Escalante at The Lakes

Laurie

We toured Escalante at The Lakes. We liked the grounds and the interiors were very well kept up. They also had many activities available for the seniors as well as family members, or friends could come and join the residents for those activities. Activities that included music, arts and crafts, and games. They had a small library area and a movie theater room. There were a few people in the lobby when we went in, and they all seemed to be happy and comfortable. Michelle was very congenial and very informative. She asked good questions to get a good idea of what my mom's needs were and would be. She gave us a very thorough tour of multiple different rooms. The rooms were a neutral color and an off-white. They had new flooring. They were furnished and they were models to show potential residents the floor plan, and examples of how their furniture may fit in the room.

It was like a resort. There are a lot of activities and amenities. They had something going on almost every day. The staff was just extremely warm and friendly to us. I saw the menu and looked like the food choices were excellent. It's a little bit of an older facility, but still, it had a lot of pluses. There's a little porch or something off the activity room where you could go out and sit outside. They also had crafts, bingo, and entertainment. Their room had a roll-in shower, too.

The staff here was nice and cordial. We looked at larger studios and smaller studios and they were nice and clean. They had a little refrigerator in them and a microwave. We saw the activities rooms and a couple of rooms where they show movies and have meetings with the seniors. We saw them meeting some of the residents to go over some ideas as far as upcoming activities or what they would like to see.

My dad moved here. It's a really nice place. The staff is very friendly and very caring. It's very clean there, and the food is pretty good. They've been pretty attentive with my dad's needs. He's a fall risk, so they go and periodically check on him. He gets one of those notification necklaces, and that's been really helpful. He's had a couple of falls. He hits the button, and they show up pretty quickly. They have daily movies, and then they have exercise groups and bingo. They have religious activities, too. I think usually every day they have about six or seven different activities for them to choose from and live entertainment once a week. They have a nice, little exercise room and billiards table. They have a lounge area with a whole bunch of board games and puzzles. There's a room with a bunch of books. The food is pretty good.

Staff very caring and respectful. Understood our situation.

When I visited the tour was very nice, and the people that were there were very nice too, including the person I spoke to. We talked to a few other people. Everybody was super nice and helpful there. The facility is very clean, and it's up to date. We were shown the area where people can go get something to eat whenever they want. If they don't want the regular, or if they miss the hours or something like that, they can go and just get something else to eat. It was a very nice facility; I would have no problem putting someone there. We saw the area where they have little cocktail parties and get-togethers. There's a little patio area that's kind of enclosed with a fence. They just have their lunchroom or dining room, we saw that.
