Lake Park Senior Living

For us, there were certain individuals in the community that were especially inclusive and welcoming. My mother is Chinese and the Chinese community there made her feel more welcome.

[name removed] and [name removed] were quite instrumental in bringing this move to a more than satisfactory conclusion. If it wasn’t for her/them my mother & I might still be searching. Thank you, thank you for all you’ve done.

For the most part my mom is pretty happy there. She was resistant at first but began making friends. One of my former classmates mom was there for several years as well. My mom is a very picky eater and thinks that anything spicy is Italian. Perhaps have some Asian food once in a while.

The facility is beautiful. [name removed] lives in a studio apartment with a beautiful view. Staff is excellent, food is more than acceptable. Many activities to choose from. Maintenance requests take a little while for response but not a problem yet. The overall feel of Lake park was outstanding. Also, residents seemed very friendly and engaged in the community.

The facility is amazing location spectacular views 1 block from lake Merritt good transportation for local shopping facility is clean and well maintained Meals and mostly good some not so much the residents are nice and friendly. Maintenance issues can arise it is a very old historic building. The rooms are large and comfy. Views amazing worth looking at Not your average independent living community way nicer

I wish I could rate this higher as Lake Park used to be a fuller service facility and is now just feels like a Room & Board facility. I get that it needed some updating under the new mgmt, but it feels rather cheap. We picked it because it was affordable and could improve the social interaction over the isolation of living alone.

The facility itself is beautiful and recently went through a renovation. The staff was helpful and friendly, as were the other residents. I would recommend the facility to others.

Had a great experience touring, as well as the food was very good. The prices are very cost affordable and they have great activities. I will for sure move my parent into this community. I highly recommend for your loved one.

My mother-in-law enjoyed Lake Park for many years until the recent purchase of it by Pacifica. After the purchase, the internal communication and quality of services declined rapidly, including decreased security (random people entering the building and apartments), and regularly running out of food, which is so awful! My MIL decided to leave, as have other long-term residents. Now, Pacifica refuses to return these residents' deposits in a flagrant breach of contract and won't respond to any inquiries. Out of necessity, we now have to explore legal avenues to get back the money my 85-year old MIL is owed and needs for living expenses. It's unclear what the new owners do care about, but it's obviously not the seniors they are supposed to be serving. It is a tragic and deplorable situation.

I am a resident here and moved in [date removed]. Today I really love the broccoli salad for lunch and the jello for dessert! [name removed] in marketing is always so helpful with with my work orders, and maintenance is fantastic on getting right on it. I have made some friends here like my friend [name removed] we get along great. I am most great full!

Some of the food my mother may feel is be too spicy for her. I think they need a more neutral variety on the menu. I spoke to another resident, and she said that it was better before the acquisition. I'm sure this is an isolated incident. But once the property was acquired by Pacifica, the sales and marketing person was unresponsive. Because of her incompetence, my mother's move was delayed by 1 month and we had to pay rent anyway. She is no longer with the company. she did not know what she was doing. She did not send the proper paperwork and the lease until the last minute Which delayed my mother's move. Other than that it is a nice place to live. I would recommend Lake Park with one caveat: be prepared to take at least 4-6 weeks to get paperwork completed and signed off by the resident's physician. Make sure there is someone there who knows how to read the lease. State Form 602 is one of many sets of documents required before a resident can move in. The property management is clueless on the difficulty in getting it completed.

That the place is under new management and has a big upside potential for resuming services and activities that once made it a great place to live. The Community Fee isn't huge, which makes the barrier to entry relatively low and the loss, if one decides to move in a year, minor.

Wonderful views if you get one. Nice sized units. Creatively managed. Pricing more reasonable than some, but with a buy-in.
