Friendly Staff
The food was hyped up as restaurant quality when we checked out the place, but it is pretty bland. Short-staffed. It takes forever for maintenance. Yesterday, it took almost two hours to get some toilet paper. I decided to go out to the supermarket to get the toilet paper myself. When I got back, the resident just got the toilet paper. There should be rolls put in the bathroom when the room is cleaned. I spoke to one of the Directors about staff entering the resident's room. The maintenance guy didn't even knock and wait for a response on the female resident's door. Nor did he ring the bell. He put his card in, and went in the room, surprising the resident who was in the hallway. She had just gotten out of the bathroom. It thoroughly startled her and threw her off. Because we have a Ring camera installed in the room, I was able to capture the incident and report it. The resident moved in on [date removed]. Her name plate is still not next to her door. They keep telling me it's in process. Everything is in process. I spoke to another resident and asked her how she liked the place. She said it was ok, but it took a long time for "stuff to happen once you request it". I concur. The Internet systems are unstable. They need to have cameras outside since the gate remains open. Staff are pleasant. I think they are understaffed in certain areas. The management is adequately staffed, but not the other departments. [name removed], one of the laundry staff, is amazing! The rooms are pretty nice. The grounds are well maintained. They need more parking.

Our experience with The Lakes at Banning
My biggest problem with The Lakes is their maintenance and upkeep. often doors auto open/close fail to work, and it is not days, but weeks before repaired. Likewise, when activity director at memory care left, it was months without finding new hire. They absolutely should have had a temporary person on tap. The tv is not a replacement, especially since they tend to hype their facility as exceptional. BUT I do need to say that I appreciated the guidance from the industry, you helped me greatly during trying times

Review for The Lakes at Banning
My loved one is comfortable at The Lakes Banning because my family members visit him often. The supervisor of caregivers is often hostile. A number of families have removed their loved ones. There are a lot of vacancies and caregivers are in short supply. We are so disappointed.

Wonderful caring staff, Residents engage in activities. Definitely recommend.
The food is pretty good and the Friendliness of staff, they really care. Sharing bathrooms is my least favorite aspect. I like the family type atmosphere and the activities. Also of consideration for me was close proximity to my house. I visited my Dad about 4 times a week and most of the staff and some residents became familiar to me. I felt welcomed every visit.

Great facilities, but an increase of dedicated staff needed.
he rooms are spacious, and the facility is nice. It is important to have the facility conveniently located so that family can make frequent visits. Getting to know the staff is important to making sure loved ones get the best care. I believe there are staff shortages throughout the industry. Research is important to make sure the facility can and will at least hire help from a staffing registry when needed.

Nice community, caring staff, Activities
The Lakes at Banning is expensive, but the care is good. The only thing that makes it expensive is it's private pay only, no insurance, but still the best place in the immediate area. There are a lot of different activities in the Memory care, which is where He is at now. They have group exercise after Breakfast (even in wheelchair), Bingo, a game where they show a picture of something famous and the group tries to identify it ie: Grand Canyon, Great Wall of China etc. They win prizes like Candy Bars. Live entertainment and someone reads out loud to them. Those are the ones I know of so far. Based on our experience so far we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

Count the cost
It is expensive and the family needs to provide toiletries and depends if needed. They will call an ambulance at the drop of a hat and you may have ambulance bill. Says it is all inclusive, but that is not 100% true.

Our Tour Experience
Overall I thought The Lakes at Banning was very nice. It was clean and all of those things. The people were very nice. For my personal taste, it was kind of dark in there with the furnishings and things. So it just didn't appeal to me. We didn't get to try the food here, but having moved into a different community, I would recommend that anywhere you go you try the actual food the residents are being served, if you can.

Highly recommend
We chose The Lakes at Banning because they were recommended to us and it was the only 5 star facility on the list. We went and toured and she really liked it as did we. It is a good value for the money compared to where she was at before. She has a 1 bedroom apartment on the ground floor and it is about 570 square feet and some apartments have balconies. The staff members are very helpful and she loves the food that is served, the meals are all chef prepared. We would highly recommend to others looking.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
