Pine Run Lakeview

My mom has moved into Pine Run Lakeview. We pretty much got her in there, and she loves the food. The staff is fantastic. They have excellent food. The room she has is perfect for what she needs. She's very happy. She does physical therapy there as per her doctor, but they have a lot of activities to be involved in. There's something to do every day. The dining rooms are beautiful. They're very aware of the COVID situation; you've got to have your temperature checked when you walk in, and you have to wear a mask when you enter. It's clean, beautiful, and it's perfect for her, So far, so good. As we were going through this process, we looked at a lot of other places. For the money we're spending, it exactly fits into our budget. There were others that we couldn't afford. I mean, we could have, but it wouldn't have lasted very long or money.

My friend just moved into Pine Run Lakeview. It's a nice room. They have lots of activities and the staff member made a good impression. The facility is very clean.

My dad is in Pine Run Lakeview. I would say the amenities and the conditions are very good. The people are great, and the food is good. It’s close to home -- perfect location for my father. They have a calendar of activities on a daily basis; every hour or so, there’s something going on somewhere that you can join in on.

I visited Pine Run Lakeview. The place was beautiful. However, I didn’t care for the people running it. They talked about people in front of others, which they shouldn’t have done. The place was very clean and beautiful. The dining room was also beautiful. The food was good, and it was presented beautifully. The place was upscale.

The staff was very lovely, and the activities were very nice at Pine Run Lakeview. It would've been our choice, but my mother's level of assistance required was beyond what they will take in.

My mother was a resident of Lakeview for the past 2 1/2 years. They allow pets, so she was able to have her cat and they also allow small dogs. Her room was small and located a good distance from the nursing station. The food was very good and she seemed to enjoy the good variety. There are activities going on daily through the week and the activity staff is caring and engaging. Many of the main staff have been employed there for many years which shows their committments to the residents and enjoyment of the job. The nursing staff that took care of Mom at the end of her life was exceptional. They were attentive and compassionate not only to Mom's needs but to our family as well. We cannot say enough about how wonderful everyone was during a very difficult time. We are thankful Mom's last years were in a safe, caring environment.

I’m living in Pine Run Lakeview. It’s a likeable place. The place is owned by Doylestown Hospital. We’re a couple of blocks from it. There’s a service; they have two vehicles and one driver. It cost $10 to make a roundtrip in any place in Bucks County. You have to reserve ahead of time. Most people here do not drive. In particular, the food is better than I had expected. The service staff is above what you would expect if you would carefully hire people that didn’t pay them very much. Many of the people in the dining room for instance during the summer are on vacation from school or about to start college. They do a part as well as one would expect. The food is excellent. I would give the food an A minus; I’ll give the service a C minus. The cost is about equal the cost of staying in one of the local hotels. Of course if you stay in one of the local hotels you spend a few days or weeks. Here you might expect to spend for the rest of your life. This is a place where they do not take you for a thousand dollars of entrance fee. The worst part is that the rooms are small. They call them a suite. It’s a shock to move into a suite consisting of a one room and a bathroom. That’s a negative, but on the other hand you can get used to it. There are about 120 residents here I suppose. I would say 1/3 of the people here you can’t talk to because their minds are gone. Maybe another third has some deterioration simply due to the fact that they’re old. The remaining third are pretty good mentally.

The staff here is very polite. They're very good in helping us. They have a very nice dining room. I have no complaints about the food. It's very good. I stayed in an apartment on the groundfloor. We initially picked it out and they did it the way we want it. We have 50 different activities for people to join. I just like everything about Pine Run.
