Sprenger Health Care Anchor Lodge Retirement Village

Sprenger Health Care Anchor Lodge Retirement Village sits on the scenic shores of Lake Erie in Lorain, Ohio, where residents see lake views through big bay windows and walk along resort-like grounds with a garden and walking paths. The community's pretty large, with space for around 80 people, and there's a mix of private rooms, studios, and one-bedroom units; some overlook the water, and prices change depending on care and room type. Anchor Lodge offers many kinds of care, including skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, hospice, and respite care for both long-term and short-term residents. There's a team that includes doctors, nurses, psychologists, geriatric psychiatrists, and dentists, all working together to make detailed care plans that can help with physical, emotional, and social needs. Nursing care is available 24 hours, with services like medication help, bathing, dressing, and help with daily life, plus care for people who need help with diabetes, non-ambulatory needs, incontinence, ventilator support, or even intravenous therapies, wound care, and tracheostomy or ostomy management. Many people come here not only for ongoing care but also short stays after surgery or injury, thanks to the skilled nursing, orthopedic rehab, and outpatient therapy options. On the property, residents use indoor spaces like the library, fitness and business rooms, billiard room, indoor pool, a wellness spa, and even a social pub and putting green, and they join in scheduled daily activities including resident-run events, devotional gatherings, games, movies, and music nights. The community also runs its own transportation, with parking and free rides available to help folks get around. Meals are served in a restaurant-style setting, with gluten-free options and specialized diets like diabetic meals, and staff handle laundry, housekeeping, and everything else so residents can focus on living as independently as they're able. Anchor Lodge focuses on keeping residents comfortable, connected, and taken care of-by adapting support as care needs change, which is what many families and residents say matters most to them.
