Brookdale Sikes Lake

We placed Mom in Emeritus. We chose it because it seemed to offer the most care for the price. Among those I toured, it looked like Emeritus offered the best quality. The facility is very clean. The staff is really friendly and very professional. My mom really likes them a lot. I've tried their food and it was pretty good. They have activities like bingo, crafts, X-box bowling, exercise, etc. They do a lot of different things. The best thing about this place, I would say, is the quality of the residence itself, their rooms are really nice and well maintained, and the atmosphere is really good. It is just a really attractive-looking place. I would recommend it to others.

We visited the Emeritus at Lakeridge Place assisted living facility while looking at possible places for our aunt. The outer courtyard area was very nicely maintained - with plenty of seating to enjoy the great lawn space. The patio area looked particularly nice. There was plenty of space to enjoy outside parties and gatherings. Residents could also enjoy being outdoors safely with adequate, but not intrusive supervision. It was good to know that our aunt could also keep her beloved cat. The interior was bright with lovely windows throughout which let lots of nice, bright, natural light in - with a fresh looking decor and home-style furniture. The dining room was quite cozy, yet not cramped. It had a home-style restaurant feel with beautiful hardwood flooring and French style windows with high ceilings. The food smelled and looked nutritious and delicious. The menus featured healthy foods for diets. Healthy snacks are also offered all day, as well as when requested. The media room had a wide screen TV and comfortable furnishings. There was a library area with table and chairs. Other communal activity rooms also had comfortable furniture. The seniors are encouraged to socialize, play games and participate in many stimulating activities. As a full service facility, they can accommodate varied ambulation levels. The private rooms were tastefully decorated and well maintained. Each room seemed fresh and cheery. All units have convenient kitchen areas and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. Some of the units had beautiful views of Sikes Lake. Residents enjoy walking along the mile-long path. The library and fireplace looked like great gathering places. Residents enjoy card and dominos games, puzzles, reading and socializing. We also really liked the soothing and calming fish tank. There were several seating areas throughout for residents to enjoy. They can also reserve the private dining room for parties, events and family gatherings. Seniors can use the fitness room as well as go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered. There is also a convenient salon, available several days each week. The residents go on trips to visit the local establishments in the area and enjoy many local eateries and other cultural events offered. The residents looked quite content and well cared for by the considerate staff.
