Wonderful Facility but issues with missing laundry

The reason it is not all fives is because they lost several articles of my mom's clothing and her bedding. We were never informed that this is a major issue and I confirmed this in speaking with other residents. One day my mom's laundry and laundry basket were located on a different floor in the facility. Anyone that moves into Echo Lake should be advised that they should label all of their clothing. We were not informed of any of this. It would've been helpful had we known.

Unsettling

Everyone was professional, compassionate and friendly. After months of visiting and evaluating many independent living facilities, we chose Echo. Unfortunately, 2 1/2 days after moving in, my wife was taken to the hospital by ambulance and could never return to Echo. We had to relocate to another facility a month later for several reasons.

We had relatives there that provided us real-time input. Admin staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Staff is very responsive and generally friendly. Facility is very clean and updated.

Where everyone knows your name!

Lovely facility. Public ares, the rooms, everything is clean and well maintained. To paraphrase, it is the place “where everyone knows your name.” From the smiling concierge as you first arrive, to the Nurse and Med Tech, to the aides and kitchen staff, each person knew your name. Just a great atmosphere. I recommend it highly.

Beautiful place, professional staff

Echo Lake community is absolutely beautiful and very clean. The staff and residents welcomed our mom during her respite stay. We were very pleased with the staff involvement and professionalism. We have chosen to make this my mom‘s new home in the near future and are confident she will adjust well with our support and the support of the staff. Echo Lake also has wonderful activities for residents.

Echo Lake review

Echo Lake is understaffed and we would not recommend assisted living to other families. There are many areas they could work to improve on. However our loved one has since passed so not sure if their staffing has changed for the better

Great option for independent and assisted living

The activities offered for the residents are great! Still trying to figure out the personal care and getting into a routine. The meals are great. Mom is still acclimating herself

A Great Community

It's a great community. They are seriously lacking staff, which is just a sign of the times. And that carries through into the dining experience and the care. But the staff that is there are good. I would just recommend asking about the staff to resident ratio. But everyone is very friendly and helpful. The residents are very nice as well. The facility is very clean. When I go into the elevators and the rooms, I can smell a good clean smell like everything has just been cleaned.

Highly Recommend

It's a great place to have your loved one go. They really care for your mother or father you have going there. They exceed all expectations. They provide a plethora of activities. The staff does a great job of communicating with us regarding anything with our loved one. They have a doctor that comes weekly and we can make an appointment that is done on site for the residents. Her 1 bedroom apartment is a nice sized. She doesn't have to cook if she doesn't want too. They will deliver the food to her room but she enjoys the food options for a charge. I can't say enough about them. We can sleep at night knowing she is well taken care of.

A great place for Mom

The staff that I have spoken with are really nice and seems really helpful. My loved one is in memory care and sometimes gets upset about being in a locked area. This is a good community and I would recommend looking into it for you or your loved one. It is hard being away and not being able to see everything and not being able to go with what my mother says. They also have someone in the hair salon twice a week for the residents but it can be hard to get into. They also do not have a lot of variety on the menu for the memory care residents and I wish they could update the menu.

My tour review

This community was a little more pricey than what I was looking for. Also my loved ones did not want to drive that far to see my other loved one. This was a very informative and good tour at this community.

Tour of Echo Lake

Echo Lake is a new facility and it is so beautiful. We did not move my mom in here due to the secluded location, but I would tell others to check it out.

I would recommend

We chose Echo Lake because it is new so it is bright and cheery and clean. They also had some incentives going on. They do not have a lot of activities provided in memory care. I gave the care a 3 because they are understaffed, the people that they do have are great, they just need more since they are growing. The food is excellent. I would recommend to others looking.

my review of Echo Lake

I am very happy with the care and the caregivers. There is some turnover with the staff. I would like to see some continuity with the caregivers. We have been very happy with echo lake and am so glad we chose them. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Supportive and Compassionate Community

Echo Lake is a great community. The staff at the community do a great job. I don't feel my loved ones are in danger; however, the community is just short on staff. Some of the activities available are exercise classes, pickleball, game clubs, trips out to different areas in the town, concert broadcasts, and more in the independent living area. The community is nice so my loved ones can be in different areas and be able to visit each other. On the memory care area they provide exercise classes, meal preps, staff assisted the residents engaged with different activities and going to meals. Echo Lake provides the option to live in the memory care area, if you are able and willing to live with your loved one who has memory care needs. They have apartments available for the residents to use if they choose this option. It has a resort or hotel feel in this brand new community. The ceilings are tall and the hallways are wide. This makes it nice for my loved ones.
