The Lodge at North Ogden sits in North Ogden, Utah, surrounded by the Wasatch mountains and close to small restaurants, shops, and historic places, so folks have a nice view and easy access to town when they want it. The building has two stories and features a lodge-style design with lots of stone and wood, giving it a cabin feel, and there's a landscaped outdoor area with places to sit and relax outside. Housing choices include studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites, and there are also bungalows, with sizes going from 325 up to 939 square feet, so folks can have a bit of space or keep things smaller if that suits. Pets are welcome, and people can smoke if that's something they still do.
The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing, so there's help on hand for folks whether they want to live on their own, need some assistance with daily tasks, or require more care because of memory challenges. The Lodge at North Ogden keeps nursing and staff around all day and night, with emergency call systems and daily morning checks, so someone's always close if something comes up. If you want help with bathing, getting dressed, or medication, staff can provide that, and there are personalized care plans for each resident.
When it comes to food, the main restaurant serves American meals, but there's also the Gallery Cafe coffee bar, and all-day dining with lots of dietary options for folks who have special needs or just want a bit of variety, and people can order at every meal instead of being stuck with a fixed menu. Meals are meant to be nutritious and enjoyable, with special diets celebrated, and for those who'd rather eat in their suite, in-room dining is available. There's also an onsite grocery for small bits and pieces.
Amenities include a library, a fitness center, a movie theater, a spa and full salon, a shuffleboard court, bowling alley, billiards room, fireplace lounges, and an active courtyard where folks often gather. There are game rooms, computer centers, arts and crafts rooms, a greenhouse and garden beds, a music room, and lecture halls for classes or talks. Residents use WiFi, cable TV, and have access to shuttle transportation, cleaning, laundry, and concierge services, and when someone needs to visit a doctor or get downtown, transportation is available by bus, train, or car.
The Lodge at North Ogden offers lots of activities, like social clubs, games, music, flower arranging, acting and theater, language and technology classes, fitness classes, and outings to local spots, and there are both organized trips and extra activities like virtual reality experiences. There are programs like Watermark University for learning, BrainCafé℠ for keeping minds sharp, Prema Memory Support℠ for folks with dementia, Extraordinary Outings, and EngageVR® for new experiences. There's a special focus on helping everyone stay social, active, and engaged, no matter their care level.
The Lodge at North Ogden first opened in 2019 and is run by Watermark Communities.

Short-term stays are available too. The campus feels small enough to be friendly, but has plenty of space and things to do, making it a steady option for folks looking at different kinds of senior living in North Ogden.
