We have had a very positive experience with Mom as a new resident at Waltonwood Sterling Heights. The staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. We particularly appreciate the assistance and advice from Aaron and Mikaela, who are invested in helping Mom, at 98, make this transition successfully to independent living. Mom appreciates the advantages of social opportunities, the high standards of housekeeping, and also the privacy of her spacious and convenient apartment. We appreciate the staff attention, the attractive building and common rooms, and the safe living conditions. After visiting other senior communities, there was no question that Waltonwood offered the most and was the best choice for us.

Aaron was fantastic - he was very thorough, honest and kind. I really felt that his background as a caregiver enabled him to fully understand the challenges of senior health challenges. The facility was very nicely appointed and the staff energetic and committed. Definitely recommend as a place to consider for your loved one.

Pretty amazing place. I cannot say enough great things. Once my Mom's health started to decline where she couldn't live with us anymore and needed more professional care I researched and researched. I didn't want to trust just anyone looking after my Mom. I found such a blessing in Waltonwood Lakeside. Every single person there treated her respectfully and like a member of their own family. She was safe, cared for and entertained. The food was amazing. I mean really. Residents were given given choices of a couple meals like a restaurant, with soup and dessert. Meals like chicken corden blue, rice pilaf, steak tips, and salmon. Like legit delish! But the main thing was the care, the relationships. They drew her out, got her into art, got her to make friends. This was big for her, since she'd been isolated after my Dad's death. They'd join her listening to music, her favorite. Take her outside so she'd get exercise and fresh air. Encourage and support her when she'd get frustrated and all the while keep me informed. I'd also drop by for sudden inspections, and they always passed with flying colors. They handle multiple levels of aging ranging from no care needed to those needing lots with dementia, like my mother. My Mom felt like the helpers were her friends who happened to help clean her room and clothes while they visited. Never intrusive. I can't tell you the kind of peace this gave me knowing my Mom was cared for as though she were still at home, with family. Thank you Waltonwood Lakeside.

I cannot say enough good things about Waltonwood Lakeside! We moved mom in 5 months ago! Everyone they employ are top notch and so very friendly and patient with everyone. They do so many great things there, from the fun activities to the way they celebrate Holidays and all the decorating! The food and the staff in the dining room are great! They sure welcomed my mom with warm hearts! Forever Grateful!!!

Life Enrich almc Waltonwood

Lakeside All Waltonwoods have activities, entertainment, housekeeping, caregivers, servers, chefs, marketing teams, receptionists, and an executive director. So now, here is my take. Its March 2009, Joe has finished his Heartland Rehab. TIME to choose one last move. Only one chance to get it right- TIME to do the right thing. Two rollators in one house are one too many. Finding an Assisted Living home is down to three choices. First option long forgotten, second- Sunrise, third- Waltonwood Lakeside. Trying to find the right fit. Checked out Royal Oak, no offence the fridge was small and it fit under the counter. It was Saturday, refundable deposits in place, time to pick up Carol, Melanie, and Joe. First option- a resounding no. At Sunrise Carol asked Dad- do you have any questions, "no, but I have some suggestions!". Their "coffee shop" couldn't close the deal. Last stop, Lakeside. Cathy the Marketing Agent showed Joe what I already felt was the right choice. Lakeside Assisted Living only about 3 years old at the time, had kind of a new car look and smell to it. Had a gazebo on the lake where you can watch the loons, ducks, geese, and sometimes swans. It was Saturday, kind of a quiet day much like home- it would work for us. So, no need to refund our deposit. One more question, when the time comes, do you have hospice care? Move in day was April 1st 2009. When the lease for 2010 was due, I asked Joe "should we sign it?". A quiet answer, "Where would we go?". Joe died peacefully 11 days later. Now, almost 14 years later, I'm still home. -Elaine M Ewing Without an office, "Mayor" of Waltonwood Lakeside.

I'd give 5 stars for such a beautiful place and kind people, but they were only offering $12 for part and full time. It's simply not feasible when McDonald's down the street starts at $15. Looks like their money goes into making things look nice and not paying their employees a living wage.

My parents moved here 1 1/2 years ago. It’s a very nice facility with friendly staff. We’ve been happy with their care, especially my mom who needed much more than most residents. There are plenty of daily activities and the food is good. Many kind residents. Any concerns or needs have been promptly addressed. We appreciate not having to worry about them.

I feel fortunate to have joined the management team at Waltonwood Lakeside. From day one, the support I’ve received from the Executive Director, my teammates and my residents has been amazing. It’s clear to me that our resident's health, happiness and engagement are the number one priority and I love being a part of that equation!

