I found the staff at Lakewood to be very caring, loving, and very attentive. The facilities were very clean. There were four different gardens where you could go out and sit. If you are not able to, they will put you in a wheelchair and make sure you can get out there. It's clean and the rooms were a good size. They have some private rooms, but those were usually for the very ill. The food was great. I actually stayed there and didn't have a problem with it. There was a good variety and you had a choice. For breakfast, you could have oatmeal or cream of wheat or cold cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. Each section has its own little kitchen to do snacks. If you didn't like something, they could try to find something that they could substitute with. There's always juice, soda, iced water, coffee, and tea available. They clean the floors and bathrooms every single day. They have daily activities, five days a week. Sometimes it's music, games, or speakers that will be interesting, especially to older people, like history. Sometimes they bring a group that puts on a little singing concert for them, especially at Christmas time and stuff. They try to keep them engaged. I think for what you're getting, the price is fair. They try to care for you. Medicine is always on time and they try to check my sugars.

This facility, while clean and relatively well situated, has poor, inattentive staff. As an EMT I was called to this facility many times, and many times when we arrived it was for a routine problem the staff could have handled themselves. Several times we arrived to find inappopriate or dangerous interventions had been performed by the staff present.
