Some staff is very helpful, they listen to concerns on behalf of my love one.. I feel that the facility needs air fresheners throughout hallways to reduce the smell of feces.

This is our first time embarking on this journey and they have made the transition very smooth. My mom has adjusted very well. The staff is very patient, caring and attentive. She's says they're so nice and you know they're not usually nice at these places. I love Lakeside for her. They inform me on every area of her progress.

Had an amazing time as we brought our kids ministry to touch the lives of the residents there. The kids sang praise and worship songs and shared stories about how God touched their lives. The staff was amazing.
