Happy Dad

Room size was a great surprise. So was the food. The staff is very accommodating of my dad's needs. Housekeeper is wonderful and so is front desk staff. Very clean. Lots of places to do anything: read, walk, play cards, work on a puzzle, exercise. And the choice of activities is wonderful. Lots to choose from. I am very very pleased.

My Mom loves it!

My Mom moved into Lakewood estates over a year ago and loves it! She has a fantastic group of friends that eat meals together and enjoy patio time, shopping trips and outings together. It is such an improvement over her living alone in her house. I feel so much better knowing she is in a safe community with neighbors looking out for each other.

My experience here was a wonderful first look at options for my parents. [name removed] was absolutely amazing as a representative for the location. I felt welcome and she was warm and interested in the well being of the residents during my visit. The residents were well taken care for, and my interactions with them were genuine. I would recommend this community for a visit to see if this is a good fit for your needs.

Overall would recommend

It's very nice. The inside needs some TLC but renovations are coming soon. The apartment size is great. The staff is fabulous. I would recommend the community to others searching for senior living once the renovations are completed.
