Verifieddowntown life in Oakland, CA
1. My choice in joining the community is "limited care" so i don't take meals or have anyone clean my apartment. When there is a health event like too many people with the flu, they deliver meals to everyone including me. 2. I do "check in" every morning by pushing a button in my room. 3. All the common areas including hallways, bathrooms, Bistro and hallways are constantly being cleaned. 4. The general attitude of everyone including staff and residents is friendly and open, very positive. 5. The apartment is very large with an outdoor balcony and includes parking and a facility to charge my electric car. 6. There is modern laundry and trash facility on every floor.

VerifiedReview for Lake Park Senior Living
My friend and I first walked in with awe--it was clean, residents were bustling around doing things. The residents were so kind, helpful, and if we didn't remember their names, they said it was ok because they don't remember names either. The staff took care of our move-in and any other problems we might have had. It's been a year now and we're still quite happy we chose Lake Shore Senior Living.

VerifiedExcellent virtual review of facilities with knowledgeable rep
Excellent virtual tour of the common areas of the facility. Majestic views of Lake Merritt from the rooftop walking path. The guide provided insights into the many activities available as well as health service. Interests and capabilities of the current residents appear to be a good fit. Excellent background for an in-person visit.

The facility is in near downtown Oakland near Lake Merritt. It has very nice views of the lake and Berkeley/Oakland hills. The place has a lot of nice amenities and provides 3 meals a day. Overall, I would consider this a place to live.

Friendly People, Poor Acoustics
Residents and staff are friendly and helpful. food is unremarkable,. Wait time for meals in the dining room are on the average more than 15 minutes.. One of three elevators has been out of service for months (according to long time residents,) which causes wait time at the elevators more than 5 minutes at peak use times. In my apartment the sheer drapery fabric is torn because of age and the drapery for the patio door is missing, one of the pulley cords is a string which does not function. One closet is missing a sliding door.I moved in 39 days ago and do not have housekeeper. The acoustics in common areas are poor which makes it difficult to have a conversation with so much unattenuated sound. The housekeeper laundry machines have been out of order since I moved here. Residents can only use the resident laundry before 8 AM and after 5PM week days until house keeping machines are repaired. The top shelves are too high to reach without a ladder (I’m 5’9” tall).

Review for Lake Park Senior Living
I would say it was a friendly place to live. It's fun to table hop at meal time; you meet all the great people who live there. Food is good. I always felt safe in the neighborhood.

VerifiedEntryway nice - room to drive up and load or unload. Security presently a sign-in with a guard - being updated to a keypad soon, I was told. Building fairly new, recently upgraded . Seismic work, I was told, and paint and fixtures - probably furniture - it looked new. Hallways long. Unit I saw was pleasant, fairly roomy. Kitchen area was tiny - looked to be there so toey could say the unit had a kitchen. Laundry at end of hall. Clubs, groups, entertainment from their monthly calendar kas expected. Tenants suggested groups, activities director would set 'em up, if I recall correctly. Nice library: good selection. Had a wood shop, well-equipped. Didn't eat a meal there, and didn't see (many) residents, so can't judge either for satisfaction, thus my rating is not complete.

My thoughts on Lake Park Senior Living-sells people are really good at their jobs. Much room for improvement.....
Housekeeping is supposed to be included. No, we would not recommend Lake Park Senior Living community to other families. I'm sure there are worse places. I don't think she is getting her monies worth. My thoughts on Lake Park Senior Living-sells people are really good at their jobs. Much room for improvement. I recommend checking out other places.

VerifiedSpace is great but resident are wonderful. Its a real community
Space is great - large rooms and walls half glass so there is plenty of light. The people are a community. So many of the residents volunteer to create experiences for all to share. Newcomers are welcomed into the community.

Our families experience
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.

Found mom a safe, warm, and happy place!
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.

VerifiedWarm, welcoming community in exquisite surroundings.
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.

Review for Lake Park Senior Living
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.

Downhill since purchase by Pacifica
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.
