I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I went to Lakewood. The pool was really nice. I have a friend living there, so that was nice also. It's pretty big, which makes me a little nervous. If it is too big, am I going to be able to get from A to B if I'm all the way across the campus? Most of them have walking paths that are covered, so you don't have to worry too much about the outside weather and stuff like that, but this one was nice. The waiting list wasn't astronomical; it was probably two years. The room sizes were good. I think…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

As an out of town family member of a long term resident (15 yr.) I can no longer recommend Lakewood due to what I have observed this past year. At the time my parents made the decision and sizeable investment required to enter independent living (Villas) assurances were made LW provided a full continuum of care available to residents and implied staff would periodically assess any changes in resident medical status, including cognitive, to transition to differing levels of care, including assisted living. Our mothe…

I visited this facility

Lakewood was very impressive. Unfortunately, it was during COVID, so we didn't get to tour the living facilities. They had just finished renovations. Their staff was really pleasant and nice. I even put a deposit down there. That's a buy-in, and I would love to go there, but they're a little bit more expensive than I can handle. They have two meals a day, which are lunch and dinner. They had two or three restaurant-type things. They had their main dining room, which was like restaurant service. Then …

I visited this facility

I toured Lakewood two years ago. We really liked it. My parents just couldn't afford it because they had to buy-in. You had to pretty much sell your property or use all your assets to put money down. It's almost like you're buying a house. It was a beautiful property. They had nice putt-putt areas, a walking trail, an indoor pool, and a garden area. It was a place I would love to be for myself. It was a nice facility. They even had individual houses that you could start off in, but we also liked the …

I visited this facility

We went to Lakewood and toured that, but we're not too comfortable in it. The apartments were a little bit smaller than the other place, although they have a wide variety of them. Some were bigger, some were smaller, but the ones we were pre-qualified for were a little bit smaller. The staff was fine.

I want to say how amazing Lakewood has been over the last few weeks. Their safety precautions and restrictions were early and on target, and they have made life in the community pleasant and easy for residents who are self-isolating. My mum's meals are delivered as desired, residents have gotten beautiful free breakfast bags this week, and groceries can be delivered to the security gate and brought up to the residents. Exercise classes - her favorite - have been on the Lakewood TV, so she hasn't had to mi…
