Independent Living Reviews for Holiday Lighthouse Pointe

April 28, 2022

I had gone to see Lighthouse Pointe and liked the community. It's an independent living and it was close to where I'm living right now. I've been here for years and I wanted to stay near my family. During my visit, I didn't see any activity and I did not taste the food. They have worship and activities every day. Everything was fine. It's going to be an adjustment for me to move there, but I have the independence to leave also so if I want to go somewhere else, I can go and not be stuck right there. The staff was very friendly. I've only spoken with the main manager though. The place was very clean. I don't know how many people have gone into a nursing home, but there's absolutely no smell or anything there. If I want to cook, I can cook something. They have the main kitchen where you can cook if you want to make dessert or something like that. All I saw in the gym were a couple of machines, which would be fine for me. As far as walking, there's plenty of walking space there. There's a library and a room where you could watch a movie, or you could take a movie back to your room to watch it. There was a piano and a lot of open space for people to just go around. If you want to be sitting down, you could too. The place is clean and it's got activities. I'm pretty sure there are other activities and other places that would be nice too but I want to go there because I am close enough to my family. My grandchildren can get on their bikes and ride to see me. They can come and go in there anytime they want to and they would be welcome.

The hallways at Lighthouse Pointe were very narrow. They provide meals which makes it more expensive. The rooms were small, but then again, I don't need a huge room so that was not a problem. A friend of mine went with me, and the management was very friendly but a little pushy. The facility was very clean. They have activities, and they were playing bocce ball. They did have community rooms, a game room and a library. They have a special day every month or every week, that they honor veterans, which is a nice thing. They had pictures of some of the veterans who live there now and had lived there in the past, and they had a wall that they were all hanging on to honor the veterans. So that was a really good thing. They showed us a menu and the food looks good, and if you didn't care for what they were having, you could get a hamburger. If it was a meal you didn't like, you could get something else and that's a good thing. I just didn't like that you've got senior citizens with walkers, and the hallways were so small and almost built closed in, and the rooms were small.

Lighthouse Pointe is a fabulous place. It's very nice. It was very organized. I like the sales representative. He explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions. The place is very spacious and very clean. They have a lot of activities for the seniors. The rooms are nice. They also offer PT and OT as well. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were well kept very clean and organized. They have housekeeping services as well, which is excellent. The outdoor was well maintained and well-manicured. It was more of a courtyard feel. From what the gentleman said the layout is like a cruise ship on the inside, which it is, and you can overlook the dining area and the entertainment area.

Lighthouse Pointe offers three meals a day, but the single room that we're interested in was small. The two-bedroom was very large though. The person who did the tour was very friendly. Their amenities include a courtyard, a patio, and a refrigerator in the room.

Lighthouse Pointe is strictly independent living with three meals a day and lots of activities. That's the closest to an over 55 community, but I think that's an over 62 or something. I was impressed with that and I stayed and had lunch, and the food was good. I sat with three other ladies who live there and eat together regularly. That seemed like a decent place. The people were interesting and interested. They have all kinds of things going on. They've got a new manager who's just been there a short time, but she's moved there from one of their facilities. She was very positive and I completely liked my experience there. They have some balconies in their places, so there's a way to get outside just in your own home. They don't have full kitchens. They have refrigerators and a lot of people have put microwaves in, but because they're getting three meals a day, they don't have full kitchens. That would be the only drawback as far as I would be concerned. I think my friend who I'm looking for would be perfectly content with that. It's very refreshed and very comfortable. There are lots of open places from the dining room where I had lunch. You could see the pool table, which is a sort of at a mezzanine level, and you'd be able to see if anybody was up there playing pool so you could go and join them. Other things were kind of open and then they were getting a bingo game going right after lunch. The calendars that they have been handled well. The wait staff for the meals are the same people that do the cleaning for the units, so there's a continuity of people. You're not having completely unknown people all the time. You're having people that you have gotten to know because they come in and they do weekly cleaning of your place and then you'll see them again at the meals and I kind of like that. I had lunch there and they had maybe three choices and I got fried shrimp. They were good and they were hot when they came. They came fast. The other people at my table had already been served their meals because I sat down late, but they didn't forget me. They brought my choice promptly, then they had a small serving of ice cream for dessert or an offering of fresh fruit. It was just very, very pleasant and very relaxing and people seemed busy. The main person I talked to was the manager and she was very good.

