Memory Care Reviews for LakeView Estates

I visited this facility
LakeView Estates was very nice. The rooms are very homey and the staff is very nice and welcoming. The residents seemed to be content. They have two activity directors. I had lunch there and it was really yummy. They have a very nice courtyard and a pretty view with a lake out front with ducks and geese, and sometimes there are animals like deer that walk up to the facility. It's very peaceful. The building itself has been updated because it looked really good on the inside.

My dad is at LakeView Estates. It has a lake in front of it, that’s where it gets its name, so it has a tranquil aesthetic view to it. It has 2 floors, and it has a portico in front with rocking chairs. It is entirely dedicated to memory care. The staff is excellent. I’m totally satisfied. The cost of service is significantly less than the two other places that I looked at. They’re warm, friendly, and caring. They had something special for Halloween. Daily they got movies, and they got bingo. I haven’t tried eating there, but my dad seems to like it. Mid-November, they’re going to have Thanksgiving dinner there, and they will allow four people to eat with their residents. We’re looking forward to that Thanksgiving meal.

We went to Lakeview Estates on a Sunday and without an appointment. All the elderly were in the rocking chairs in front and looked like they were enjoying themselves. The staff showed us around. They were cordial. The there was good. It looked like they had a lot of activities going on which was a key for memory people because they had to keep them busy. They had art classes. They gave them magazines and did collages. The rooms were much bigger, but the place was a little bit older. The grounds were nice. There was a pond, and they had geese. Even the people on the second floor had a patio, and there were grounds that they could walk around on.

I toured LakeView Estates. The rooms were nice amd clean, it had windows, and you had to put your furniture in. They were remodeling rooms which were empty. All the people I met were nice and seemed to be concerned about taking care of their patients. The thing I didn’t like was it was a multi-story; the room I would be getting was on the second level, and you have to use an elevator. It had a coded thing to get it to go up and down, and I can see that is not always the best thing. I saw the people sitting out there doing exercises.

My mother-in-law is now living at Lakeview. She continually states that "these are the nicest people, they take really good care of me, and it is so clean." We couldn't be more pleased with their attentiveness to her and all of the family who visits her. Lakeview is a secure, safe place for our loved one. We know that she is getting the best care possible at this difficult time in life.

The facility was nice and clean. The people were helpful and they had a variety of activities for the people to do. The facility was fully staffed and was well preserved. The staff was nice to the guests and the clients. Our family friend had only good things to say about the food and the cleanliness.

My mother died after I submitted the deposit. I have repeately attempted to obtain this money, to no response. Additionally, no one has offered me sympathy nor any gesture following her death. I do not recommend.
