Brookdale Lakeway

I went here for pulmonary rehab straight from Cedar Park Regional. My lung doc thought I should be here and do some rehab before going to my apartment. I never/never received any pulmonary rehab. No matter what I kept saying they kept treating my like a stroke patient with memory loss. Got out of there and back home. Dangerous place.

Overall, I wasn't impressed during my visit to Brookdale Lakeway. I think the price was ridiculous for the quality of the rooms. The rooms were very below-average in comparison to my expectations. The staff seemed fine, and the manager was nice. They were very helpful and informative.

My mom is at Brookdale Lakeway, and the facility seems to be OK. We chose it because of its location.

The insides and out are nice and all but what counts is what's on the inside. When it comes down to it the staff is a major problem here. They lack motivation and treat the residents like cattle rather then kind hearted sometimes misplaces seniors. I can only assume that the employees are super happy to come to this job everyday as is. Be carful as well if you trust unprofessional and rude people like this around your beloved mom or dad then this is the perfect place for them.

The staff at Summit at Lakeway were very nice. The rooms were very clean and nice. They do offer a lot of activities. I highly recommend this facility. What I like about this place is its cleanliness and how it smelled when we went in. It didn’t smell a regular retirement home; it smelled clean.

I am now residing at the Summit and what I like best is the professionalism of the staff. They are quite knowledgeable and caring. I am in a very nice room, which is clean, functional and roomy.

We needed a place that's in Lakeway because that's where my brother lives. Luckily, there was an opening at The Summit, so we placed my father there. Currently, he is adjusting really well. I highly recommend this facility. They have gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. They gave him a first floor room, so he can go outside and smoke. He is also allowed to bring his dog and they take the dog for walks because my dad isn't able to walk his dog anymore. The staff members are very friendly and the food is great. I can't think of anything negative at all. It has just been perfect.

The Summit at Lakeway was one of the best in Central Texas. This was the reason why I chose this facility for my parents. Everything was there, so I wouldn't have to move them from one place to another. The staff exceeded my expectations. A really great place.

It has ambience, tries to emulate the best kind of hotels and is well-staffed. It is three stories tall, with the bottom level provided with private gardens/yards. My friend is staying in a two room flat with a kitchen alcove. The staff is pleasant, attentative and, generally, very professional. The Activities Director is imaginative and resourceful. All in all my friend is getting all the support and help needed. As a guest you're politely and courteously received, and you can stay for lunch or supper.

My Mother was a resident of The Summit at Lakeway for 2 years. She suffered from Alzheimer's Disease, COPD, CHF, and other diseases. The wonderful attention and care she received from the staff assisted us in keeping her away from several hospitalizations. They treated her as a member of their family. The staff were responsive to any and all of our questions and concerns. We were able to request and attend "care plan" meetings to discuss our mother's care.

While i do believe that the staff was taking good enough care of my mom at most times . at others it seemed as though there was no way for her to get the care that she needed due to overcrowding of the smaller facility. Altough my mom can take good care of herself right now i am not so sure about the future. What am i going to do when she cant take care of herself and these staffmembers are so buysy that she endures neglect or minor abuse. i do believe though that this place does deserve four stars because at least for now she is well taken care of.And plus my mom loves to eat and they have an excellent buffet style complementry cafeteria. which my mother just loves because she loves to eat. It also has a good location seeing as wich its not that far from my current location in dallas. To summarize the staff is friendly but understaffed.They are excellent at what they do whenever they can do it. And it is a thriving community of people in their golden years. plus it has a very lush rich landscape

The Summit at Lakeway assisted living facility was in the same vicinity where we were visiting the area to look at possible places for my brother's friend to live in. The facility looked like it was well tended the grounds were neat. The outside area was ample, with plenty of seating areas to enjoy. My brother's friend really likes living next to a park like area, so this would make him very happy. The variety of activities offered was impressive. Just about any hobby you might have can be accommodated and more. The staff goes out of its way to suggest stimulating things to do from gardening, to reading, going on nature walks, playing games and outings in the community. The rooms we viewed were all very clean, well-kept and inviting kind of resembling what you might find at a hotel that rents out small apartments but a bit more personal. The lunch we saw while there looked really appetizing. The menu was extensive so we were really impressed with the variety of food selections. We liked that the exercise room was large and had a variety of options to choose from. The library had a large book selection and also visit the local libraries. Overall, the facility really looked like a place anyone would like to live. We didn't see anything missing - it just looked like it was all right there.

I took a field trip to The Summit when I was a junior in high school. Initially, I was a little apprehensive of visiting the residents. However, I soon began to feel right at home. It was a very nice building and very well equipped. All of the people there seemed genuinely happy. The staff treated them very well. Each person had their own apartment. They were equipped with a bathroom, television and decently sized bed ( I felt the individual bathrooms were very important.) Also, everybody was free to equip their apartment with whatever furniture and decoration they wanted. The result was a multitude of stylish and unique rooms. It gave the whole place more of a homely feel. While there i even got to try the food that they ate. It was pretty good. Far better than any would expect from an assisted living home. Local bands also played there on occasion for the amusement of the elderly.
