Amber Court Assisted Living Communities

I visited the place with my Dad and other family members. We like it.

I think overall care is fine, but they can definitely improve in the quality of activities and getting the residents involved. If they plan an activity and no one shows up, the staff does not seem to care. The staff could be more friendly.

Best caring loving staff. Lovely people. The food is horrible. Most people agree. Management will not address it. Even the staff hates it! I could not eat it. It is a trade off for a loving safe place.

My mother moved in about a month ago. She's very happy there. She has made some friends and spends time outside of her room. The staff and residents are very friendly. All of the staff are responsive to questions and helping out with a request. I'm very happy I moved my mother here.

The housekeeper said she cleans the rooms once a week. I noticed that there is a smell in his room. Every day or twice a day they empty the garbage they say they dust once a week, but they don't seem clean the rooms very often, it may be that my father has too much stuff and he may make it difficult for them to clean his room, so it's hard to say. Three or four times a week there is a shuttle. He has a little fridge. But he complains that they have tilapia and mac and cheese every day. Other residents seems pretty happy and one person I spoke to really loved it. They do go around and let everyone know that dinner is ready. They could be possibly a little understaffed. They have a barbeque with the warm weather and a movie area and a T.V. area. It's much smaller than others and less expensive. This place is probably the oldest of the ones I saw, its up a hill and by a lake, with a very pretty view. The first floor seems to be a little more supervised.

They had a lot more happening than others I had seen. Look at the programs of what they are offering during the day. This is very important. This community didn't offer the level of care we needed but was beautiful and a very nice community.

The building was very clean, well decorated and had a positive aura. The staff was very receptive and sensitive in gene. Bowing, my mother could have used more personal social support in the evenings. After meals there wasn't enough for her to do and she felt isolated. Also, her room wasn't attended to properly but in general she needed more physical and emotional support than they were designed to handle.

Mom and I toured this community, it wasn't the best fit for her. The facility itself is ok, very modern. Mom wanted a more cozy setting. The outdoor grounds seemed a little more challenging also, as far as the residents being able to have outside time. It's on a hill and seemed like it would be hard for some to navigate/walk around comfortably.

I did not like this community at all. I just did not get a good vibe it just seemed like a ghost town and residents wandering looking for staff to help them.

The girl who showed us around was lovely, but the facility needed some major TLC. Everything was outdated and old and this was just not the right fit.

The facility overall did an ok job but the care was not quite what was promised. The food was not very good and lots of times arrived cold and there was not varity. For the price, I would recommend the community

Most of the residents are very inactive. There's a handful of youthful residents that participate in activities. Facility is very dated and could use a major renovation. Beautiful view of the lake. Staff is very nice.

I dont really like this place.. although most of the staff seem friendly and caring, some dont seem trustworthy. But my main complaint is that my moms room is dirty and very dusty. My mom suffers from copd and asthma and there shouldn't be dust piles enough where I can literally write my name. I'm hoping to find her a better place soon.

Very much like Signature Senior Living. Exclusive kosher menu would be a problem for my mom.

Lake Shore AL is relatively inexpensive and the admin staff is very good but overall there could be improvements. My relative was not there for a long period of time and when you walk in there is a somewhat unpleasant odor and it is stronger than other assisted living places I've been to. Also, when my relative was speaking to an aide and asked a question the aide responded, " look don't give me a hard time". This was disturbing that an aide would speak this way to an elderly and vulnerable person so overall not the best experience.

My mother in law is doing alright here at this community. I do think they could do a better job with the cleanliness. The community isn't very appealing, it could looks better. I not totally satisfied with the care they are providing her with. It is still a work in progress for us here.

The people there seem wonderful. The medical care is excellent. It is very clean. The only negative I would say is that they need to hire more aides to help people. They also need to update it a little more so it is aesthetically pleasing.

My sister & I fell in love with the administrator, Dhalia - she was great. Unfortunately, this wasn't the right fit for my independent dad. Residents required greater assistance.

Things have gone fine at Lake Shore Assisted Living. It isn't as high quality as some of the expensive places we looked at, it has a bit of a "nursing home" smell, it's an older building, etc. However, they seem to be on top of things when it comes to the care. The staff are friendly, attentive, and professional. They also do a good job with the food. They have a good balance between the care they provide and the price, and it was a good match for what we were looking for.

Staff was very engaging and seemed nice.Wanted to try the food and was disappointed that wasn't a option. That turned us off. Also not all the rooms had walk in showers.Some of the areas needed some freshening up and updates.
