What families say about Lakeside

Real words from families, partners, and team members who know SarahCare of Lakeside.

★★★★★

Mom loved her days at SarahCare and so did I! The staff was truly wonderful and cared for my Mom when I could not be with her. Each staff member greeted us warmly and were enthusiastic to see Mom each day. The stimulation of different activities gave Mom more than I could provide each day, and the loving environment gave her companionship and happiness. It was so comforting to have another set of eyes on my Mom too. The staff was able to give me feedback as to whether she was not acting herself or she seemed to be in need of extra care. At one point the staff suspected a UTI, and upon taking Mom to a doctor, found out they were correct. Another time her lethargy turned out to be a virus. We miss our days at SarahCare!

I can't say enough wonderful things about SarahCare-Lakeside. They are so caring, competent, kind, knowledgeable, and I can go on and on. It's been a pleasure to know these wonderful people. I only wish they also had assisted living and memory care. My loved one would absolutely be there. They are the very best.

SarahCare of Lakeside is an excellent care facility. They are a very sensitive and caring group of people and I trust them completely to care for my wife with Alzheimer's. They are able to focus on my wife's needs giving me the time and space I needed for a break from 24 hour caregiving. Picking her up each day was filled with hugs from the staff and my wife even commented on how nice the staff were to her. If you are thinking about Daycare for your loved one, you should definitely take a look at SarahCare of Lakeside. My only regret is that I didn't start my wife there earlier.

Our time with SarahCare will never be forgotten.

Our mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about seven years ago. Unless you’ve walked that path, it’s impossible to explain the challenges it brings. My parents have been married for over 65 years, and my father chose to care for her at home rather than place her in a facility. With that decision came many ups and downs, and though the four of us siblings did our best to help, balancing jobs and families made it difficult.

Someone told us about SarahCare, and we decided to give it a try. Of course, at first my mother was hesitant, but the staff knew exactly how to handle her and the stages she went through. They were patient, kind, and truly skilled. We were with SarahCare for about three years, and if it were still possible, we would continue today.

The people there became like family to us. They weren’t just caregivers—they loved and cared for each person as if they were their own. That gave us great comfort, especially for my father, who finally had some much-needed rest and peace of mind. It was a blessing.

We eventually had to stop when my mother could no longer travel and began to forget how to walk, but our gratitude remains. If you are hesitant about adult day care, don’t be. SarahCare is far more than a day program—it is a place where your loved one will be valued, engaged, and genuinely cared for.

To the entire team: thank you for everything you did for our mom, and for being extraordinary caregivers to all. Your work is not easy, but it is truly a gift.

They treat every participant like family, creating a safe, engaging, and joyful environment. Whether it’s through personalized attention, fun activities, or simply the way they listen and care, it’s clear that their hearts are truly in this work. You can feel the difference.

Ravi leads by example, and his team follows suit — they're attentive, patient, and always going the extra mile.

If I could describe Sarah Care in a few words I’d say “Like Family”. The staff at Sarah Care truly does care. I’ve been working in healthcare for over 30 years and I know quality care when I see it. They go above and beyond to treat your loved one like they would their own grand parents. It’s difficult to find a place you can trust will treat your loved one with care and compassion. No worries, with Sarah Care keeping a watchful eye on your loved one you can rest assured they are in good hands.
