Recommended for active or semi active seniors wanting socialization and yet privacy of their own space

I would give it a 4. They had numerous turnover with chefs. The food wasn't very healthy. The staff was amazing! The facility was in great shape. Lots of activities. Some apartments were newly renovated, some were old. We heard rumors of rent increases annually. My mom was there for 3 months.

Needs vs Warmth

I toured late afternoon at about 3:30-4:30pm. Personnel were most friendly & knowledgeable about amenities & scheduled activities. I only saw a couple residents this time of day before they would likely be out for dinner. However, I saw no one engaging in activities, playing cards, watching TV together in community rooms or doing anything together. There were a couple of ladies sitting outside in the private patio/ courtyard. But overall, it had no feeling of sparkle- just institutional functionality. Evenings and weekends likely have more vibe.

Lakewood Estates experience

With the cleanliness it is not their fault they had some water issues but nonetheless. he's been there over a month. He still doesn't have cable and nobody has cleaned his room which I believe they're supposed to be doing every week having said that he doesn't need a lot of care and he probably hasn't said anything to the right people to fix those issues. When it comes to the staff a Five for [name removed](sales) other than that, I can't say.

The Hero of Lakewood Estates Retirement Residence

As a tenant of Lakewood Estates Retirement Residence, I must commend the exceptional service provided by Brooke, the sales manager. From the moment I first toured the facility, Brooke went above and beyond to ensure that my transition into retirement living was smooth and stress-free. Her warmth and professionalism immediately put me at ease, and she took the time to address all of my questions and concerns with patience and understanding. Brooke's extensive knowledge of the residence and its amenities helped me feel confident in my decision to move in. But what truly sets Brooke apart is her unwavering dedication to the well-being of the residents. When a sudden storm caused a power outage in our area, leaving many of us without electricity, Brooke sprang into action. She coordinated with local authorities to ensure that essential services were restored as quickly as possible, and personally checked in on each resident to ensure their safety and comfort during the outage.

[name removed] and the team is something our family likes the most about the Holiday Lakewood Estates community, as well as the residence living there, the location and not to mention the cost. Based on the experience we have had so far we would recommend this community to others.

Community Tour

The facility was not as cleanly as I would have liked it to be. And there was somewhat of a "not that interested in your business" feeling from the sales person.

Good experience

I went with Lakewood Estates because of the friendliness of their staff members that I met during the tour. The apartment sizes are ok for what I need. It is multi -level and it has ramps between the floors except for the top one and the bottom one. They have an elevator for those floors so it is easier to get around. I would recommend them to others who are looking.

Not As Expected

The maintenance team member isn't always willing to assist my loved one. My loved one would like to move as they are unhappy here due to the experience with the food and the value for the money isn't there. The residents are friendly and my loved one likes and enjoys the activities. We thought my loved one was getting assisted living and it turned out to be a retirement community instead.

Tour of Lakewood Estates

Lakewood Estates gave me a great tour. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I just found that another place I looked at was a better fit and suited what I was looking for.

Everyone is extremely friendly and the community is very clean. The staff are very exceptional. I feel like we have gotten a really good deal for what we have here. The rooms are a good size and there is a lot to do. There is a lot to participate in and it has been a very good experience for us.

This tour was fine but the location and the size of the community was the determining factor for what community we wanted to pick.

Highly recommend

We chose Lakewood Estates because when my dad got here he said it was exactly what he was looking for and it fit all of his needs. I think the apartment size he has it good for what he needs at this point. They were very accommodating for me when we were moving my dad in and the staff here seem to be pretty knowledgeable. The chef here is extremely kind and helpful even outside of the kitchen. I would definitely recommend them to others looking.

We would recommend

We chose Lakewood Estates because of the location and they did have all things included such as meals, weekly room cleanings, etc. and the whole package was better than what we were able to find elsewhere. The apartment sizes here were great. They were not big fans of the taste of the food, but I think the facility had a lot going for them we just didn't get to experience it all due to covid. I would definitely recommend them.

My Feedback on Lakeview Estates

The community sometimes has some turnover, and will have to pull back on housekeeping when this happens. It is a pretty good place to live. The only issue my loved one has in the food. It is sometimes cold, this is also in the dining room. The food is currently being delivered to the residents.
