The clients will always be the most wonderful thing about Lakeland Village. 1 star for the job having good benefits. 1 star for those clients who made my years worth it.

A staff member named Ashley from this facility has been going around social media sharing experiences between clients, including but not limited to how clients bite, kick, and abuse her, and how good of a person she is for 'putting up with it'. The director (Kristina Frontino) has been contacted with nothing done regarding this, so I doN't trust this as a place to send yOuR paRents or familY members in need of help to. please look iNto your stAff!! if This is the sOcial media look they're okay with then i do not Recommend!

My sister has been a resident at Lakeland since 1957. I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful the people who care for Debbie are. It is always tragic to have to place a family member, but to know they are cared for lovingly and carefully is priceless.
