Lake View Terrace Assisted Living in Lakeview, Michigan has been a true blessing for our family. My mother has lived there for some time now, and I can honestly say the care and compassion she receives is second to none. The staff is absolutely wonderful — attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every resident. They treat my mother with dignity and warmth, and it’s clear they take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, organizing engaging activities, or simply sharing a friendly smile, they go above and beyond every day. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to feel like home. Communication with families is excellent, and I always feel informed and reassured. If you're looking for a place where your loved one will be cared for with respect and heart, I wholeheartedly recommend Lake View Terrace. It’s peace of mind, and so much more.

Your solicited reviews should not be identified by even a first name. If I had complaints about an assisted living home, I wouldn't feel comfortable in writing about it because the staff would know who I am with first name and last initial! (I plan to take my complaints directly to the director.) It seems that only the people who can give the facily all 5 or 4 star ratings would want to submit a review! There are some things that really need improvement, in my opinion, where my parent lives. Some staff may not take my constructive criticism well, and then take it out on my parent.

You can't imagine the difficult decision to move a loved one to a facility, but the staff at the Lakeview Terrace made it easier than expected. My mom has a special diet (Celiac disease) that requires special meals and diligence to prevent cross contamination. Not only do the chefs do a fantastic job, but the care staff get involved with their creativity and input. The Terrace is a loving community of residents and their families that also contributes to the close atmosphere. My only complaint is that they won't take my reservation for when I might need to move there in 25 years!

We are so grateful to be a part of the Lakeview Terrace family. My mother absolutely loves it there! She’s been there about five years and loves sharing all the fun things she does.She is especially grateful for [name removed], who has been an absolute blessing on so many levels. She raves about [name removed] and [name removed], and how fun they are. She loves the resident staff and enjoys the food prepared by [name removed]. [name removed] is another favorite!To quote my mom, “The people at Lakeview Terrace don’t just care FOR you, they care ABOUT you!”Great place! So nice I wish I could live there !!

Having to place a parent in assisted living is a hard choice, but the team at Lakeview Terrace made mom feel welcome right away. As she says, it's not home, but if she was no longer able to live in her home, it's the nicest place to be. Being able to have her own apartment furnished with her own furnishings makes it feel like home. Being in the Terrace, Mom's mental health and cognitive skills have improved so much. Thank you for the wonderful team and facility you provide for her!

Lakeview Terrace , a comfy and loved spot in a small town! It feels like you are part of the town. The front area is near the school and just around the curve is the rest of the town.. You do not feel isolated! The building and grounds are well kept! The staff is very caring and goes the extra mile for residents. The daily calendar is filled with activities, speakers and projects, all who come in the door are welcome to pull up a chair and get involved I owe a lot of the praise of the Terrace to [name removed], the director. Her office door is usually open and she says…pull up a chair!! she easily meets with a resident and or family to share concerns and plans . She cares! The staff cares. You constantly sees and hears about little things for people.. by people who care!

My dad and step-mom moved to assisted living not because dad needed help, but because she did. At the age of 91 he was doing everything; the cooking, the cleaning, the laundry, driving her to appointments. She had primary progressive aphasia and was developing dementia. The staff consistently involved her in the activities offered. They came down to the apartment and urged her to join in. She really enjoyed it. When her dementia advanced and we needed to sign her up for Hospice, [name removed] was there to explain it so we all could understand. The staff worked with hospice to keep her as comfortable as possible. They were caring and encouraged the family to be with her. They delivered meals to the room so we didn’t have to leave. They offered hugs when we were looking overwhelmed. After she passed away, Dad decided to stay, even though he was independent. He said it felt like home. That’s the greatest recommendation of all.

Mom went to see her specialist dr(Dermatologist). Her Dr said her skin looks great. I said it’s the staff at her assisted living facility. Dr said : Well they’re doing a great job. It’s an A+ review. Plus the kitchen staff is very careful with moms diet.

In searching for a potential place with and for my mom. The building is well designed to facilitate about 30 people. The apartment sizes are spacious. What shines is the staff. Visiting much more grand buildings that boasted ammenities, the staff didnt smile as much as in Lakeview. Food is prepared well and selections are bound to please most everyone! The staff made the transition very easy. The administrator, [name removed] has a special gift and leads her staff with kindness and compassion!

The facility is overall a very good place. Clean and friendly, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Rooms are pleasant and roomy. Mom is happy with the food, which is great for a lady who was very particular about the meals she made . It would be nice to see more staff on duty, but that seems to be a sign of the times, it’s hard to find good people who want to stay in one place. Great activities, and occasional field trips.

My wife and I thought it was time to find a place that offers care that filled the different needs of each of us. Lakeview Terrace is that and much more. The employees are fantastic. They see ,and anticipate our every need..the meals are five star, and our room is perfectly maintained. We could not be more pleased.

They make each resident feel so much at home. They have so many happy faces working for the Tarrace . Which also makes it easy for the transition for your loved one so much easier. They are working with them daily so many activities planned each day. And have many outside entertainment that comes in and they love this . Sometimes it’s music or animals or taking them out for activities also. They take their time with each resident for their caring, or just a talk for a few minutes. I highly recommend The Lakeview Tarrace for your loved one. My Mom loves it! I love the care she gets. Knowing this makes our Family happy knowing Mom is loved there.

They are good at explaining any changes going on. They know how to take care of most problems that arise. I would recommend to others.

I am bedbound and as much attention and one on time I do get from the staff you would think I still walk and attend all activities. Food is amazing. They even made a special dessert from my wife's birthday when she visits me.

Kitchen staff is good, food needs work.
