“Lake George is a lovely, little, close knit community in a serene setting. Sunrises and frequent geese on the lake invite the morning arrival to the well-appointed rooms and apartments. Staff members are caring and attentive.

Everyone seems like extended family with staff, residents, and families all looking after each other with genuine consideration. My parents have enjoyed this rural type setting in close proximity to necessities of shopping and

healthcare.”

“Lake George is the best kept secret in Columbia!  I first discovered this hidden

gem during my 25 year home health career.  I always knew I would want my

parents to live at Lake George should they need assistance in their later years.

Since the day they moved in, I have continued to be impressed with the

ownership and staff.  Roystan, the owner, is on site daily making sure the

residents are happy.  The nurses, cooks and staff are kind, patient and

compassionate.  The food is excellent and tailored to each individual’s tastes and

needs.  There is a wonderful camaraderie among the residents and staff.

Lake George is truly a home where residents can live with assistance,

not just another assisted living facility!”

“Lake George Assisted Living is the best place for our mom! The rooms are kept clean, the food is homemade, and the view of the lake is so peaceful. Most importantly, mom is comfortable and made to feel welcome by the staff and other residents. Being a smaller facility with a low staff to resident ratio, mom is never overlooked or forgotten. She is safe and very well cared for and I appreciate the easy, personal, and open line of communication that I have with the staff and the owner. They understand that I am my mother’s advocate and that we are a team when it comes to mom’s health and wellbeing. Mom is currently in the more moderate-severe phase of her dementia. She was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Dementia in 2014, although we believe the symptoms of the disease began approximately 2-3 years prior to then. In 2013, the year we lost our dad to cancer, it became apparent to him and all 6 kids that mom’s personality was changing, her memory was failing, and she was losing her ability to reason and make good choices for herself. In 2015, we moved mom to an independent living facility in Columbia and within a year’s time, we found she needed more help with her activities of daily living (ADLs) so we transitioned her to the assisted living side of the facility. We soon discovered that the facility was too big (staff to resident ratios were too large) as we didn’t feel mom was getting the personal attention she needed as her disease progressed, so we moved her to a much smaller facility. Unfortunately, the smaller facility did not provide mom with enough stimulation and activity for her then current state of the disease and I found the communication with the staff to be very difficult, so we moved her to another facility where she resided comfortably for several years until this past Fall when we moved her into Lake George. I believe it was a God-wink to have found a place for mom at Lake George Assisting Living. The residence is exactly what mom needed at just the right time! Roystan, Carole, Fadeanna, and all of the staff at Lake George are caregivers who truly care about the residents and their families. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for providing mom with the love and care that she needs and deserves!”

Sincerely, Stacey, on behalf of all of Geri’s 6 kids and their families
