Thank you for visiting Eskaton Monroe Lodge. We are happy to read you enjoyed the gardens. We are sorry you were only able to view the commons areas on the ground floor. You are invited back to tour the residential apartments any time. During a tour you can expect to meet an Eskaton ambassador, a resident who will show you their apartment and answer question on what life is like at the Lodge. It also gives you a friendly face to call upon when you join us at our community. Please call Tristin or Scott at 916-441-1015 to schedule the tour.

The park features walking paths, 8 hole golf course, children's amusement park, city zoo, ponds and picnic areas.

What makes the chef or dining program at Eskaton Monroe Lodge exceptional? What kind of menu can independent living residents expect?
Our menus are ever changing based on comments reviewed by our resident food committee. Our dining program is customizable and we offer substitutions every day to fit your desires. One factor that has really made our dining services special is that our Food Service Director has been here for over 25 years! We also have three different ethnic-centric chefs that put their own traditional flare into every dish.

We have a common entertaining lounge on each of our 5 residential floors and the entire ground floor is all common space available for residents.

The Lodge also features a game room with pool table, entertaining party lounge with full kitchen, and a fully-equipped Fitness & Wellness center.
What safety features or security measures does Eskaton Monroe Lodge offer to independent living residents?
To be as unintrusive as possible, Eskaton has invested in emergency call systems. 24-hr Eskaton employees answer the phone and monitor our passive motion sensor system. All of these systems combined help to weave our safety net here at Eskaton.
If Eskaton Monroe Lodge accepts dogs or cats, what indoor/outdoor areas can they enjoy?
Pets are part of the family, so our Eskaton community loves for you to bring your furry family member to live at the Lodge. Pets can enjoy our 3 acres of outdoor property as well as many of our common spaces. Pets are not allowed in spaces where food is present, and not allowed on common area furniture for those who may be allergic.
