Northwoods Lodge sits on 13 wooded acres and has served the community for over a decade as a family-owned skilled nursing facility operated by Encore Communities, and folks there can expect 24-hour skilled nursing care and personalized attention from a team of trained medical, nursing, pharmacy, therapy, dietary, and social service professionals who cover just about every need, whether that's short-term rehab after a surgery, help recovering from a stroke or injury, memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, or palliative and hospice support when things get tough, and for those staying, there are private suites and semi-private rooms, most with full bathrooms, refrigerators, microwaves, sinks, and wireless Internet, and the dining room serves three meals a day cooked by award-winning chefs who handle many different diets and meal plans, plus there's an atrium and other community spaces where residents can relax and socialize.
Northwoods Lodge treats a wide range of medical conditions, including orthopedic and spine injuries, balance and gait issues, strokes, speech and communication disorders, feeding difficulties, arthritic conditions, cardiac, respiratory, neurological, renal, and gastrointestinal problems, developmental disorders, even trauma and wound care, and there's outpatient therapy available, either at the rehabilitation gym or in a patient's home or community, which is handy for people who need care but want to stay home, and the therapy team offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help folks get back their strength and independence.
Staff at Northwoods Lodge help with personal care, and they're around day and night, plus they have on-site pharmacy services and help with transportation to local appointments, and social workers are available to talk about long-term goals or arranging seamless moves to other Encore Communities like Clearbrook Inn, Country Meadows, or The Ridge, so the transition home or to another setting goes smoother, and they work with insurance providers to sort out coverage. Residents can take part in social activities and enjoy the supportive, warm environment, which feels home-like and genuine, and with 57 licensed and Medicare-certified beds, this place stays focused on each person with personalized care plans and a real effort to keep things comfortable and uplifting for everyone who lives there, all while keeping everything straightforward and practical, as you'd hope from a long-serving local nursing home that's won several awards and accreditations over the years.
