LakeHouse Fond Du Lac

Heidi

Lake View Place was very nice. I liked everything about it. The people were wonderful. I was greeted by Edith and we started on the first floor and we looked at the different common areas and the dining room. I thought it was just gorgeous. I would have never thought I was in an assisted living area. We looked at three different apartments and they were all very nice and very well laid out. They have a stackable washer and dryer, a stove, and a refrigerator. Some of them included a dishwasher and a microwave. I thought they were a great size and I feel that my mother would be comfortable in all three of the different sizes that we looked at. I was able to witness a bingo game and they looked like they were enjoying themselves. I was very impressed overall with everything that I saw. They were very knowledgeable about everything and shared the different costs and gave me some information about the VA program so that I could look into that. They had several different areas that had a nice concrete patio with tables and chairs. But during the summer, they told me that they have cushions out there and umbrellas, and there are flower beds and pots of flowers. Just from the looks of it, I can imagine how beautiful it must be.

It was a very nice and well-laid out community. The social aspects are something my mother was looking for, and they seem to have that. Also, the availability of the bus for her to go shopping and different activities was a plus in looking at a community. The rooms and the apartments, the ones we looked at, were completely redone. They were in very nice condition, freshly painted, the carpeting and everything were in really great shape. The manager and Chris, I think it was, they gave us the tour, both of them. They gave us very good information and background and have emailed and kept in touch to see if we had made any kind of decision and if we had any more questions. They gave us a sample menu and that type of thing. We weren't there at lunchtime, we did not sample anything. We just looked at the menu, we did not eat anything. They have assisted living and independent living; you stay in the same apartment.

It is a beautiful facility, but it was not a good fit for my brother-in-law. This place is definitely for a higher class or more professional type retirees. My brother-in-law is very high-end disabled, but you can tell that he is a challenge. I just felt like it was above our reach for a good place for him. The rooms were elegant. Two people gave us a tour, and they're both awesome, friendly, and welcoming. It was like being on a yacht or a cruise ship. You could choose what you wanted from your entrees. It was a very nice place. They do have activities.

It is a very nice facility. It's clean, the staff is very helpful, proactive, and friendly. We're very happy that we found something like that because it actually seems like a home, like an apartment. The apartments are nice and larger than the other places we looked at. My aunt has her own washer and dryer, full-sized refrigerator, and stove. They have a call button for her to wear around her neck, so she's able to call anyone at anytime. The staff is very nice there. I know they have bingo and crochet classes, and they have exercise classes geared towards the elderly. They have a transportation bus that takes the elderly to appointments, and they also take them shopping.

Betty

The tour was very good. The one who toured me was good, but she was quite new at her job; she was not quite thorough. She answered everything I asked and did a good job of showing us around. The apartments were very nice. I basically looked at the 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. They kind of have an assortment of different sizes and set ups. They were kept very nice, updated, and just comfortable. It was nice, but a bit small. They had their amenities, but nothing big and extravagant. They have a community room, a game room, and a library.

We toured here. My mom was very much looking forward to going there. It's close to where I live. The people that we met were absolutely wonderful. We met with the executive director, we met some of the staff along the way, and we met with some of the residents. It was clean and beautiful, and the people looked happy. The staff members were attentive, kind, and thorough. They followed up with everything and they explained everything. The facility has easy access to dining and to activities, it has a beautiful courtyard with easy access, and it's lovely.
