About The Lodge at White Bear, A Sky Active Living Community in White Bear Lake, Minnesota

The Lodge at White Bear is an all-inclusive independent living community designed for comfort, convenience, and a strong sense of home. We provide three meals a day, weekly housekeeping, and bus transportation Monday through Friday. Residents also have access to daily activities and a personal emergency call pendant for added safety. Apartments all include either a patio or deck, and the building is surrounded by a peaceful walking path that leads to Wedgewood Pond. Our backyard looks out over the pond, offering a quiet and scenic environment. Steps away from shopping and restaurants, The Lodge at White Bear is located on the beautiful shores of Wedgewood Lake/Wedgewood Park, a 13-acre nature preserve and 1.1 mile paved walking trail. Unlike other communities located near busy roads or commercial buildings, we're tucked into a quieter spot, even though we're still close to everything.

Everyone here is so nice and kind. They treat everyone with respect and always go above and beyond for the residents and each other. I am very safe and comfortable in my community. Rachael, Luis, Tanna and Lesa are the most genuine, nicest, most dedicated people you will ever meet. I am proud to call The Lodge my home.

It was important to Karen and I that we found a place that we felt safe, comfortable and valued in. From the moment we toured, we knew that this is a community that we would love to call home. The staff is phenomenal. From the housekeepers to the maintenance director to the head managers, they all have and continue to go above and beyond for every single resident, no matter the situation. I really like the grounds and how they are well maintained, and how quiet and peaceful it is.

I toured The Lodge at White Bear, A Sky Active Living Community. It just looked like what one of those places would look like. It didn't look bad. There was nothing that upset me. I didn't get knocked over by it to say this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. The staff seemed confident, and the facilities were nice.

Provider Response

To say this community is impeccable and amazing is an understatement. My mother previously lived here some years ago, so I was already familiar with the place. I do not have a single ounce of negativity to spill. From the staff to the grounds, to the amenities, to the accommodations and beyond, I am extremely satisfied with my experience here. You can't beat the location; I have everything I need here, and within walking distance if need be. Everyone here is always willing to help and lend a hand - I remember having contacting Rachael, the Executive Director, asking if my upcoming unit had a microwave included or if I needed to bring my own - Upon move in, I discovered that they installed a brand new microwave for me! The grounds are always well maintained. The servers in the morning, and the housekeeping team do their jobs to the best of their ability and always with a smile. They are all so full of life and it is very evident to me that this company truly cares about its employees and their residents - they go above and beyond to make you feel warm, welcomed, valued and included. I love how there are trees right in front of my patio - it provides privacy, and it is a beautiful touch. A community that allows dogs was very important to me when searching for a place, and I'm happy that my little Alexander is as joyful as I am in a community like this. The Maintenance Director, Luis, is everywhere at once and that man will go to the ends of the earth of make sure that a job is done to the best quality and done right, as well as make sure that all of the residents are satisfied. I remember him coming to my home in his personal vehicle, prior to me moving in, so that I could get the paperwork done and I have to hand it to Rachael to keeping in consistent contact with me from the start to now, no matter the matter at hand or issue, and making sure that I am well taken care of. Kudos to the company for truly having their residents and employees within their best interests and intentions - it really shows here. You won't be disappointed with this place!

Provider Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are truly honored by your kind words and thrilled to know that your experience with our community has been nothing short of exceptional.

From our dedicated staff to the warm smiles of our servers and housekeeping team, we’re proud to have a team that genuinely cares about our residents. Your mention of the beautiful yard, convenient location, dog-friendly atmosphere, and even the trees by your patio, it all reminds us why we do what we do. It’s great to know that Alexander feels just as at home here as you do! Thank you again for your kind words and for being such a valued part of our community. We’re so happy you’re here, and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the comfort you deserve.

I think the people have been very friendly and are very helpful. I have made my own little friend group here. Bingo is one of my favorite things to do here and I have not had one period of loneliness since moving in. I love walking the building and the backyard. The staff is amazing!

Provider Response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve made close friendships and feel supported by both your neighbors and our team. We're so glad you enjoy the activities, especially bingo, and that you find comfort in walking the building and grounds. Your kind words mean a great deal to us. We’re lucky to have such dedicated team members, and lucky to have you as part of our community!

