My soon-to-be 94 year old father has lived there for almost two years and has had the best treatment. The new facility is very much like home and the nursing staff is wonderful. Dad actually seems to be getting more and more engaging recently...and I believe they are spending time increasing his mobility, which must be affecting his mind. Thanks to the great staff at Lakeview.

This was the 2nd time my mom was in Lakeview. She was transitioned to nursing facility and hospice team brought in. We could be with her as much as we wanted. Nursing staff for the red block were FABULOUS!!! So supportive so friendly kind compassionate. While it was a tough road to be on, I could NOT have wanted her anywhere else! They monitored her constantly, providing every possible comfort. They were of great support to me, my sister. Very informative on her status thru the dying process. I will never forget their compassionate professional service to her until the end.

My mother was a resident for almost 2 years, prior to her recent passing. This is a wonderful place for your loved one to be. The care received is professional, caring, thorough, and dignified. I would recommend Lakeview to anyone who is looking for care for a family member.

For the most part I'm happy with the care my mother is getting. I am however upset that my mother says there is one nurse that treats her badly and talks mean to her. I have worked in nursing homes and know that patients can be trying at times but you must still treat them with respect and kindness. For this particular nurse of she can't be compassionate with aging people she shouldn't be working in a home.
