Broadmore Senior Living at Lakemont Farms

My mother has moderate dementia. A year ago we were told by Doctors it was time for her to be placed in assisted living. Being the only daughter, this was a tough decision. We visited over 10 facilities and found Broadmore to be our best fit. The staff is dedicated to the resident's every need. The lines of communication are opened with management and they are willing to work with you to provide the best care for your loved one. The faciity is well maintained and offers excellent programs and activities for the residents as well as family members. I have piece of mind knowing my mother is is good hands. She is happy and calls Broadmore her home. We know we made the right decision.!!! Thank you to the management and staff for all your efforts!!!

Choosing a home for my mother was a very emotional step for us to take. We interviewed several facilities but we all fell in love with the staff at Broadmore Senior Living at Lakemont Farms. From the moment we walked in the door we experienced a warm, homey, feeling. We were greeted by Sadie immediately. Though my Mother is very skiddish around dogs she felt very comfortable with Sadie. During the tour I watched Mom's reactions to the staff, residents and the surroundings and I knew this was a perfect fit for her. Over the months since she moved in I have visited her countless times and each time I see random loving acts of kindness and concern from the staff to the residents. There is always something exciting going on. It truely feels like a family at Broadmore and each time I leave I have a sense of peace that Mom is in a loving, nurturing place where all her needs are being met and where she is happy. You always think that no one can care for someone you love better than you but at Broadmore we have found a second family that truely cares.

I thought this was a very nice facility overall. I was very impressed with how nicely decorated this facility is, and it is very clean and smells clean, too. All of the residents seemed very happy and well taken care of when we were there. There seemed to be ample staff available for all of the residents and their needs. The food was wonderful, and my grandmother was happy to see that she would be able to find something she liked as well, since she is a picky eater. It was nice to see all of the residents busy with activities, and that buses are available for day trips as well. I would be very comfortable knowing my grandmother was at this facility.

My Nana resided here from her mid 80's until she passed away at the age of 96. There were always activites to participate in, both in and out of the facility. Nana was able to cook in their kitchen. They also converted a space on the patio so that she could have a vegetable garden. She encouraged others who were less interested in participation to help her. The staff there treated her like family. They treated us like family. I remember when she was still able to go out and about that she had a better social life than I did. Their bus would always take them out to lunch or to the mall. They even went to a Pirate Baseball game where Nana got a few bobble heads! They made the last several years of her life as pleasant as could be. She made friends there. They had doctors come to the facility as well as a beautician. The ladies on the staff would fix her hair and do her nails so that she could feel pretty. Towards the end of her life, the staff helped find resources available thru medicare that our family was unaware of. Hospice was able to come to the facility to make her more comfortable when the end was near. They were truly a blessing. They made her and our family feel at home. Which is all anyone can ask for.

This is a RESORT for the senior population no other words to describe it. I have visited some amazing places but this one is at the top of the list. Placing a loved one here will allow you to sleep at night. The staff I observed was compassionate and very attentive to the residents. The lobby and common areas are clean and the dining hall is very nice well decorated. The food was 5 star with 5 star dining. The food was amazing I had lunch and had 2nds. The residents are happy and appeared to be well cared for. They are bright, alert and most of all active. I am no longer dreading aging if this is how I am going to live. Very, Very nice....I highly recommend this facility of highly trained compassionate staff.

My mother Wilma R. was a resident at Broadmore from May 2011 until Sept 2011 when she passed away. While my mother was a resident I felt that her needs were met both medically and emotionally. The staff was always very friendly and willing to help with anything that my mother needed. The food was delicious and my mother was a VERY picky eater! Every Monday she got a manicure which she enjoyed and looked forward to. Volunteers came in to help some of the staff to give the manicures. There is a beauty shop to meet whatever needs of both men and women. There are outings and entertainment at least once a week. There are puzzles and a front and back patio for the residents to enjoy the fresh air. There are several kitchenettes where the residents can go any time of the day or night and get a snack or drink. I personally have to commend two aides in particular that took care of my mother. Amy and Christine treated my mother with respect and I believe that they truly cared about her. They both took the time to get to know my mother's likes and dislikes so that she could be comfortable in her new surroundings. My mother always got a hug from whoever came in to her room...sometimes a kiss too! All of the aides were wonderful but Amy and Christine went above and beyond when it came to my mother and I will never forget what they did. I took comfort in knowing that they were there with my Mother when I couldn't be. When my mother went to the hospital all she wanted to do was to go home...to Broadmore...her new home! And that is due to the staff that made her feel welcome and comfortable. When my mother passed away several of the staff member came to the funeral home which touched my heart deeply. I would highly recommend Broadmore to anyone looking for a HOME away from HOME for their loved one.

I visited this facility with my family and grandmother when we were trying to decide where she ultimately wanted to stay. We ended up in end going with a different place, but this location was very nice as well. The staff seemed very friendly and courteous when we were there, and they answered all of our questions. They seemed to have a variety of facilities and entertainment on the grounds for the residents to do, so they do not get bored. Overall the facilities were very clean and decorated nicely. The only reason we chose another facility was because there was another one similar but closer to our home. But all in all, this was a very nice facility.

I placed both my mother (98) and sister (downs Syndrome) at Broadmore in August of 2009. I had been pleased with their care while both of them were there. Our mother passed away in October of 2011 and i had to move my sister out for a while, but she is back and enjoys being there more than she did before. I find her care is excellent and I am out there at no specific time and so there is no way to tell when I will "drop by" and I always find friendly, courteous staff and there is alway something for my sister to do. She does go to a workshop daily, but is excited about returning to Broadmore at the end of the day. The staff has always been willing to work with me on any occasion that there has been a situation involving either of them. I am pleased with the care that has been and is still being provided by Broadmore and their staff.