My mom is at The Lodge at White Bear, A Sky Active Living Community. They have a shuttle bus and a bus driver that would take her to her doctor's appointment. She can't drive because it's winter. Plus, we want her to stop driving, so we like having that ability to have someone drive her. They cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the room, there's no stove, but they have a microwave and a fridge. They promote socialization there, especially when they're eating. They don't want them to eat in their room. They have crafts and stuff going on pretty much every day. They had somebody come in there and read poetry when I was there. They also had somebody else come in and sing. If you want a garage, it's only $50 a month. My mom could also bring an animal. She did have a little dog, but she ended up having to re-home him. However, that was just a one-payment deposit. The payment for a one-bedroom monthly includes everything except the phone and the garage if you have a car. The lady that runs it is very, very nice. She promotes a good environment. The people there are very, very nice, too. I was there for two weeks with my mom, helping her get situated. I can't compare it to anything else, but I wouldn't mind living there. There are more women than men. My mom, who had lived in her last place for 30 years, was very nervous about moving in, but she felt very welcome. She also felt that all of the ladies were helping her. Her neighbor, who is 98 years old, is helping my mom figure out the mail and the laundry. My mom is fine now. She is feeling good about it. She is not stressed out and is not feeling lonely. They're always knocking on her door and checking on her. They also provide a Life Alert for her, and she doesn't have to pay for that. I can't say enough about them. I live in Florida, and my mom lives in Minnesota, and I would have to say it has been all very, very good. They have three options for food, and I think that's a good thing. They have someone clean their rooms once a week, and that's included in the fee, too. The staff members help my mom tremendously, and they're very, very wonderful to her. So that's all I care about. They're responsive and all that. The building is always clean, and I always see them cleaning. It doesn't smell. It's very nice for an old building. It's very well maintained. It looks really good. They have quite a few activities, and they have a new activities director. There's a lady who has been there for 10 years, and she still has a smile on her face. If you want to participate, they have a lot of different things to do, so I think it's great. The value is outstanding.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review of The Lodge at White Bear! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, and we're delighted to hear how well your mom has settled in.

Our goal is to create a vibrant, engaging, and caring environment, so it's heartwarming to hear that she is happy, and comfortable.It's also great to know that our team has made a positive impact on her experience. We take pride in maintaining a clean, well-kept community and ensuring our residents feel at home. We will be sure to share your kind words with our staff!

It was a nice building as well. It had a nice huge apartment with a huge deck. It would have been high on the list as well. The apartment might have been a little bit smaller there, but it had a separate bedroom, a full kitchen, and a bathroom. The one particular unit I looked at had this huge deck wrapped around the corner unit, so it had a wraparound deck. You could look down into an area where they had outdoor seating and stuff. It was a very nice location as well. The dining room was beautiful.

It was nice and clean. They had a very nice dining room, and all the meals were included. They had activities. They each had their own deck, so they could sit outside. The grounds were beautiful. They had a lot going, and there's a lot of services. I saw a studio and a one-bedroom. They had a microwave, a smaller freezer, a refrigerator, and a lot of closet space. The shower was a handicapped setup. The staff was very knowledgeable, very nice, and easy to talk to. They said we could come back and have lunch if we wanted to. They were very kind. I liked it.

I had an in-person tour of The Lodge At White Bear. It was one that I liked the best. The staff was knowledgeable, gracious, and a pleasant person. I had a sample of one lunch item, and it was good. I liked the hard flooring. They had either a kitchenette or kitchen area where you could prepare your own meals. The outside was kind of a rustic but scenic area. There were some shops around like a dollar store and fast-food places.

The Lodge At White Bear was an excellent place. I was especially impressed with their surroundings and the opportunity to do things outdoors. The person who did the tour was very nice and very helpful. They had a small library and the rooms looked good.

We toured The Lodge At White Bear, and we're going back tomorrow morning. My dad likes the place, so we are just going back to look at a couple of different apartments. The facility was very nice. We had lunch there, and the food was good. The staff member who gave us the tour was very thorough, and we met the RN who was very nice, too. I liked the brightness, the windows, and how open it was. The dining room area was very clean, the apartments were nice, and of good size. My dad has a nurse from the VA that comes twice a week. He will have his own apartment, but he can add on services, and we'll still continue the VA care. Plus they have a VA doctor that comes up there, so we may switch to that doctor from the VA, and he might not have to travel to the Minneapolis VA as often, which would be nice. They have a craft area where they can do different things, and if they want to cook for the group, they can do that too. There's games, pool tables, and card games. After the cold settles down they probably will bring back entertainment, and there's a walking path that comes up to the White Bear Trails, so there are lots of things to keep you busy if you want to be.
