I went to The Lakes at Jefferson. It's a very nice facility. They acknowledged that I was there and everything, and so I would say they were good. The room size was good, too. It was a very clean place.

I visited The Lakes at Jefferson. I went there for independent living. It was expensive, but if I had a lot more money, I would probably take that place because it's beautiful.

We toured The Lakes at Jefferson. The staff was good. The facility was very nice. We liked the layout. We saw the room for getting a haircut and an exercise room.

CriticalStarted great, then service deteriorated.
Buyer beware. PT/OT are excellent. But, facility changed its scope to fill 2nd floor with memory care & clients who require prodigious amounts of personal care. Staffing has NOT increased for needs, yet Lakes assures meets PA requirement. All 2nd floor who are capable are getting short shrift & largely must take care of themselves. Baths 2x/week don't occur anymore due to staff is constantly tied up with more dependent residents. Food is lousy, nutrition poor. Weird assigned seating for meals. Scheduled menu items …

PositiveOur experience with The Lakes at Jefferson
My mom was a resident at The Lakes at Jefferson for a short time before she passed away. I think that the place was beautiful, but the management was very slow to respond to anything. I also don't think that my mom got the assistance that she needed for her age. I feel that the staff needs to be more hands on with the residents. For example: my mom needed help to get to the bathroom. After they got her there they would leave and wait outside her room with the door closed. I feel that someone should have been there …
