What this means for your family
LakeHouse Kalamazoo is highly regarded for its warm, social environment and attentive communication with families. However, given reports of weekend staffing shortages, we strongly recommend asking the administration specifically about their weekend staff-to-resident ratios and their protocols for handling urgent resident needs during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at Lake House has been wonderful to work with. The care and attention they have given my mom has been very good. I live in another town away from my mom, the Lake House staff’s open, timely and frequent communication with me has been outstanding when care adjustments have been needed.”
“This assisted living facility was a nightmare. My Mother only resided there for 4 months before we moved her to a better place. This facility is chronically understaffed on weekends.”
“We cannot say enough about the Lakehouse staff that became like family to my dad and I. They showed true compassion and provided unwavering support right up through my dad's passing.”
