hell hath nothing on this place, avoid it or pay the consequences for there are no activities which leads too despair and bad behaviour, good luck trying to get any help. Bottom line is that you do not get any help , but if you are down or physically sick or anything like it, you get sent out to phychiatry. I feel scared for If I really get sick, i will not get the proper care and they do not care about the inmates, Lack of care and concern, no love to be found or help out, and why would they want to get out? They don't so y... read more

I have been advocating for a friend of mine who recently left Lakeside after a 2 1/2 year stint there and I can assure you that he couldn't wait to get the hell out of there. He claims the room there was just okay, the food was atrocious, the staff was only semi-helpful, and if he ever had anything to say that could be deemed "angry", he was threatened with hospitalization. Adult homes in general have a bad reputation, but I think something needs to be done to change this trend. Especially since the mental health community h... read more

@ Debbie K; I too used to work there in the 90s. I actually met my x-wife there, we divorced in 2007. She was a receptionist there in 1993, (chiquitamelanie), yes that same one who wrote above. The problem with Lakeside Manor is that ZC and Sandy Lustig, (not sure if the have passed it to their daughter and son-in-law yet), do not pay well and when the pay is minimal, you don't attract the best people. When good people do come, they don't stay. I really didn't stay long at Lakeside and for the most part was treated with resp... read more

chiquitamelanie, the 90s were a long time ago...I just left my job there and I can tell you if things were good then, they are no longer so. In 2008 the Staten Island Advance published an article which you can find a link to on google which interviewed the neighbors of Lakeside Manor. The phrase out of control was used in the title. I dont know who owned it back in the 90s, but it is run by the Lustig family now. The place does have bed bugs and the staff is very callous in there treatment of the residents. The wallpaper is ... read more

avoid – the worst place i have ever been. from the bed bugs to the crack heads I spent every minute away from that place that I could. I'd rather stay in the street.

caring staff, adequate accomodations – I worked for Lakeside Manor on and off during the 90's assuming different positions. The home undergoes many thorough inspections throughout the year; ranging from fire safety, food handling, pharmaceutical audits, building inspections, elevator inspections, etc... The maintenance staff are constantly working with painting, wallpaper hanging, plumbing, electrical, etc...

Avoid - Dump - Poor Supervision – This place is a pillar on the community of Silver Lake, the facility has garbage on the grounds, no maintetnace has taking place, the staff lacks empathy in handeling the patients and community, the patients or over medicated (known as the walking dead), they pan handle in the neighborhood, drink alchol on the grounds and are under poor managment with little to no supervision. Do a serach on the facility and discover the many law suits against the owners / president of this Private Property ... read more