Dad was going to go for independent living at Lighthouse Pointe, but they needed to assess him, and when they did, the price went up big time, so I couldn't afford to put him there. I wasn't too happy with that because I really liked that place. I loved it but it was two stories, which wasn't bad, but it was open where they could see over the railing. I didn't care for that too much. It was like an atrium where they can look down. I wanted it to be closed in where he couldn't get to the railing and maybe fall or get lost. I didn't care for the setup because it's not a setup he would remember. Where he's at is the perfect setup because it's squared off and it's closed in on all sides. The apartment looked great. It was big, roomy, and nice. I really liked it. The staff during the tour was wonderful. She showed us where he would stay in the studio apartment, what they looked like, where they were, and how the building was set up and arranged. She did an excellent job. They were clean.

We are very happy with our apartments. The food and services have been quite good, we are not picky eaters. Laundry is handy, and cleaning service is good.

Stacey helped my grandmother move in. She was so amused by her service and dedication. Stacey helped us with every detail, even found furniture for her. Stacey is so nice and personable. So far, my grandma is having a wonderful experience.

Everything has been excellent. Stacy explained everything very thoroughly. She is very courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and tells you everything you need to know, plus, and everything is true. She is a very fine example of what a sales person should be, and if it wasn't for her honesty and faithfulness to this company, I would not be living here now.

Community is clean and well taken care of. My parents are currently living here and are very happy. My dad gets his physical therapy right there on the property. All staff are very friendly and professional. Stacy was absolutely wonderful in helping my parents get in and settle. She is the best.

From my first visit with Stacy, we realized that this was a community that worked together, to ensure the safety and well-being of their residents. The staff exceeded all expectations in preparing the unit for occupancy in an expedited manner. My dad and I couldn't be happier with the decision.

I didn't see anything I did not like at Lighthouse Pointe. I had signed up with them even that first day after the tour and then things took a real different turn pretty quickly. I loved everything about it, the location, the grounds were just gorgeous, the apartments were nice, and the balconies. I met some of the residents while I was there. My mother-in-law would be living there now if things hadn't changed. I thought it was wonderful. Some places although very nice had more of an industrial look and the Lighthouse Pointe looked very homey and I liked it. I think she would've loved living there. They had balconies out over the courtyard. Everything was just very nice. The staff was very nice. My mother-in-law couldn't be with me that day, so they sent food to her home. They gave me a meal for myself and her that I was able to bring home for her. We had dessert and the chef came out to find out what she liked and what I would like and customized the meal, I'm sure, based on what he had on the menu that day, but it was very nice.

Lighthouse Pointe is in a nice location, and it was mostly quiet. The person that gave the tour was OK. We had an appointment, but I think the person that I was supposed to meet was not there for whatever reason. The person I met might not have been assigned to me because she acted a little flustered. I was a little frustrated with that because I made the appointment a week ago. I think they're a little shortsighted to not have at least one wheelchair to roll a person around or even a stroller. I know it's not their job to provide the equipment, but it just seemed kind of shortsighted if you're trying to sell these places. Someone could come in and need that stuff. They didn't have it, so it was a turn-off.

Lighthouse Pointe was a good facility. They offered a lot of things with the members, a lot of activities, and outings. The staff took us around and showed us multiple rooms for options, the activity rooms, and the schedule of events. Everything was really consolidated. You can get to everything with no issues. There is a lot of space. It's kind of spaced out, so there's a lot of moving room.

Lighthouse Pointe is a beautiful place. They come across as being very organized, very friendly, very clean, and they encourage a good variety of social activities. They offer a good amount of security and safety, they have pull lines in the bathrooms, and the rooms are of a pretty good size, too. They also have studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. They are located off of Great Bridge Boulevard, so there is not as much traffic as there used to be. They are way back up the actual street itself and kind of sit in a cul-de-sac with a really nice wooded area, so it is a really nice, secure environment. I was with a particular women's organization, and we used to always meet in their activity room. We got to talking with some of the staff, and they gave me a tour. As a matter of fact, I just spoke with them not too long ago, and they were encouraging me to come out and take another tour. They used to bring us nice little snacks for our meeting, which was very sweet of them, and everything I had there was very good. The staff members were very friendly, very patient, and very kind.

