The Best Independent Living Communities in Weakley County, TN

"Lakeside Senior Living Community is right above the lake. It was clean and nice. Everybody was super nice and they went over the activities that they do a month, and where they take them on a bus and do things with them. The activities change day by day. One person takes them to a room and they do different things. We talked to all the patients who were in the activity room that day, and they've been there for over a year or two, and they're happy about living there. The staff was good. They were upfront about everything and answered all your questions. They were really good. The rooms were a good size. It was kept up very well. We spoke to several patients who live there, and they were very content and happy. Some of them had their homes still, where their children would come by and pick them up and take them out to their home so they could spend all day at their house. They showed us a laundry room, they had a beautician there, and then the movie theater where they made popcorn and all that."

"My mother has been a resident of Wesley Pine Ridge for two years now. Most of the apartments are nice but some of them are older and need a lot of work. For people that are handicapped such as my mother, some of the places don't have good enough handicap access and that's a real concern. Sometimes there are rules they pass out that older folks has to sign when they move in, and that they're supposed to follow, there's a lot of them that they ignore and they don't do. Some are just very nitpicky, in my opinion. Overall, living there is fine. My mom likes it, she's made friends, but again, a lot of it really need updates for seniors. The rooms are more like mini-apartments. There's a bedroom, dining and living room is all in one room and then there's a kitchen. They have variety, some of them are 2-bedroom and some are 1-bedroom apartments like my mother's. They do have an activities director but they don't as much as what other places do. We were under the impression that with the handicap van, it would be more accessible to take them to doctor's appointments when needed, but it doesn't. It takes to Walmart shopping and, as far as I know, that's about it. Maybe a trip once in a while. In the community center, they have their own where they host things. They have a treadmill, a piano, a few books and puzzles that they can play. They also have a laundry facility that the seniors have to pay to do their laundry. It's like a Laundromat. If they want cleaning done, the residents have to hire and pay for themselves."