We assisted my in-laws in moving to an independent apartment at Waltonwood Lakeside in June 2021. Melissa was our first contact there in finding them the right space. She was so helpful and friendly and they loved her immediately. She continued to help them transition after the move as well. Then they met Ollie! Ollie drives residents around the local area and since my in-laws do not have a car, they have come to depend on him for short trips. He is a joy and we always hear about how much they appreciate Ollie! In fact, there has been not one employee not has not been friendly or helpful. The vestibule, hallways, and dining area are in great shape. Clean with pleasant decor. Not dated. I feel like I'm in a nice hotel. There are gathering areas with games and puzzles available. There are sitting rooms with TVs and quiet areas for gathering with visitors. There is a nice back patio as well which is great for sitting on a nice day! There is a calendar that is put out to indicate meal choices for the day (usually choice of 2 entrees at dinner), daily trips, and special field trips. Residents can sign up for a seat on the bus that takes them to area grocery stores, Target, and other places. They have dinner out nights too at area restaurants. I'm happy with the level of socialization my in-laws are getting at Waltonwood Lakeside. They sit with other residents at meals, they play bingo, my FIL participates in the choir, my MIL recently went to a Painting with a Twist session, and they've been to the casinos downtown more than once in 2 years. Recently, my MIL needed emergency care and we were very pleased with the rapid response of the Waltonwood team in getting my MIL an ambulance and to the nearest hospital quickly. She has since recovered without issue and is back in her apartment. During her hospital stay, Ollie and other drivers shuttled my FIL back and forth to the hospital. I can't say enough about this wonderful place! While my MIL still misses her home in Romeo very much, there is no denying that this was the best option for my in-laws given their advanced age, lack of transportation, and proximity to health care services.

We planned to move my mom into memory care at Waltonwood after touring the building, but an unexpected cancer diagnosis meant we had to do things very quickly. Melissa and Lisa were a tremendous help facilitating a very quick move in. Once she was moved in, the memory care staff was beyond amazing with my mom. The care they provided was the absolute best. Each staff member truly cares for the residents, and they are treated as family. Thank you all so much.

Melissa Wright responded with expertise and kindness when I was in a crisis to find a home for my mom where she would be well cared for. Melissa's responsivity and her sense of urgency to answer all my questions and facilitate next steps is remarkable. The amount of planning, the details and the time coupled with the emotional weight of caring for a loved parent is overwhelming at times. Melissa walked with me each step, made arrangements, sped up the process, recommended an amazing moving company and communicated each step of the way. We have had mom at Waltonwood Lakeside since February and have been overall pleased with her stay. Recently we needed to make another decision about her care and once again, Melissa was completely available to assist me, tour apartments with me and get a mover set up the next day. I feel like I am Melissa's only family with her personal care and attentiveness! I highly recommend Melissa Wright and Waltonwood Lakeside for your loved one's care!

We have toured numerous communities in the area looking for a place for my aunt to call home in the next six months. Its a difficult decision to place a family member in memory care, but the staff here is making that choice easier. Most importantly; not seeing people sitting in wheelchairs in hallways doing NOTHING. That was not the case when we toured the memory care unit here. Seems to always be activities going on to keep residents engaged and active. Not quite ready yet, but when we are this looks like a good choice.

My mom was a resident in memory care for over 3 years, the activities helped with her quality of life. Some of her favorites were word games, exercise groups, singing her favorite songs, cooking demonstrations, walking club, gardening and bingo. The caring staff made a big difference in her day to day living.

The decision to move your loved one to a senior living facility is a big decision. Like Goldilocks looking for the perfect place, we knew Waltonwood Lakeside was just right when deciding where our loved one belonged. Its not too big, nor too small. Its just right. The facility was recently upgraded and is exceptionally clean. Every person that works there makes a point of speaking to you, whether its the dining room server or the executive director. No one is invisible. While health, safety and nutrition are all addressed by highly skilled associates, its the Life Enrichment program that provides fun activities throughout the day. Activities are entertaining and dignified for the declining skills of your aging loved one. The Life Enrichment Program also plans weekly special outings and live entertainment which helps to keep things lively while spiritual needs are met by weekly visits from local churches of different denominations. The caregivers and med techs become part of your family because after all, this is home sweet home for your loved one.

As a long time resident of Waltonwood at Lakeside I would like to recommend to others how much I enjoy my life here at Waltonwood, for over more than eight years. Moving here, after my husbands death, was very intimating for me after living in my home for over 50 years. I soon found it was very easy to get acquainted with all my new friends and staff that I would meet here. With the friendliness of the staff and residents I soon felt very welcome in my new home.All the programs and activities help to fill our days, with the help of the staff to encourage you along the way. Now that we are in the process of receiving our vaccine for Covid-19 I look forward, in time, to the return of the many wonderful programs and outings that are a part of our life at Waltonwood.

My dear Dad lived at Waltonwood Lakeside on the Memory Care floor for two years until he passed last fall. The Life Enrichment staff was exceptional. From the time he arrived, they engaged him in group activities as well as met his individual needs and interests.

I am grateful to the staff that has been instrumental to his well being.

I have lived at Waltonwood Lakeside for over one year. From the moment I moved in it felt like home even though I had lived in my previous home for over 42 years. Waltonwood has very pleasant surroundings and is a well maintained facility. I find the residents to be happy, friendly and cheerful. The staff is well trained and are always ready to help us.They really care about us and try to make our lives interesting. I enjoy fun-filled activities and interesting programs. The exercise programs keep me healthy and the thought provoking activities keep my mind alert. I like the lending library, finding good books to read in quiet times.Our food is excellent, based on healthy, well balanced meals prepared by in-house chefs and served by a delightful staff who really care. The meals are presented restaurant style. While there I can meet and chat with other residents in our beautiful dining room.So forget all your worries, forget all your cares and join us at Waltonwood Lakeside in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

My mom spent many months at Waltonwood Lakeside and it was such a wonderful experience. The staff was professional and truly cared about the residents. I especially found the Life Enrichment program to be valuable for my mom, who was struggling with dementia. It kept her active, helped her brain stay working and kept her entertained. I would highly recommend this location if you have a loved one struggling with memory loss.
