I have to say, that when I was researching this place for my dad and came across the previous posting, I was VERY opposed to even considering it. However, what got me to go check it out was the fact that everyone that I spoke to in the hospital where my mom was at had nothing but praise for Lake Shore! Not only that, but when the doctor (my mom's primary care physician for 25 years!) told me that maybe it was best for her to move to a long term care home, he immediately suggested this place without me even asking! I feel terrible for you, KarmaLA, but it appears that your experience is very strange and out of character for Lake Shore....are you sure that we are talking about the same nursing home??? It seems even stranger to me that such a place that might have committed such acts that you accuse them of could even continue to stay open in a state and city where the government is watching them like hawks! I've seen it all too often in the papers of places that are shut down for the things that you suggest...As my title plainly state: I will have to disagree. I would tell anyone that cared to listen, Lake Shore is not a nursing home. It's my mother's home, and the staff there treat it and her as such. I was once a skeptic, but let me tell you, its worth it to go and see for yourself!
