more, although it was closer.

August 20, 2022Thank you for your visit! We are glad that you had an enjoyable experience and hope that you will reach out should we be able to assist you in the future.
Had different expectations, that they would be watching him more often then had liked. Ended up having to have Fire Department come each of days he was there (for a very short period) but they would have to pick him up from falling each day.
Lakeview Estates is a happy place. You will feel confident knowing your loved one is well cared for. My loved one seems content in being here. The community could add some additional menu items for dietary restrictions. My loved one likes to stay active with all the activities available in the community. It feels like a cruise ship because of all they have to offer. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. There has been some turnover of staff, and have gone through a recent transition with the new staff coming onboard. Housekeeping, laundry, three meals, snacks, once a week outing, activities, electricity, water, and gas is all covered under the monthly fee. The care fee can be additional. Medication management, bathing, dressing and hygiene care are all items the community assists my loved one with. The community is only two stories, with a lake nearby. It is a very scenic area. There is a courtyard in the middle of the community for the residents to use.

September 14, 2022Hi Susie S, thank you so much for your positive comments about Lakeview Estates! If you have any further questions, please give us a call. We're always happy to help!
I would not have my mother any where else for assisted living memory care. The staff is caring, compassionate, and responds to her needs and keeps her happy giving me the opportunity to continue to work and travel in my job. My sister and I both travel extensively in our jobs and we are able to work with confidence that she is cared for. We recently had to have her in the hospital and in rehab but as soon as we could, we readmitted her back to Lakeview. There were tears shed when she left and tears shed when she returned yesterday. I work in long term healthcare myself and I know the difference and I can certainly recommend Lakeview Estates to anyone that needs some loving care.

A very friendly staff. My mom was a bit younger than the population and longed for outings and younger companions. But 10 years from now I would take her back. 62 moderate dementia.

Lakeview Estates has become my aunt's new home as a result of a combination of superlatives. It's newly renovated interior notwithstanding the excellence their highly vetted & trained staff presented our family and small patient to caretaker ratio were most appealing. Arrange a tour with Diana and you will be similarly intrigued.

They lost me when I walked through the door to a terrible smell in the entire building. Too many coded and locked doors. More like memory care than assisted living.

May 28, 2014Thank you for your comments. Our housekeeping department and our entire team are always alert to any odors in our community. We made additional rounds as soon as we reviewed your comments and were pleased that the community smelled clean and fresh. We are Memory Care Assisted Living. We do have locked and coded doors for the safety of our residents and for the peace of mind for their families. One of the benefits of this secure environment is that our residents can walk and explore their home. Our courtyard is also secure so that residents can enjoy the outdoors. We would be delighted to have you as our guest again so that you can tell us your impressions and we can explain how being a secure Memory Care community helps our residents to maximize their feelings of independence and to feel at home.
This facility seems to be nice and the staff friendly. It is located in a nice area of town. It is set off the road with a pond in front of it. Everyone was very helpful. The residents looked well cared for.
