I liked Lake St. Charles Retirement Community very much. The price was right, but they don't allow scooters, and I need to use a scooter. They had the best food and the best price. It wasn't fancy, but it was nice. The staff member during the tour was a nice young man, very knowledgeable about what was going on, and he explained a lot of things. I had lunch there. The facility was pretty laid out. When they have entertainment, they have a dance floor that they unfold in a big room. It's an old place, and they haven't upgraded a lot of things. The food was good.

Lake St. Charles Retirement Community was a really good community. The layout was nice. We really liked it. The staff was good and friendly, and they provide a lot of services. The rooms were clean and acceptable for what they have. The residents get two meals and they've got a pretty good selection. The dining area looked clean, open, and nice. They have quite a few things they can do.

The Lake St. Charles was very nice, very clean, upscale, and the administrator seemed very personally invested. It was over our budget. The staff seemed friendly and sincere. The rooms were very nice, small, and adequate. The people living there looked happy, and that was good.

I chose Lake St Charles. The price was wonderful, reasonable, and doable. It has a very home-like atmosphere, had a peaceful, secluded setting, and it's by a lake. The staff was excellent and very welcoming. It's an older facility, but the food was excellent.

My mother has been living at Lake St Charles for almost two months. She has a 2-room apartment with a bedroom, living room, a kitchen with a stove and refrigerator, and two closets. They have plenty of activities going on seven days a week all throughout the day starting at 8:00 in the morning right into the evening. The staff is absolutely wonderful and if you have a problem they're more than willing to help you and they're willing to fix things immediately. The food is good. They have a coin-operated washer and dryer available, a beauty salon, and a doctor and nurse on-site. My mom is in independent living.

Lake St Charles Retirement Community's rooms were OK, but they looked smallish. They had a very small library and a recreation room. The place seemed to fairly clean and pretty well-maintained, and the staff was OK. The dining area looked fairly comfortable, but I didn't care for being assigned to a table and eat there all the time with the same people. Their parking is so far from the front door, and they have a whole bunch of parking up close, but that's all handicapped. They're about a hundred yards away from the front door.

We were pleased with Lake St Charles Retirement. The people were really nice there. We sat and ate with the girl that ran the place. She was very nice and very friendly. The dining area was very nice. The food was wonderful. The only down about it was pay laundry. You have to pay for your laundry, and they only offer one meal.

Lake St Charles Retirement Community was kind of big. My mom could have been walking a lot because it was sprawling. The people were very friendly. Everybody I talked to loved it there, so I got a good impression. It had a great big room for meetings, and that was good. They had a huge activity calendar and a bus that took people to churches and places. It was in the area that my mom wanted to live at the time. The grounds were very nice, very pretty, and well kept. The only reason why I gave it a 4 was that it was a bit older and wasn’t modern looking.

My visit to Lake St. Charles was very good. The people working there were extremely nice. The activities I saw looked very nice. I liked the fact that the dining room was open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and that it's close to my house.

I chose Lake St. Charles mainly because of its proximity to my son, and it was a little more reasonable than some of the others. The food, most of the time, is a bad meal, but you can choose what you want because they have open menus, and you can get one or three meals a day. The staff is all very pleasant and they keep the place clean. One thing they can improve on is parking; they don't have adequate parking space. I sure would recommend this place to others.
