Lake House is great. I like it. The staff members are great. They're also nice. They're pretty good and very nice. I think they don't have too many activities going on right now because of COVID, but I know they have something going on. Everything is pretty nice. I'm pretty sure the food is pretty good, but my mom would not like the food because she is not accustomed to that kind of food. Her room is pretty nice. It's for one person. It's a clean, nice, homey, and a pretty big room. The bathroom is very nice.

My mother has been a resident here for 3+ years. She and I are very happy with the facility on all levels. They appear to be expert at caring for this population. She is comfortable, well fed, and well attended to. Having a small, family run facility really makes a difference.

Lake House is brand new, beautiful, and it's on a lake. It's very large with elevators, a lot of activities, and the single rooms are a good size. In front, they have the memory care unit that they just opened. I am very pleased with them. They have activities all the time, like people coming in to sing, memory games, dancing, and the place is always decorated for every holiday. The staff is OK, but they need more. When they're dining, there's no staff to attend to the residents. The food needs a lot of work because they bring in a lot of pre-cooked food.

We were interested in Lake House because they only have 60 residents. We really liked it. They clean the rooms every day, and they shampoo the carpets in the rooms every 2 weeks. The food seemed to be fine. The dining room was very nice, and it was nicely furnished. They had lots of activities. They also had memory care which was across the street in another building. They can be kind of independent, or they can be assisted, depending on what their needs are. Their price seemed to be more reasonable, also. Whatever you need is already included in the price. They had different talks on different subjects, cards and games, and music.

Lake House Assisted Living is very nice, but it was just a bit far from us; that is why we did not chose this place. The place is brand new. The staff was really nice during our visit.
