LakeView Estates

I visited the LakeView Estates and I liked it. Some of the places we've been to, things are too far away for some of the residents to walk to. Like the dining room is too far and things like that. It's not that way here. The room we looked at was smaller but it had a bathroom. All the rooms were not the same, though. They had 3 different sizes, but I guess that's the way it is in all of these places. I didn't have any interaction with anybody other than the lady who toured the facility with me and she was very nice and helpful.

My aunt was a resident of LakeView Estates. It was just a good facility, really clean. They take care of her. The staff was good. They have a media room and stuff like that. They have things for them to do. She did not participate, but they do have activities.

I visited Lakeview Estates. They had a courtyard, game room, and two cafeterias on each floor. The rooms were nice. They're all being updated as the people go out. The place is very clean. The staff was very friendly.

My father-in-law has moved into LakeView Estates. There are two deciding factors why we chose them. First, it was the most affordable place that we saw. Secondly, he is very attached to his dog, and they were willing for him to bring his dog with him, but none of the other places were. It's a two-story building and there are about 50 residents. There's a courtyard in the middle that is smaller than we would have liked for it to be, but it's at least an outside space that is safe. It's pretty standard, it's not flashy, but it is clean and well-kept. The only thing I didn't love about the physical facility was that the building was all carpeted. Everywhere else we went had hard flooring, whether it was vinyl tile or linoleum or something like that. The carpet was a little off-putting because there are accidents and urine smells and things like that, so I wish that they had hard flooring instead of carpet. I have very positive interactions with the people. They care about the residents. They know the residents well. They're very kind to them. We saw the menu, and it was very adequate. We felt like it was a good variety and good options for my father-in-law. They have an activity calendar posted in several places in the facility. And they also have an app that you can download on your phone. Whenever my father-in-law goes to an activity, they will check him in, so you can follow along on the app each day to the things that he's going to, which is kind of cool. So you can see if he's getting out or not. They have a lot of good stuff going on.

We toured LakeView Estates. I thought it was a great place. I was thrilled. I got to see possible rooms, and the staff took me through the entire facility. I got to see schedules for things. They have activities, and I looked at the menus for a week. They have a common area and things like that. The staff was wonderful. The girl who gave me the tour, her name is Noelle, and she could not have been of more help. Every kind of scenario was thrown at her, and she had a good answer for everything. The nurse April did the assessment on my mother, and she was wonderful. The room was very clean. It was about to be renovated because whoever had been there, had passed away. They always make some changes when that happens. The whole facility was very clean. The dining area was very nice and orderly. It was decorated with style. However, it is a little bit older.

Lakeview Estates had a very homey feel. We had to wait for our interview though, but we were sitting in an area where residents were also sitting, so we were able to see the staff coming through, talking to them, and interacting with them and it looked like they had a caring staff. They also have a good ratio of assistants to residents. The rooms were spacious enough, clean, sunny, and it was just a pleasant atmosphere. The person who did the tour was very positive. She sold the facility and was able to convey that. She emphasized the homey atmosphere and said that she liked working there. The place seemed clean. The only thing I didn't like was it was two-story and the hallways weren't as wide as I would like them to be, but those are small issues at this point. They also have two outside areas, and because they're completely enclosed, no one could wander away. They are not locked either. They could go out any time they wanted.
