    Beautiful campus, but management failing

    I loved the beautiful, spotlessly clean campus, roomy suites, great activities and amenities, and many genuinely caring, friendly staff - admissions was smooth and daily life can be engaging. But management is expensive, often unresponsive and disorganized: repeated billing errors/late fees, poor communication, chronic understaffing and inconsistent caregiver quality have caused missed notifications, safety incidents and serious care concerns. I ultimately moved my father-in-law out - lovely community, but I can't recommend it until leadership and staffing improve.

    About Lakeside At Mallard Landing

    Lakeside At Mallard Landing sits in a mid-rise building and delivers care for older adults in a clear and straightforward way, with independent living, assisted living, SHINE® Memory Care, and respite care all under one roof, so folks needing light, medium, or heavy help get the daily support they need without having to move around. The building is purpose-built for older adults with features like wide hallways, a spacious lobby with comfortable seating, handicap accessibility, and secure memory care sections where residents can feel safe, and there's a computerized wander alert system, bracelets for wandering prevention, and help for those who might try to leave. They're able to care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, including those at risk of wandering, exit seeking, acting out, or facing difficult behaviors, as well as folks with incontinence or diabetes, since the staff provides reminders, insulin injections, and blood sugar tests, and helps with transfers, whether someone needs standby, one-person, or two-person lifts, or even mechanical lifts.

    Residents at Lakeside At Mallard Landing can live in flexible studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, many with their own kitchenettes and living areas, and can bring along cats or dogs. Meals come in a restaurant-style dining room filled with sunlight, and food fits special diets like low sodium, low sugar, or gluten free. Housekeeping and maintenance happen regularly, with daily trash pickup, linen service, and repairs handled by Bay Shore Services, so life stays fairly routine and low-stress. Amenities include a beauty salon and barber shop, wheelchair accessible showers, a cozy memory care library, a nature-muraled chapel, a bar, an arts and crafts studio, and outdoor patios that look out on a pond with a fountain, and there's space-inside and out-for socializing, relaxing, and enjoying daily life.

    The building is always lively, as a full-time activity director schedules art, crafts, brain fitness, intergenerational programs, gardening, cooking classes, games, worship services, and offsite outings, while a friendly staff helps with grooming and other daily activities, aiming to encourage everyone to take part. On top of usual nursing care and medication management, people can get care from nurses, a doctor on-call, and visiting therapists for physical, speech, or occupational needs, as well as help with behavioral needs, hospice, and short-term stays for respite. With free Wi-Fi, parking, transportation, and a convenient location, it's easy enough for people to stay connected and be active, whether attending Dimensions Health & Fitness programs, Celebrations activities, devotional gatherings, or making use of the Expressions concierge service. They offer extra assistance for military veterans and have exclusive programs like the Ambassadors Club for seniors who want to stay especially engaged in community life, and they check their licensing status twice a year. That's how Lakeside At Mallard Landing runs, with routines, support, safety, and a genuine effort to help folks feel comfortable.
