  • I would recommend

    I chose The Lakeshore because it was a smaller community and everyone seemed very friendly, I felt more at home here. I have only been here a short amount of time but it has been a good experience so far. I do know that they have a lot of activities provided and they are trying their best to do as much as they can with some of the covid restrictions still in place. The meals here are chef prepared and we get to choose off a menu. The chef really goes out of their way to try and make it accommodating and nice for everyone that moves in here. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

  • Genuine Staff

    I decided to move to The Lakeshore because the staff members were so pleasant, helpful, and genuinely understanding. So selecting The Lakeshore was really very easy. The people here realized I was discouraged after losing my sweetheart. So it was comforting to know I was going to receive emotional support as well as personal assistance. I am looking at this change of residence as a positive step. I am very happy here and looking forward not backward. I am ready for the next chapter!

  • A good fit for our family

    We chose this facility because of the view, it overlooks the lake. We also liked the value for the money as well as the location. The room sizes here seemed average compared to others that we looked into. the facility is older, but it is well maintained. Overall, I would highly recommend them to others looking.