I liked Lighthouse Pointe. liked the size of the apartments, but I didn’t like that it included three meals. I don’t think you should include three meals in your rent. The tour was good, they have field trips, and there's a Walmart that they can take us to. The person who showed us around was good.

Lighthouse Pointe was very nice and well kept. The people were wonderful. I spoke with some of the residents who seemed very happy there and with the food. The disadvantage to that is that if my mother needed help later, it's not something that they offer. We would have to move her from there, but it was affordable, and that probably would have been our first choice.

Lighthouse Pointe's staff was very pushy. I felt very rushed and wouldn't recommend it to anybody. They didn't have any apartments to show. The food was good, but the reading, relaxation and exercise areas were not comparable. They had an EMT on call and tried to maintain the facility to make it comfortable.

Lighthouse Pointe was nice and well maintained. We were escorted by a management-type person who was very friendly and informative. There weren't any activities going on at the time. The dining area was very bright and cheerful. We did not taste the food, but they seemed to have a good menu.

Lighthouse is a clean, well-organized, and really nice place. They have therapists and people to support you. The price was reasonable, and the staff was outstanding. My father had a little studio apartment with a bedroom, living area, bathroom, and kitchen. He is really pleased with the food and activities for the seniors.

We are very happy with my father being at Lighthouse Pointe. It’s beautifully decorated and has a gorgeous dining area. They have a library, a game room with pool tables, and a bus that takes the residents to the local malls and doctors' appointments if their family can’t do so. We are very happy, but they are not assisted living and don’t have medical services when he gets to a point where he might need help with his meds or other things.

Lighthouse Pointe was very nice, and I was impressed. The staff was very courteous, and professional. I saw a community room, the 1- and 2-bedroom units, and the library. Everything I saw was very well-kept, but I did not see a swimming pool. The apartments were spacious. One thing I didn't like is you cannot cook your own food in the apartment because all the meals are provided, and included in the cost. The dining area was very neat. It smelled good, but I did not taste the food.

My grandmother lives at the Lighthouse Pointe, a great independent living facility that does not offer much assisted living. They provide a lot of activities for the residents. The food is amazing, which is the highlight of the community. They keep it all well updated and have a lot of live musicians come in for mini concerts. It’s a very lovely community and very affordable, but the only downside is that they only have one elevator and it has three floors.

I visited Lighthouse Pointe for my dad. It was a wonderful location, but it will not work for him because he needs more care than they can provide. The staff was very friendly and very professional. The room was clean, nice, and had new furnishings. The atmosphere was awesome, but it won’t work for my dad.

Lighthouse Pointe was beautiful. If I were 20 years older, I would have no problem going in because the average age was 80. I loved the place. I had a tour. The dining room was humongous. It was out in the open and not closed in. Anybody could sit at the table; it was not restricted, and it was pretty cool. They had activities, and they also had the holidays. They were the ones that said you could stay in one of their properties for vacation, which I thought was very cool. The rooms were in nice sizes. I was looking at the two-bedroom, and I thought it was a good size bedroom. The staff was very friendly. They knew everybody's name, which was always a plus. They answer all the questions, if you had questions for them.

A friend lived in Lighthouse Pointe, and it was a very upscale retirement community. It was lovely, but expensive. It's full service -- three meals a day, dining room service, all kinds of activities, and housekeeping. The staff were very friendly, very professional, and very helpful.

My visit to Lighthouse Pointe was great. The staff was friendly. I even have an extended friendship with one of the ladies that took us around. She was just sweet, and we kind of bonded. The place was very ornate, very open, and I loved it. I loved the elevators and the arena type setup where you can see downstairs from the balcony. The food was wonderful, and the service was great. While we were there, someone started playing the piano, a lot of the seniors started singing, and it was a very friendly atmosphere. They were active seniors. We walked into a chair aerobics class that was going on. It was very relaxed, and it was a very beautiful facility. I did like it, but it is totally out of our price range.

I'm staying at Lighthouse Pointe for almost a year now. It's a little bit more than what I want and what I'm accustomed to, but it's really a very nice place. We have a dining room where we have our meals and these are all prepared by the facility. The food is good, it's not my home cooking but it's good. They have many programs and activities scheduled and majority of the residents here are very content, pleased and happy.
