Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care

Mom is in Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care. She started in assisted living, and then she started trying to escape from the place, so they said that she needed to be in memory care where there are more eyes on her. The facility itself is nice. Her room is probably slightly bigger than the other apartments I looked at. She doesn't want to participate in any of the activities, and she just wants to sleep. As far as laundry, they will take her laundry any time. As far as cleaning, I know they deep clean once a week. They have what they call a sit and sing. They have a person come in and they do sing-alongs, and they have people come in, and play instruments for the people. They have games, art, and for holidays, they have special activities. For Valentine's Day, the director brought in strawberries, and they dipped strawberries into chocolate and all that. They try to get her out and do stuff. The food is delicious. It's really expensive there.

My dad has lived here for almost 3 years - under new management since Fall 2024 and we have seen huge positive changes in the management and staff. There were some challenges with the previous management, but it is so much better now. and all of those previous concerns have been completely resolved. The rooms are spacious, and get lots of light. Staff are professional, communicate very well, caring, and responsive to questions and concerns. The food has improved a lot with the new chef(s) and they listen to feedback (and act on it) to meet resident’s preferences. They have lots of activities (my dad is hardly ever in his room) and happy hours a couple of times a week. We like the size of the community - it is small enough that residents get to know each other and staff know the residents well. It really does feel like a community to us - not impersonal and doesn’t have the big corporate feel that some of the other places we looked at have.

I’ve honestly been amazed of how clean the place is. How tidy the residence rooms are. And even the bathroom in the hallway is clean. The food‘s pretty darn good. And I guess if a seeker was thinking about coming to Golden Lodge. Is that it does take time and there is some adjustment. The golden Lodge definitely makes that transition As smooth As possible.!

My experience has been that under the new management that Golden Lodge has had excellent communication with my family. Emails and phone calls are answered promptly and the staff calls family if they have concerns. The apartments have spacious closet areas and the bedroom is separated from the bathroom and living/kitchen area. Apartments are cleaned once a week or more often upon request. An example plate of the lunch food is visible so that residents can make a choice by visually seeing the food which makes the dining experience easier for residents who might have difficulty making a choice. The food is appropriate serving size and balanced. The community atmosphere that is created by the staff gives a “like home” feeling.

They made changes some good but The Food is Awful! Seriously terrible just ask the residents and some staff members plus eat there. They did keep some wonderful staff and they are kind but the Food definitely needs improvement or we will move our family members to a different location and better quality facility also they cut back on other things that only if you visit often will you notice. I can’t believe how often we have to bring food in because the menu is awful and seriously without us the nutritional needs would not be met. I wish someone would step in and fix the food and Kitchen staff!

We stayed at Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care. I didn't like the food. The activities were fine, but they could have had more. The maintenance around the place and the weeds were not taken care of. There was trash by the trash bin that wasn't picked up. I like the people who were caring for the people. I didn't like the CEO they hired after we moved in for two weeks. They brought in a new company to run the place, and to me, it just went downhill from there. They had a beauty salon, a podiatrist who came in once a month, and an exercise room. They could have better maintenance outside, better food, and more variety in activity.
