Lakeside Health Center has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: attentive and compassionate nursing staff and clean and well-maintained facility. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Lakeside Health Center receives high praise for its attentive, compassionate staff and clean environment, with many families noting significant improvements in their loved ones' health and well-being. However, there are serious, recurring allegations from some families regarding neglect, poor communication during medical crises, and a lack of transparency regarding patient care. While the majority of recent reviews are positive, the stark contrast between these experiences and the critical reports of neglect suggests a facility with inconsistent care standards.

Key Review Excerpts
“Within 60 days Lakeside helped her not only physically, but emotionally. I picked up my mom yesterday on day 60 to move to an assisted living. She not only could walk, talk,, and feed herself, but she gained at least 20 pounds back,”
“The staff here is very kind and caring do the patients, visitors and vendors. When approaching staff with questions and suggestions, the staff and nurses always make time to listen and act immediately if necessary.”
“My mom has been here almost 2 months. She has dementia and is 95 y.o. She gets excellent care! She is always clean and comfortable. The food is very well prepared and it looks very appetizing.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
