What this means for your family
Waltonwood at Lakeside is highly regarded for its beautiful environment and engaging activities, making it a strong choice for independent and assisted living. However, because some families have reported concerns regarding management communication and complex medical care, we recommend asking specific questions about their clinical staffing ratios and how they handle external home care agencies during your tour.

Key Review Excerpts
“My Father has been at the Waltonwood Lakeside Facility for 2years now. He started in Assisted Living and then made a rather smooth transition to the memory care unit. From the first moment we toured the facility Melissa made us feel welcome.”
“My parents moved here 1 1/2 years ago. It’s a very nice facility with friendly staff. We’ve been happy with their care, especially my mom who needed much more than most residents. There are plenty of daily activities and the food is good.”
“We wish we had never put our loved one in this facility and thank God we finally moved to a different place. Too many disgusting incidences to even discuss. The management is horrible. The communication is horrible.”
