It is a very homey and beautiful choice.

Beautiful and quiet location on Silver Lake Reservoir. Fairly rural community. Have to travel by car or Wingate van for shopping. Rooms are a better than many of the other facilities I visited for my cousin. Has an on campus rehab facility across the parking lot. Wingate residents get priority if needed. An excellent choice.

Our Family Experience

We moved our loved one to long term care at Wingate and it has been a wonderful place. The nurses and staff are great. Both my parents are there and I would highly recommend it. The place is clean and the patients are clean and well taken care of, plus great daily activities.

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

My husband was treated horribly in this place, please consider other options for your loved one. He had many medical issues, including dementia, and was considered a fall risk when he was admitted to this facility. However, within 1 night, he fell 8 times as he kept trying to get up. After only 2 nights in this place, they sent him back to the hospital, where he died a week later. He was very sick and was not going to be with us for very long, but the neglect in that place was astounding.

I visited this facility

Wingate At Silver Lake was very, very clean. The people were very nice. It seemed as though the residents were pleased where they were and all their needs were met. It just seemed like a very, very nice community. They showed us their recreation room, the actual rooms themselves as far as the amount of room that they have and whether or not it's private or it's adjoining with another resident, and they showed us where the nurse's stations were or the dining area. They gave us a whole overview. We&apo…

This place is horrible. My mom has been there for a week so far and every day i have to tell them she doesn't eat meat. But they give it to her any way. The CNA's are nice and helpful but some of the nurse's are rude. I t seems like they only have one nurse on at a time. They don't seem to treat the elderly very nice. The drawer's in the common area are very dirty. The air conditioning in the rooms leak and they just put blankets down.

I visited this facility

In visiting the skilled facility, I was struck by the kindness and compassion the nursing staff showed to the residents. They went above and beyond to meet the needs of the patients and interacted with them so kindly. Was very sweet to see.
