We also offer on-site physician services, home health and therapy services, hospice and pharmacy services.
Head Injuries/Mental Health, Strokes, Depression, Anxiety, Agitation and Sleep Issues
These situations require specialized care and training. Our nurses and caregivers are thoroughly trained and receive ongoing training to support residents with these conditions.
Emotional Support
At The Lodges we have a full-time certified Person-Centered Advisor to ensure our residents feel supported emotionally as well as physically. Our Person-Centered Advisor works with the residents and staff to facilitate positive relationships and ensures a "resident first" approach. Our Person-Centered Advisor strives to help residents establish emotional tools that can help them live happy lives and identifies coping skills for any challenges residents may face.
Memory Care
Problems with memory, disorientation and cognition often get in the way of doing normal daily activities and communicating with others. Our staff at the Lodges is specially trained to understand these concerns – managing the behavior issues that sometimes accompany them, along with the frustration, fear, and confusion they may experience.
Physical Disabilities
A variety of physical disabilities and chronic health conditions can make it harder to do everyday activities like walking, getting dressed, bathing, and preparing meals independently. We can support all activities of daily living, Hoyer and other lifts and two person transfers.
Higher Acuity
Residents often present challenging medical conditions, and they have significant, unpredictable needs. In response, our nurses provide compassionate, knowledgeable care that is both
prompt and professional. Our highly skilled multi-disciplined teams of caregivers provide expertise for pain and symptom management. We provide diabetic management (including sliding scale), continence care, catheter and colostomy care, wound care, oxygen, and nebulizers among other complex cares.
Hospice Care
Residents and families are well accommodated during this time to ensure a dignified and meaningful experience. Our staff supports the Hospice team making sure all the resident’s daily needs are met, regardless of the severity of their health concerns.
