Moving mom from her home to an Assisted Living Facility was something we dreaded but also something we could no longer delay if we wanted her to be safe. When we found Waltonwood Lakeside, we felt such support every step of the way. Mikaela, the Move-In Coordinator, was so generous with her time and expertise, and support. She answered all the myriad of questions I had about paperwork and move in plans with patience and kindness. Her support meant so much and she was there with us through move in day and beyond. Big grateful thanks to Mikaela!<br>Since move in day, other care staff members have really helped mom acclimate to her new surroundings. Moriah, Life Enrichment Manager, has spent quite a bit of time getting to know mom and encouraging her to join in activities and escorting her down to those first few meals and activities when everything is new and a bit overwhelming. Gina, the Executive Director has been incredibly helpful and available to respond to any questions and requests we’ve had. Tonicka, the Residence Care Manager has connected with mom, too, and helped her join in with the rest of the community. My mom keeps saying “everyone is so nice”. Evelyn, at the concierge desk has been looking for ways to support mom, too. I don’t know all the care staff yet or their names but I am comforted knowing mom is safe in a place with such kind and caring people. Everyone at Waltonwood Lakeside has made this difficult transition so much better than I thought possible. Thank you all so much!
