Waltonwood at Lakeside

Happy Visitor671872

We placed my father-in-law in Waltonwood at Lakeside, and everything has been really great. I haven’t had any of the food, but my husband ate there and said it was fine. They have bingo and painting, they do outings and weightlifting classes, and they have a happy hour. They have quite a few activities. The staff had been very helpful, and we haven’t had any problems. It is a very nice facility, and the people are very friendly.

Waltonwood was very nice but out of our price range. It has a beautiful dining room and with lots of activities like gardening and field trips. They do have a memory care and assisted living. The staff was very nice and thorough. It’s very clean, and the grounds were nice; there’s a garden inside the building, and my friend was very comfortable.

We had dinner at Waltonwood (Waltonwood at Lakeside), and it was good. The dining area was very nice. We sat with the residents, and the people seemed friendly. The community is very big and very beautiful. The only drawback is that my mother has to pay all of her own utilities. Their apartments were nice but very pricey. They had a lot of activities and a pool. If my mother wants a prescription for pool therapy, the staff said that they have someone that comes in and it would be covered under M...

Waltonwood at Lakeside was very nice and very modern. They have everything you could possibly want. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable. It’s really a nice place but it’s way too expensive for us.

I give Waltonwood at Lakeside all very high marks -- excellent. The staff is very attentive and caring towards the residents. It is very well staffed and clean with lots of activities. The apartments are nice, and the dining room is very nice too. In the morning, they will have breakfast which is a buffet. A lot of the residents just come down, get breakfast, and take it back to their room. They are free all day long. When they come down for dinner, there’s a menu that they can order from. The p...

My mother and I moved to Waltonwood. It is an independent, assisted living, and memory care facility. The reason why we decided on this is, because although there are a number of Waltonwood facilities within the Michigan area, this is the only one that has an indoor therapy pool, and their apartments have a door that goes out into the courtyard. So, it gives a feeling of home. We have been here for 2 weeks now, and I can say that everything has been outstanding. The staff is great. The apartment...

My mother resides here and loves it. She keeps very busy with all of the activities that are available and has become very sociable since moving in. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only complaint she has is that the food is not very good. The menus always sound great but she says the food is very bland. For what she pays in rent you would think the food would be much better. She complains about it several times a week.

I am living in Waltonwood. It is a beautiful place. I am very happy here, and I am going to stay here. I have no problems with it. It is a great place to be. I chose it because my son lives just a few blocks from me. I am very content here. I am in the independent living, and I have an apartment. It is has two bedrooms, two baths, and my own laundry. They have a lot of activities going on. I play cards, and I enjoyed the place. I have every shopping and every store you can imagine right across ...

The environment at Waltonwood was excellent. We went to the assisted-living side, and it seemed to be fine. The set up of the rooms and the facility seemed excellent, and they were good with interaction. The lady who took us around -- her name was Miss Klaus -- was very good. She knew exactly what she was talking about. She gave me an idea of the level of care the residents are receiving.

Waltonwood is very nice, and when you walk in, it is very inviting. The hallways are very bright, and they’re wide. The place is immaculate, very clean. It has a swimming pool, and it is very nice. The independent living is very nice. The dining area is beautiful; it’s facing the pond in the back, and it has nice pink tablecloths. For everyday use, it is very nicely done. The only thing is it has no washer and dryer in the rooms. The staff is very friendly and very nice. They also have activitie...

Waltonwood at Lakeside is a clean and a well-appointed facility. The staff are friendly and available. They have 24/7 availability. I have eaten the food, but I would say, from a healthcare perspective, it's a good facility. They have a full calendar of activities. They have crafts on site. They have a movie room, and they have a lounge area with pool tablets and different activities. They schedule events right there in their dining room that include music and live entertainment; they have an on...

SENIOR CITIZENS BEWARE!!! If you or a loved one is going to move into a senior citizen complex soon and you are considering Waltonwood at Lakeside PLEASE read my review first. There are several things you need to know about. Waltonwood comes across picture perfect, and for the amount of money seniors must pay to live here - it better be perfect, but it is not. First, they do not have 24 hour first aid individuals on staff (at least this location does not). Second, their food is unsatisfactory mo...

Waltonwood is beautiful. I would think it's more for assisted living rather than memory care. The rooms were beautiful and nice in size. The assisted living was beautiful. If I didn't really have big health problems that's probably where I'd go. The staff was really nice. The dining area was beautiful. They had a café area, a social room with a big, flat TV, a therapy pool, billiard room, a fitness room, and they had a beautiful scenic courtyard. It's a place where I'd want to live. I'm 60, but...

My uncle has already moved in to Waltonwood at Lakeside. We chose it basically because it was the one that he preferred to live in after we reviewed a lot of the other facilities that were given to us. The facility is a 5-star. The staff is very pleasant, very encouraging, and on top of everything that happens there. The facility is very clean and they maintain very well the grounds. Currently he is on the independent living side, but he does receive some assistance. He has an apartment is of ve...

I moved my father here a couple of weeks ago. I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the level of knowledge and care from the executive director, (who is new here) down to the housekeeping. Although the place is very nice and clean, which is what attracted me. It is all show, and poor care. They have sent my dad to the E.R. twice in one week. (Both time's was without my approval) They do not realize that when you have dementia all of the change makes things worse. My dad was doing great when he mov...

It was a nice and pleasant place. It was bright and airy. I liked it, but it was too expensive for me. Everybody was friendly. We had dinner there and the food was excellent. I would recommend it to other, if they could afford it.

I preferred Waltonwood because of the appearance and price. The facility was clean. The apartments had big windows and bright. It was just the right size. The staff seemed pleasant. The residents all seemed happy.

I had visited my aunt at this location before her passing several times and was pleased with the upkeep of this facility. It was clean, hygienic and the staff was kind. They seemed to be more interested than the hospital staff that attended to her before being taken here. The meals were prompt enough. The food was not like a hospital but more like a home made cafe. The decor was also stimulating and kept her claustrophobia at bay. Overall satisfying to see my aunt cared for by a better than aver...

My parents have lived here for several years, first on independant side which wasn't to bad, but now to the first level of assisted living and its terrible. They don't follow directives, they have big employee change overs, especially in management positions. Complaints fall on deaf ears. They claim they have a hydration program, which my father needs, well all that program does in put a glass of water on the table "they can't force them to drink" but then they don't even try to get him to drink...
