Happy Dad

Room size was a great surprise. So was the food. The staff is very accommodating of my dad's needs. Housekeeper is wonderful and so is front desk staff. Very clean. Lots of places to do anything: read, walk, play cards, work on a puzzle, exercise. And the choice of activities is wonderful. Lots to choose from. I am very very pleased.

My Mom loves it!

My Mom moved into Lakewood estates over a year ago and loves it! She has a fantastic group of friends that eat meals together and enjoy patio time, shopping trips and outings together. It is such an improvement over her living alone in her house. I feel so much better knowing she is in a safe community with neighbors looking out for each other. Being in the “Sandwich Generation” raising young kids and aging parents at the same time, I am so grateful I found Lakewood Estates. Pros: safe community, friends and socialization, affordable rent, an amazing property team that keep the grounds beautiful, kind in house management, three meals a day provided, a great variety of apartment choices (with mild memory issues, we were able to choose an apartment without a stove or oven for safety reasons), and lastly the location! A great King Soopers grocery, Target, Whole Foods, Walgreens, movie theater and more are two blocks away in the Belmar shopping center. Cons: Food quality is variable

My experience here was a wonderful first look at options for my parents. [name removed] was absolutely amazing as a representative for the location. I felt welcome and she was warm and interested in the well being of the residents during my visit. The residents were well taken care for, and my interactions with them were genuine. I would recommend this community for a visit to see if this is a good fit for your needs.

Overall would recommend

It's very nice. The inside needs some TLC but renovations are coming soon. The apartment size is great. The staff is fabulous. I would recommend the community to others searching for senior living once the renovations are completed.

Great home for grammy

The staff have been wonderful and helpful. The different apartment sizes provided great choice for her. She absolutely loves the food. The bingo and puzzles are her favorite activities. We are grateful we found it.

Colorado agrees with us

Lakewood Estates has everything that an independent senior could ever need. Meals, laundry, house cleaning and so many activities. There are shuttles to get out and about town. There are so many active seniors in this facility! It's an older facility but it's kept clean.

Lakewood Estates is a hidden charmer. The staff is impeccable and very helpful -- particularly, [name removed]. She did a quick Q&A to assess what we needed for my father and we agree that it was a great fit. Then, the tour began. The actual premises and services are perfect for a retired veteran. I am convinced we found a place that will make my father happy.

Overall the facility was pleasant. The lady who gave the tour was informative and helpful. It’s definitely a contender in our process of looking at independent and assisted living options. We were looking for a studio and it seemed they were farther away from communal areas and elevator. But overall it was good!

Highly recommended

I've only been at Lakewood Estates (LE) for a few months so my experience here is limited. Prior to selecting LE, I visited several "Over 55 Independent Living " apartments, without reservation, LE is the most welcoming, comfortable, clean, affordable, apartments that I've visited. Their Activities Specialist is amazing, she arranges for activities and events that are appropriate, unique, and therapeutic based on what residents ask for. Staff in general are caring and supportive. They serve 3 meals a day included in the rent. Apartments are cleaned weekly, their size is adequate, storage space is limited, you'll need to down size. You get a lot of bang for your buck at LE, I highly recommend it.

Would recommend if they didn't serve meals so early

I would tell anyone looking that meal times are very early. I'm trying to adjust now but it's difficult for me.

It isn’t quite what we are looking for. The “Mountain View” apt. Was a disappointment. I had to squint to see anything. Then I learned that one gets charged more if the unit is close to the elevator. Renovations are going to be done which means noise, dirt and inconvenience. And the most important, it’s too far from our son

My Wife and I experience

My wife and I absolutely love living here. From day one, the community has been incredibly accommodating. When we first moved in, we changed our minds about our apartment layout twice, and the staff handled every switch with such patience and kindness. We’ve also really been enjoying the meals they’re consistently tasty, well-prepared, and something we genuinely look forward to each day.

my husband and I really love living here. The community has been extremely accommodating with our apartment when we first moved in we decided we liked the layout of a different two bedroom but then changed our mind again and the staff was super understanding and kind with the back to back change of minds. In the end we love our two bed two bath. It has best view of the town
