My mother has weak muscles and could barely walk. I sent her to Lake Taylor for rehabilitation to strengthen her due to muscle weakness and due to her meeting insurance requirements of walking 150 ft with walker and climbing stairs with holding onto a rail Anthem decided not to cover her for the whole 21 days and if I paid out of pocket Lake Taylor would not allow her to be in the rehabilitation for therapy.

My mom received terrific rehabilitative care from Michelle, Kim and Nadia up front as well as countless others. Her stay was critical to bring her to her next level. The feeling was always upbeat and everyone was gracious enough to help us with any concerns. They even were a big part of getting her set up in her new facility which is a lot on families to navigate. The facility was immaculate. Highly recommend bringing your loved one here!..Thx Lake Taylor!…❤️

Lake Taylor took wonderful care of our dad and family, and we were there for an extended stay. The staff, especially on the Beechwood wing was the BEST, from the manager to the nurses, aids, social worker, custodial and food service.

I went there to perform surveys for some of the current residents and they seemed very happy with the service the facility provides. The nurses were very hospitable and the management staff (even the front desk) was warm and friendly. Special thanks to the Dir.of Social Services Tierra Wright. This was by far THE BEST facility I''ve encountered on Southside Hampton Roads.
