Elm Tree Lodge

Elm Tree Lodge sits in New Port Richey, FL, and acts as a board and care home where seniors can get assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, respite care for short-term stays, as well as nursing care and independent living. The place handles up to 12 residents and feels home-like, with indoor rooms for reading or watching TV, spa and steam rooms, wellness spaces, barber and parlor, open dining areas, and outdoor yard spots for sitting or walking. Residents get regular meals, with 1 or 2 prepared each day and special options for those needing diabetic or low-sodium diets, and there are laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, and meal help, plus help with dressing, bathing, and hygiene. Elm Tree Lodge has activities such as music therapy, crafts, movie nights, games, planned group events, community outings, and even pet therapy, and people can join in devotional events off-site and ride to medical appointments, errands, or religious services. The staff helps with medication, personal hygiene, transfers (including two-person transfers), dressing, and grooming, and the facility runs under the supervision of doctors including psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, so there's help available for health needs from dental to vision, hearing, and general medical care. Safety features include smoke alarms and handicap fixtures, and rooms have central air, on-site maintenance, and maid service, while staff can also help with money management and incontinence care. Elm Tree Lodge tries to keep the environment supportive but homelike, offers plenty of activities, and gives personalized care suited for those who like independent living, people who need day-to-day help, and residents with memory challenges, and there's always something happening either in the home or out. Photos of the community are available for anyone interested, and visits can be scheduled to meet staff and residents.
