Key Review Excerpts

Nursing staff for the red block were FABULOUS!!! So supportive so friendly kind compassionate. While it was a tough road to be on, I could NOT have wanted her anywhere else!

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

The care received is professional, caring, thorough, and dignified. I would recommend Lakeview to anyone who is looking for care for a family member.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

I am however upset that my mother says there is one nurse that treats her badly and talks mean to her. I have worked in nursing homes and know that patients can be trying at times but you must still treat them with respect and kindness.

1 complaint-triggered

Lakeview Methodist Health Care Center shows a concerning pattern of recurring deficiencies across multiple care areas, with one family complaint triggering an inspection. The facility repeatedly struggles with infection control, care planning, and safety issues that persist across surveys from 2023 to 2025. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the ongoing recurrence suggests systemic challenges with maintaining standards.
