It was a blessing to have our Mother at St Luke's PLX. She had Alzheimer's/dementia and was surrounded by such great care. It was a struggle to put her into a care facility but Andrea and the staff loved her and treated her like family. I would recommend this beautiful place to anyone who has this need.

The residents here are so happy and the assisted living they have here is beautiful. Watching residents do the the things they use to love like fishing and going on boat rides is a an amazing thing to see!!

My father has been a resident at St Luke’s Lutheran Community at Portage Lakes for almost a year, and I can’t say enough about the outstanding care he’s received. One of the most exceptional people here is Andrea, the Director of Nursing. Her dedication to both the residents and her staff is truly second to none. She brings a level of compassion, professionalism, and genuine concern that makes all the difference. Thanks to the attentive care he receives, my dad is not just stable—he’s thriving. Every time I visit, I’m reassured that he is in safe, capable, loving and caring hands. The staff is kind, responsive, and clearly takes pride in their work. It’s comforting to know my dad is in a place where people truly care. I Highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for quality care for their loved ones. Sincerely, John Murray Jr.

My husband Denny, is a patient at this nursing home in Portage Lakes. We love that he is here he get wonderful care the nursing staff are amazing as my husband has Alzheimer's ❤️. As every day brings a new adventure. They have alot of new help as they are trying to have there own staff no agency help. It's nice the patients are seeing the same faces and making a friend they can trust! They have activities for patients now alot of fun things for them to do Leslie is keeping them busy ! I think the best is a boat ride on Portage Lakes they love it. If not a boat ride it's nice watching the sail boats, fishing and boats cruising on the lake.They had a prom the first one what a success as the ladies loved dressing up as well as the men. Music playing some danced, a catered dinner.The patients are still talking about how fun it was,big thanks to Andrea Gooden, Leslie, Corrina and her family. If you are looking for a place contact Andrea she is the director of nursing and can help you with anything you need ! They are looking for laundry and housekeeping, if your interested!
