“I have lived at Lakeside Gardens since 2004 and enjoyed every minute. It is a beautiful spot on Long Lake and one can look out of the dining room and enjoy a fantastic array of flowers. The staff are always quick in being helpful and will help you book your appointments and arrange the Lakeside bus to take you and bring you back home. The food is very good and well thought out for healthy living and there is a handyman that will fix things for you.”
