Lincoln Lodge Retirement

Lincoln Lodge Retirement sits at 4950 W Broad St in Columbus, Ohio, and you'll notice right off it has a Colonial theme with 135 rooms and sort of a country club or resort feel, since there's an outdoor pool with a winter rubber bubble cover, a nine-hole golf course, gardens, and game areas, and folks have said the seafood buffet used to be a real draw with locals, not to mention community evening events with dining and dancing are a tradition here, and there's even been family pool memberships for Lincoln Village residents. It was redeveloped to serve as an assisted living community managed by National Church Residences, and works as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so they offer a range of care for older people, from independent living to nursing home care, with services for memory care, assisted living, respite care, and even hospice. They allow pets like cats and dogs, and there's a beauty and barber salon plus a mobile hairdresser available to help residents, and for convenience, there's on-site dining with three daily home-cooked meals, and you can get special diets if you need it for high blood pressure or diabetes. The staff includes nurses on site, doctors on call, as well as therapists for speech, occupational, and physical needs, and they help with dressing, bathing, hygiene, toileting, and medication reminders. There's help with getting to medical appointments, shopping, and faith-based trips plus indoor and outdoor common areas, a book room, and activity rooms that might have a sauna, jacuzzi, or fitness equipment depending on what's needed at the time, and daily programming covers movies, fitness, music, and art, while some days you'll find animal therapy, music therapy, or tabletop games and trips outdoors, all designed to keep folks active and connected. Rooms have wheelchair accessible showers and offer parking for residents, and smokers should know there's no smoking allowed inside. You'll find garden spots to sit in, a salon for hair care, and services like meal provision and help with daily activities or medication assistance, plus memory care activities for those with dementia, and families can rely on respite or hospice care when it's needed most, and the staff can help people age in place with homecare onsite.
