Not so "Stellar." Recently moved loved one out of here. The place has declined in recent years. It looks nice and the folks working there are friendly, but what's up with the food in that place? You cannot get a hamburger (or anything else beef) there. Everything seems to be out of a box, like microwavable food. And they didn't have something as simple as sugar-free syrup...and in a place where there are dietary restrictions, you'd think they'd have sugar-free options. They weren't just "out" of it...they don't make it available. For the money, there are better places. Please keep looking...you will find better.

I took a tour. Staff, food, and the building everythings just on another level. Clean, solid, and way better than most places I’ve seen.

I would give this community more than 5 stars if I could.<br><br>The team at Lakewood Reserve are truly some of the most passionate people I have come across in senior living. You can absolutely tell upon welcome that the people who work here are here for the right reasons.

To say one positive thing about this place, I would love to thank Sam in the dining hall, who is very sweet and always treats my mother with respect. She loves him and always enjoys talking to him. Now for everything else.<br><br>Please, for your own sake, sort by most recent reviews and take note of the others who say this place has gone downhill, quickly, over the last two months or so. The elevator has been down for over a month with no sense of urgency to repair it, despite their seniors obviously needing it.<br><br>It is very expensive to live here and I've often felt like she wasn't getting enough for what she paid. I chose this place because it advertised significant resident support, and I really believed Lakewood Reserve could support me during a difficult transition in my mother's and my own life. However, they have only made it more difficult. Recently I received an enormous bill more than what her rent and care should conceivably be. After calling and attempting to sort this out, Lakewood Reserve was unable to provide an itemized bill for what they were charging me.<br><br>Their level of care simply does not match what is advertised. For example, if you call and ask they have full shower assistance. However, to this day, no employees have showered my mother. When asked, they consistently say they will not shower her, so I have to come over and shower her myself, despite paying for the additional support. So I've removed this service, but I will never get the money back that I paid for the service they said they offered and then refused to carry out.<br><br>Another time I went to take my mother out to lunch. Before I left, I wanted to ask a support staff a question about her medication refill/an upcoming doctor appointment. Since I could not find staff around, I pressed her life alert tag, and we ended up waiting 30 minutes before anyone came. That is simply outrageous, I can only imagine what would have happened if she was actually having an emergency.<br><br>If you're looking for assistance in your assisted living, or care in your memory care, I'd look elsewhere. Very disappointed.
