The Lynmoore at Lawnwood

The senior staff is quite good and seems committed to providing as good a care level as feasible.. Deirdre does an excellent job of promotion. The daily staff, with some exceptions, seems undertrained, uncaring, and, mostly, unfamiliar with English. Some positive exceptions stand out. The room my wife was in (several months stay) was clean but a bit dark - brighter colors would help. Meals are varied and good - I would say *almost* equivalent to a chain like Ruby Tuesday or Mulligan's. Activities are a bit on the low side, though the activities person is very encouraging and enthusiastic. There is a good library with a common telephone for residents. I was surprised on SEVERAL occasions to see the van driver sound asleep on a couch in 1 of the common rooms. Friendships with other residents are easily made (and easily broken). There are cliques (not surprising, however). On the whole we picked this place after visiting 7 others - it's pretty good for the price. In total, 3-1/2 stars. My two complaints: insufficient monitoring when a resident walks out the front door and wanders; and the nearly constant smell of urine and worse in the hallways.

The Lynmoore at Lawnwood is nice; my sister moved in there. She plays bingo, does exercises, and learns how to crochet among other things. The staff is very pleasant and nice. The place is nice, big, and open, and has lots of amenities inside, like beauty parlors. They also take the residents to doctors in one of their buses.

The Lynmoore at Lawnwood looked pleasant and adequate. The place was nice, but didn't compare with the other community we visited. It was an older but clean place. They had a place for the ladies to get their hair done, outings for the residents, and music.

Lynmoore at Lawnwood was a very nice, well-organized place. I liked the staff and the facility. It was just as expensive as most others.

Lynmoore at Lawnwood was excellent and the place was spotless. The staff was very caring. When we first went there, the admission coordinator answered all the questions I asked. I can’t say enough about them. They were really great all around. The staff really go over and above what their job description is. They look after my sister well. They’re like a little family. The food is pretty good. My sister is not crazy about it, because she’s pretty fussy; but friends and family have gone to have lunch or dinner with her, and there’s a pretty good choice of food. They usually have one main meal on the menu, but you could also get a sandwich or fries. The food on a scale of 1 to 10 is an 8. There’s always something going on every day. They take people out to plays. They have manicure days. The stuff that they do for holidays is unbelievable. They had an Oktoberfest. The place was decorated beautifully for Halloween. They also do this black-and-white affair once a year where everybody gets dressed up and eats wonderful food. They have several central patio areas where they do barbecues for the residents.

The Lynmoore at Lawnwood was a very professional location. It was a pricey location, but it did have an advance care license. There were registered nurses on site. They have the standard calendar of activities. They have trips outside of the facility and activities within the facility. They have plenty of areas like outdoor courtyards where people can go out, but they can't wander off. The people that I met were pleasant and seemed very professional. Their dining area was a restaurant style. They would order their meal from a menu, and their meal is brought to them. Their rooms were basically studio or up to two-bedroom apartment-type rooms. I like the décor of the facility. It was a very pleasant. I actually met a dozen residents while touring the facility, and all of them seemed quite happy. The facility was clean, and it was like a resort.

My uncle and aunt are in Lynmoore. I will recommend the community. It has very caring people, and it is well organized. They have exercise every morning. My uncle does exercise every morning. My aunt did a little bit of bingo yesterday. They are taking part in the talent show that is coming up. It is very good, but as they go, it is a little bit expensive. However, I know they have to have money in order to do what they have to do. It is very handy to the hospital and several doctors' offices. There is a nice family community on the other side.
