I met with Grant the “executive director”during a recent tour and was honestly pretty unsettled. He seemed distracted, unfocused, and wasn’t able to answer basic questions clearly. Most concerning was the white powder visibly falling from his nose onto his mustache during our conversation. It was hard to ignore and raised serious questions about his professionalism and fitness to lead.

A year ago I gave a review in which I praised the care provided by Lakeside Park for my husband. Now a year later, I have the same positive feelings towards Lakeside Park and the care my husband is getting. While there have been some administrative and caregiver staff changes, the quality of care has continued to be excellent. I am thrilled that many of the same individuals who cared for my husband at the beginning, are still there providing gentle and constant care. Of course, the cost has gone up as my husband's needs have increased and the cost of living for all has increased. It is very reassuring the everyone knows my husband, the kitchen, the maintenance, the cleaning, the administration, the med techs, and definitely the care providers. Our family is pleased to have Lakeside Park help us through this difficult time.

Finding a safe, comfortable & caring place is so stressful, nobody prepares you for this journey. However the salesperson here was absolutely more than we could have asked for. Far more than sales. He was calm and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend. Thank you to Lakeside Park.
