My mother is at Emeritus at Lakeridge Place. It is nice. I like it there.

At Emeritus at Lakeridge Place, there were ample attendants for each individual. I noticed how the staff interacted with their residents, and it was just remarkable. They have a lot of attention and a lot of good things. They seem to really care. They were very courteous, friendly, and patient. All of the residents knew the staff, and they weren't afraid to talk to them. That's an indicator that they aren't tyrants. The rooms were spacious. There is a nice view of the lake out on the terrace, where they could sit out and do whatever they want to do. Their dining area was pretty much like a hotel. They have a wing for assisted living and a wing for memory care. I have tasted their food on a couple of occasions. It was not home cooking, but I didn't see anybody pushing their plate aside. They have monthly birthday parties, they provide bus service to appointments, and they also have trips to the local mall, which is really close. They have other activities to try to keep their people involved.

I went to Emeritus at Lakeridge Place, and this is the facility at which you had to go to the dining room at certain hours, and I didn’t like that. l think the only rooms available were on the second floor, and we could not use that, so this is not really a suitable place for the needs of my friends. I think they offer quite a lot of activities, but when I walk in there is nobody around. There weren’t any people sitting around visiting, and I felt the place wasn’t immediately welcoming and friendly.

We placed Mom in Emeritus. We chose it because it seemed to offer the most care for the price. Among those I toured, it looked like Emeritus offered the best quality. The facility is very clean. The staff is really friendly and very professional. My mom really likes them a lot. I've tried their food and it was pretty good. They have activities like bingo, crafts, X-box bowling, exercise, etc. They do a lot of different things. The best thing about this place, I would say, is the quality of the residence itself, their rooms are really nice and well maintained, and the atmosphere is really good. It is just a really attractive-looking place. I would recommend it to others.

We visited the Emeritus at Lakeridge Place assisted living facility while looking at possible places for our aunt. The outer courtyard area was very nicely maintained - with plenty of seating to enjoy the great lawn space. The patio area looked particularly nice. There was plenty of space to enjoy outside parties and gatherings. Residents could also enjoy being outdoors safely with adequate, but not intrusive supervision. It was good to know that our aunt could also keep her beloved cat. The interior was bright with lovely windows throughout which let lots of nice, bright, natural light in - with a fresh looking decor and home-style furniture. The dining room was quite cozy, yet not cramped. It had a home-style restaurant feel with beautiful hardwood flooring and French style windows with high ceilings. The food smelled and looked nutritious and delicious. The menus featured healthy foods for diets. Healthy snacks are also offered all day, as well as when requested. The media room had a wide screen TV and comfortable furnishings. There was a library area with table and chairs. Other communal activity rooms also had comfortable furniture. The seniors are encouraged to socialize, play games and participate in many stimulating activities. As a full service facility, they can accommodate varied ambulation levels. The private rooms were tastefully decorated and well maintained. Each room seemed fresh and cheery. All units have convenient kitchen areas and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. Some of the units had beautiful views of Sikes Lake. Residents enjoy walking along the mile-long path. The library and fireplace looked like great gathering places. Residents enjoy card and dominos games, puzzles, reading and socializing. We also really liked the soothing and calming fish tank. There were several seating areas throughout for residents to enjoy. They can also reserve the private dining room for parties, events and family gatherings. Seniors can use the fitness room as well as go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered. There is also a convenient salon, available several days each week. The residents go on trips to visit the local establishments in the area and enjoy many local eateries and other cultural events offered. The residents looked quite content and well cared for by the considerate staff.
