Lakeview Terrace

I toured Lakeview Terrace. It's just far away. The staff was great. It was very neat and well kept. The unit was nice, but it's limited, like they don't have any pickleball courts or that sort of thing. They do have activities, but I didn't really see much of it.

We went to Lakeview Terrace. It's very positive, and very friendly people. We knew someone who was living there, so they hooked us up with them. We stayed there for a meal. The food is very good. We liked the sound of the food program that they had. We liked it. The rooms were roomy and everything we saw was very clean. We visited the couple that we knew, and they told us the things they liked and didn't like. I mean, nothing is perfect, but we like having a chance to talk to somebody. They have limited activities.

We toured Lakeview Terrace. I like the facilities, the size of the rooms, the location, the grounds, and the whole program. We had lunch over there, and the meal was really good. They have a gymnasium with limited items, they have a nice pool, and they have nice grounds. It is around a lake with a path. I ride a 32-speed bike, so the chance to do what you want to do is there.

We personally are making consideration of Lakeview Terrace as being a place of choice for us at a particular time. We've actually put ourselves on the waiting list. It seems to check all of the boxes for us from the standpoint of location, services, and price. They have tremendous facilities there. They've improved and grown dramatically in recent years. We've watched them as they've grown and made visits out there. We ate in their dining hall. We have friends that live out there, and everyone just speaks very highly of every aspect of it. It's a continuous care type facility, so you can progress from independent living all the way to a nursing home if you need to. The staff members are very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a swimming pool and a small golf facility. They have a variety of different engagement activities that keep the residents active.

I liked the Lakeview Terrace better than the other facility. We looked at two homes, and they were homes. The rooms were nice-sized and bright. They had covered carports included. The appliances came with the home. They had a fridge, microwave, and dishwasher. The salespeople know what they're doing. The staff who showed us around was knowledgeable, pleasant, and informative.

If I were forced to make a choice right now, it would be Lakeview Terrace in Altoona, Florida. They have independent, they have assisted, and they move you into nursing home care if you need it, but also there's a memory care area available if you need that. So the people there, they've got the whole gamut. The downside of it is they've got a real heavy buy-in upfront, and that's kind of a big put off. They're the only one we've toured that has all levels. We were able to tour independent facilities and we got a quick glimpse at assistance. What they do is, if you require assisted living, they will provide what they call the assisted living in your independent living facility, which is a great thing, because you don't need the move. The only time they're going to move you is if you require a nursing home style type of care. The staff who walked us through was very knowledgeable, and she made sure that we got a good sense of their whole facility. They have a good selection, that's the other thing that's a big positive for them. From a studio, they have it all the way up to a two-bedroom with a den, and everything in between. As far as space wise, they're kind of average, maybe a little bit larger than average. They have an excellent selection, and the ones we saw were nice. I love the location, it's rural. The nice thing about them is that they not only have the usual dining room area, but they still have kind of like a hamburger stand where you can get sandwiches and milk and stuff like that. That's where we went to have lunch when we were there. I do not care very much for guacamole, and the sandwich that I had had a lot of guacamole on it.
