would NOT recommend living here.<br>My experience has been extremely disappointing, stressful, and honestly upsetting. Management is slow to respond, maintenance requests take forever, and the overall upkeep of the property is very poor.<br>The worst issue has been the pest problem. There have been rats in the kitchen, which is completely unacceptable in any living<br>environment. No matter how clean you try to keep things, this should never be something residents have to deal with.<br>It feels unsanitary and embarrassing.<br>The food situation is also terrible. The meals are often poor quality and unappetizing, and residents are not allowed to get the amount of food they actually need or want. It feels restrictive and neglectful, especially when people rely on these meals daily.<br>On top of that, the level of care is extremely inconsistent. It often feels like staff only start paying attention when the state is in the building.<br>Outside of inspections, concerns don't seem to be taken seriously unless you constantly push and follow up.<br>For the amount of money being charged, I expected a safe, clean, and supportive place to live. Instead, it has been the complete opposite. Save yourself the stress and seriously consider other options before choosing to live here.<br>•••

Hi! I love Sage Lake for our parents! We carefully looked at all options in the Cov/ Mad/Mand area and knew it was the right place for us! The amazing staff has been there for years, so they they help guide us through the daily changes and challenges we are facing. Sage offers daily activities, 3 meals a day, a clean and happy environment, indoor outdoor gathering areas, and so much more. I feel blessed knowing my family is in the right hands for this stage of our lives. Thank you, Sage staff! Cherise Sale

Excellent experience from the initial tour with Alaina through move-in. The staff was welcoming, professional, and very attentive. Alaina took the time to answer all of our questions and make us feel comfortable. The community is beautiful, clean, and has a warm, caring atmosphere. She and the rest of the staff made what could have been a stressful transition a very smooth and positive experience. Highly recommend!
