A skilled nursing home may not be the most satisfying environment to choose for a husband's temporary stay. But Lake Forest Village was such a caring, "homey" and yet highly professional environment. It became a vital and meaningful healing space for my loved one. What impressed me most was the sense of team work that I saw over and over again. I am grateful for all of the staff, but would like to express my special thanks to Juanita Munoz and Marisela Cantoran for their contributions to my husband's positive outcome. Yes, they were hardworking. But both women applied impressive intelligence to every task they undertook. They were thoughtful as well as knowledgeable about aspects of healing and patient comfort that go beyond the practical skills asked of staff in a nursing facility.

Sandy Raspberry, Director of Business Development was very caring and informative when we toured Lake Forest Village. The process of finding an independent living program can be overwhelming and she made it very easy! She was so kind and generous- she even treated us to a delicious meal from the on site restaurant We appreciate all the support and guidance from Sandy and the rest of the staff.

Having spent many years in health care, I’ve had the opportunity to attend a number of Sandy’s marketing events, and I can honestly say the energy in her community is something special. There’s a real sense of vibrancy, connection, and support every time people come together. Sandy has such a welcoming presence and a natural ability to communicate with ease, making everyone feel comfortable and truly at home from the moment they walk in. Her warmth, authenticity, and passion shine through, and it’s clear why people are drawn to her and the community she’s built.

Warm and welcoming independent & assisted living facility that did a great job helping me transfer my mother from her house of many years into a new space half-way across the country so she could be closer to the rest of our family. I worked with Sandy & Truly to go through the paperwork and to take a tour of the grounds. They were very kind and patient in helping my mother and I make the adjustment to this process and the facility is full of great staff and tenants alike in a safe and quiet community. It has made both our lives easier and I feel confident knowing my mother is in a good place for her happiness and health. Especially knowing that they provide many levels of care as may be needed moving forward.
