The Lodge of New Hope

The Lodge of New Hope sits in a quiet neighborhood with shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and health care close by, and it's been part of the West Metro suburbs for about 45 years as an extension of the Good Samaritan Society - Ambassador, which folks around here know for post-acute care and outpatient therapy, and the building has three floors with 31 cozy apartments where residents aged 55 and up can pick from one-bedroom or two-bedroom layouts, with leases set up on a month-to-month basis, so there aren't any entrance or administrative fees to worry about, and there's parking available, though you'll want to call to make sure about the details. The Lodge offers assisted living, long-term care, and specialized support tailored by skilled, caring staff, with the goal of helping people maintain their independence and feel supported through things like laundry and linen changes each week, housekeeping, personal care, and scheduled van transportation for shopping or outings, plus a 24-hour emergency response system and Wi-Fi and cable TV included in the rent. People have meals provided three times a day along with snacks, and can enjoy eating in either public or private dining rooms, and for anyone who likes being outside, there are two patios and a rooftop deck. Small pets are allowed too, though there's a $500 deposit for them, which is good for folks who don't want to leave a furry friend behind. There's a beauty salon, library/lounge, exercise room, and community rooms for social, recreational, and spiritual activities, and staff makes sure the building is maintained and the atmosphere stays welcoming. Residents have access to rehabilitation therapy with both inpatient and outpatient options, as well as home-based services and caregiver support. There's an emphasis on treating the whole person-body, mind, and spirit-and making sure everyone feels valued, with the place offering a friendly environment where social interaction is encouraged. Monthly assisted living fees range from $3,300 to $4,050, and there are no extra starter or admin costs. The Lodge also has a virtual tour feature for those who want to preview it from the comfort of home.
