Safety First

First, we had to feel safe, at the Lodge it is very safe. We love all the space in our apartment; it is much larger than most we have visited. Every assisted living offers you something different, but the GM Dirk works with you on your suite and is very honest.. Food is phenomenal! You never have to leave the lodge for dinner because every night the food is outstanding and we can eat with our regular friends or sit with new ones.

Engaging Weekly Activities

My husband looked at many other retirement locations, however as soon he walked into the Lodge it felt like home. I love to play bridge, and we have a bridge club that meets every week. Plus I enjoy the book club and all the evening activities. I had to have an indoor heated pool so I could do all my water exercises the lodge has the best pool and program. The staff is all so friendly and just regular folks that treat us like family.
