My husband and I had my mother in law with dementia at this facility. The staff was kind, helpful, knowledgeable and patient with her. She could be difficult at times, but they took good care of her. The day she passed, you would’ve thought she was one of their family members.To us, this facility is West Dallas’s best kept secret as far as nursing home care is concerned. They were on point when she needed to go to the ER or if she needed any additional care. Of course, we had to do our part , and by doing that we established a close relationship with the management and staff. I will be recommending this facility to others. We know that when you have to take care of a loved one, it takes a village, and we are grateful to have had the Lakewest Rehab and Nursing Home as part of our village.
This here has been the most terrible experience I’ve had my entire 15 years of cna experience the nursing management team is horrible they sit in offices all day they are lazy and dumb you always have cooperate in the building (red flag) and they will walk right pass you and not smile or greet you they treat family members bad when they ask questions about their loved ones they have no clear answers for you people lives are really in jeopardy.
U know you never know where life may take you and I wanna say i was down and out for the count 3 or 4 years ago but those good people at lake West rehab they will help you get yourself back together the administrator Miss Erica she is a wonderful administrator the activities coordinator Marvin from from the d o n Miss Cherise from the atom and Sheila and the rest of the great staff at lakewest were really helpful for me and they got me back to where I can go home and live on my own so if you want your loved ones taken care of take him to lake West rehab facility were they take care of your family and help them along the way
My families experience was amazing at Lakewest. The nurse aids absolutely loved my grandmother. Even when we had concerns they were addressed quickly and appropriately. If my grandmother needs care again I would definitely bring her back to Lakewest.
I went to visit a friend there a few weeks ago and saw that his room was very filthy, and he had been sitting in his mess for hours & was very thirsty- he said no one had checked in on him, and he accidentally dropped the nurse button after trying to call for help like 3 times. A staff member was out in the hallway outside his room looking at videos on her phone, while patients are being neglected!!! And some of the same reviews on here mention how rude & incompetent the staff is, THIS IS RIGHT ON POINT!!! They were rude & bothered if you ask them for anything. This place needs to be shut down - This report, along with others I’ve seen on here will be forwarded onto the appropriate authorities.
