Princess Lodge

Princess Lodge has a smaller, home-like setting with both studio and semi-private rooms, so residents can choose what fits them best, and people can be either male or female, bringing pets if they have them, which some places don't always allow, and the staff really tries to help everyone feel comfortable by offering aging in place, which means a senior doesn't have to move even as their needs change. The grounds have walking paths, a trellis-covered patio, and a gazebo, so folks can get fresh air or visit with family and friends, while indoors there's always somewhere to sit and chat or join in on an activity, including movie nights, arts, a library for quiet reading, and a hobby room for hands-on minds, plus devoted areas for memory support for those needing special help with dementia or Alzheimer's, which is something people look for when their family wants to keep everyone together, even if someone's needs are different. The staff includes nurses and visiting health professionals like doctors, dentists, podiatrists, physical therapists, and speech and occupational therapists, so everyone's care stays up to date, and the owners make regular visits because they're licensed nurses themselves, caring about details and seeing if everything's all right. Staff stay awake all night, so help is always on hand, using mechanical lifts and helping with meds, incontinence, and all those daily things like dressing and bathing if someone needs it, and they support diabetic care, but with the request that folks manage their own insulin and blood sugar checks unless they need reminders. Princess Lodge has services like respite care if somebody needs a short stay, as well as hospice support if that's needed later on, and weekly communion and other devotional programs for spiritual needs, all run by an Activities Director who makes sure events, outings, cook-outs, and even birthdays get celebrated. Meals come restaurant-style with choices for allergies and diabetes, and the staff helps with nutrition planning, plus there's laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and telephone access in every room, and people set up meals to suit diets. The memory care area has its own secure building and can accept residents who have major behavior issues, while everybody gets access to the rest of the amenities, from sun-soaked patios to community-sponsored activities, and everybody's welcome to bring their pets, as long as they can help take care of them. Smoking's not allowed indoors or in any rooms. Princess Lodge has a connected, familial feeling, thanks to the staff-to-resident ratio and cheerful, attentive staff, and because it's a medium-sized community run by the Elder Lodging group where the focus stays on treating people with dignity and respect in a relaxed, social, and lively place for seniors who want support while enjoying as much freedom as possible, and folks can reach out and ask questions through social media messaging tools like Messenger or Instagram Threads if that's easier for them or their families.
