My aunt is at Holiday Lake Shore Commons. I like everything about the facility. It's clean. It's safe for her. The community is very nice and accommodating. All of the employees that I've met seemed to be reliable and respectful. Overall, I like the whole place. The staff working there are focused and supportive. I ate with my aunt a few days ago, so I liked the food. My aunt is very picky, so some things she likes, and other things she does not like, but it was enjoyable for me. What my family likes the most is the fact that she has three meals provided, so she doesn't have to be concerned about cooking herself. They also have games and bingo. She can go for walks, and we feel that the surrounding areas are safe for her to do that. They also have bus trips, so they go to Walmart. I like everything they have to offer and the environment.

I visited my mom at Holiday Lake Shore Commons. She is there currently. The intake person is amazing. She helped us on every level from the tour to getting into the community, and she was amazing. The staff is decent. There's a load of activities. They have everything from live entertainment to spelling bees to ice cream socials. They have bingo, outings, and all sorts of things. However, it's very expensive, sometimes the transportation is spotty, and sometimes the food isn't very desirable. The customer service is awful, too. My mom has had a couple of incidents, and the staff was not good at all.

My mother will be moving into Holiday Lake Shore Commons. The place seemed very cheerful and very bright. The rooms were very nice, clean, and neat. Peggy, the lady who assisted me, was very nice and helpful. The menu looked pretty nice, and the dining area looked very nice being a big open space. It was one of the first things that you see when you walk into the main entrance. They had a little gym, exercise classes, chair exercises, bingo nights, and trivia nights.

I have toured Holiday Lake Shore Commons. The rooms are dreadfully small. They didn't have a liquor license, so there was no happy hour and there weren't as many social activities. I like the location best, but I liked the room size the least. What I would recommend is that they have bigger rooms. That would be my recommendation, that they create bigger rooms. The staff member who toured us around was very lovely. The facility and the amenities are hard to put together because the amenities were OK, but the facility was too small. I saw five communities, and I saw that one first, and I didn't like it. In terms of the upkeep, it needed a fresh coat of paint. With regards to location, the hospital is within walking distance of it, which is one of the things that attracted me to it in the first place. There are a number of places you could eat at nearby, but they're more fast-food type than anything else.

Moving to Holiday Lake Shore Commons has been a good thing and an overall positive experience for my mom. She is actually happy there! She is getting involved with some of the activities and is getting to know some of the people. We like the fact that even though she lives in her own little room, she is never far from other people and help, if she needs it. I think she is actually thriving there!
