Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with consistent praise for the quality of care, the staff, the dining, and the home's cleanliness and atmosphere. Reviewers repeatedly highlight attentive, respectful, and kind caregivers who provide personalized, round-the-clock support. Multiple comments emphasize quick responses to call buttons and that individual daily and dietary needs are met, suggesting reliable clinical and daily-living assistance. The community conveys a family-like, homey vibe—many reviewers used terms such as family-oriented, family-run, and care like family, indicating strong relational continuity between staff, residents, and families.
Staff and management receive exceptionally high marks. Reviewers name specific staff (e.g., Director Caren, Miss Lucy) and describe them as well-trained, communicative, and supportive during transitions. Ownership and management are noted as accessible and transparent; reviewers mention private conversations with the owner and prompt communication with families. This accessibility is reinforced by descriptions of a forthcoming administrator and staff who involve families, help with veterans benefits, and provide reassurance. The small size of the facility appears to facilitate this hands-on management style and individualized attention.
The facility and accommodations are frequently described as beautiful, well-kept, and hotel-like. Many reviews mention private suites with bathrooms and kitchenettes, well-staged and thoughtfully decorated rooms, a clean dining room, and a calm, quiet atmosphere. Outdoor spaces such as a screened back porch, front patio, and wooded surroundings are appreciated, as are conveniences like secure/locked entry and good parking. The small scale (maximum around 32 residents) is repeatedly framed positively for its intimacy and quieter environment; however, it also contributes to a pattern of limited availability and, in some reports, low occupancy at present.
Dining is a standout positive across reviews. The food is called amazing, healthy, and prepared by an excellent chef; reviewers note there are no canned ingredients and that meals are tailored to individual dietary needs. Meal service, the dining room ambiance, and the chef’s role were singled out as major strengths. Activities programming is described as engaging, with puzzles, crafts, music/TV, and a friendly activities director. The activity space is functional and well-equipped but is described in some reviews as small, which may limit larger group programming.
Notable patterns and concerns center on pricing, occupancy, and certain logistical details. While many reviewers strongly recommend the community, several specifically call it expensive or private-pay and say they or others couldn’t afford it. Conversely, a few reviews describe it as brand-new with a very low price—this contradictory pricing feedback suggests variability over time, promotional pricing, or differing perceptions among reviewers. Related concerns include reports that some apartments are self-furnished and that studio and one-bedroom units were sometimes listed at the same price, which reviewers flagged as a potential inconsistency or inconvenience. The small size, while a benefit for intimacy and individualized care, may also limit choices and availability for new residents.
In conclusion, Silver Treasures at Lane Ave is portrayed as a clean, secure, and attractive small assisted living community with highly praised staff, excellent and individualized care, strong family communication, and high-quality dining. Its intimate, family-run environment and accessible management are major strengths. Prospective residents and families should be aware of potential cost/affordability issues and the limitations that come with a small, low-occupancy facility (fewer room options, smaller activity spaces). For those who can accommodate the financial considerations, the reviews suggest a high level of satisfaction and a supportive, well-managed living option.
