Review for Lakeview Retirement Community
A very loving place! Lots of varied activities do and caring staff who encourage involvement. We picked this community, because she was not ready for assisted living... but not fully independent either. All meals are provided, and she has a safety bracelet to push or emergencies... but still has her own apartment. We can hire a nurse. [name removed] on the occasion it's needed. Basically holding off totally with assisted living until it's needed.

Great place to live!
The staff is outstanding! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They go that extra step! Although Lakeview is strictly independent living, there are many little things they do for us that go above and beyond. This is where Lakeview really shines! There are so many activities, you can't do them all. They are designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests and encourage participation. Lakeview is pricey. For the most part, everything is high quality, but there are still a few areas that, in light of the price, could be improved.

an answer to prayer
The effort of all the staff to make each resident feel known, and valued, cannot be understated. Lakeview feels like a home, and the people in it a family. The variety of activities, and the fun the staff bring to them, encourages much participation, which is so important. Knowing my mom is well looked after, within her independence, is such a relief to us. The only thing that I hope changes for her is that she would try some excursions off site.

Lakeview Retirement Community review
I absolutely LOVE it here! I have a lovely 2 bedroom, bath apartment with a full kitchen. I have a nice living room with a garage available. The community has a full theater, activity rooms, but the only utility cost except cell phones. Everyone here is friendly and happy. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would absolutely recommend Lakeview Retirement community to other families.

Great Place to Live!
Lakeview is a wonderful place to live! It is beautiful, professionally managed, has abundant amenities, and there is always something to do. Not only is the staff friendly, but the residents are too! We felt welcome from the very beginning. All that being said, it is pricey. But if you want high quality all around and can afford it, Lakeview is great! I would definitely recommend Lakeview Retirement Community to other families.

about Lakeview Retirement Community

Lakeview Retirement Community offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Lakeview Retirement Community 9.3 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
