Anthem Lakes

Anthem Lakes was nice. The grounds were very nice. They had a very extensive walking path. The gym was limited though. It was kind of a physical therapy thing where they had a physical therapy staff there. We saw a two-bedroom apartment, but it was kind of small. They also got studios, one-bedrooms, and a one-bedroom with a den. They had a small porch, but there's barely room for a couple of chairs. They have a proper dining room and an activity room.

My mom moved into Anthem Lakes. I like the service. The staff is very friendly. There's a nurse there 24 hours a day. It's just a great facility. I'm very pleased with it. The food is excellent. They have a well-balanced, three-course meal served there. They have activities going all day, every day. They have bingo, crafts, trivia, football game parties, a little happy hour on Fridays, and social events. They have events where they bus the residents twice a week off campus to the store or to physician appointments.

I went to Anthem Lakes. The atmosphere was pleasant. The layout felt kind of like a two-story apartment, so it was pleasant living. They were having a sewer problem when I was there. I don't take away from them because of that, because something like that happens. But it was a very pleasant experience. The rooms that I looked at were very attractive. I saw the library and activity rooms. They had everything that everybody else had, and it was all clean and neat. I saw a list of their activities and I saw an exercise class going on while I was there. I only interacted with two staff, and they were gracious and pleasant.

I toured Anthem Lakes. All the staff were willing to talk to us when we toured. It was clean. It didn't smell like a nursing home, and everybody was out and about. They just had a flower arranging class when we were going through there. They do painting. They have a hair salon. They have a chapel. They have a little library with computers. They have a whole big outdoor area. I talked to the chef. The dining room was clean, well lit, spacious, and had different areas where you could sit next to a window. It felt homey.

Anthem Lakes is very nice and very clean. The staff is so nice. They make me feel really comfortable being able to take my mother-in-law there. They have single rooms, double rooms, and efficiency apartments with a stove and stuff like that in it. She is in a double room. In the double rooms, you have a room with one person there, then you have another room with a second person, and then you have a common area for both of them to go and sit if they want to watch TV, talk, play cards, or anything, and then they have a bathroom that they share. Twice a week, they have a social get-together where they all go down into a dining/bar area and sit, talk, play, or anything like that. Once COVID is under control, they will be having outings once a week. They also have a classroom where they can do crafts and puzzles, they have a library, and they have bingo. The staff is very knowledgeable. They're not too slow to call me, and they ask what my opinion would be. Everybody I have talked to there is very knowledgeable about everything that is going on there. I could no longer take care of my mother-in-law, so when we took her in there, it was something that had to be done, and they were very helpful about getting everything taken care of for her and getting her in there in a timely manner. My mother-in-law also said that everything that she had eaten so far has been very good. She has not had a problem, had to send anything back, or tell them that she did not care for anything, and the meals that come to them are nice-sized meals. The place is also very reasonably priced.

Anthem Lakes had a lot of amenities, but it's out of our price range. Everything was very nice there. They were located off a major highway, so you could get out and walk around and not be disturbed by a lot of traffic. It's a pleasant area. They didn't have mah-jong, but they're more than willing to get it started. They're very congenial. They go out of their way to present their place. The size of the facility was very good.
