Limestone Lodge is a handsome assisted living community in Athens, Alabama. It is within likable Limestone County which is part of the Yellowhammer State.
As people age, many experience increasing difficulty with the activities of daily living they once took for granted. Eating, dressing, housekeeping chores, laundry and yard work can all become more challenging. The goal of assisted living is to provide a residential lifestyle with personalized supportive services. At Limestone Lodge we encourage independence while offering a variety of amenities, services, social activities and care. We help seniors enjoy a full life in a friendly, caring environment.
Limestone Lodge's retirement community provides an enhanced senior living environment focused on active aging - an approach that aims to maximize the quality of life and well being of seniors while fulfilling their individual needs and promoting purposeful living. Our care options and life enrichment programs allow our residents to live to their greatest potential in a community that is ideal for sharing past experiences and making new memories with neighbors, friends and loved ones.
At Limestone Lodge, our residents enjoy a full lifestyle. Our assisted living community is designed to help residents maintain as much independence as possible, while offering comfortable living accommodations and assistance from a friendly staff. You can have the comforts and privacy of your own home with the security of 24-hour assistance.
Experienced staff members offer care and support to residents through various stages of dementia. We believe in creating a warm, homelike environment rather than an institutional environment. Our residents enjoy a small manageable living space with cozy sitting areas, secured patio and garden spots, and assistance to the degree that residents need help. The staff accompanies the residents on outings. The residents have responded positively and clearly enjoy the activities.
When trying to decide if assisted living is the best choice for you or a loved one, our short-term stay option offers the opportunity to experience life at Limestone Lodge for a period of one to four weeks. We provide a healthy living environment ideal for making new friendships, pursuing interests and discovering new things. We offer 24-hour personal assistance, nutritious meals, social activities and flexible short term private accommodations.
A short term stay is the perfect solution following a surgery or illness when extra recovery time is needed before returning home, or when a primary caregiver needs to take time away.
We describe “respite care” as a short-term, or temporary stay with us. It offers family members or other caregivers the opportunity to travel or take a much-needed break while knowing their loved one is comfortable in a senior assisted living community that specializes in “personal care.” It also provides a non-institutional choice for seniors in need of a place to recover from a hospital stay or surgery. Respite residents stay overnight and enjoy the same amenities and services as the regular residents, while they are with us.
