Josephine Lum Lodge

Josephine Lum Lodge sits in a quiet spot designed for elderly folks who want a peaceful place to live, and it offers both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, along with studio layouts for those who like something smaller. The community gives older adults a choice between independent living, assisted living, and memory care, which means residents can get different types of help depending on their needs, whether that's regular elder care or more specific services like incontinence care, diabetic care, and non-ambulatory care, plus of course the usual staffing and ancillary help. Josephine Lum Lodge gets a community score of 4.7 out of 10, which suggests some people are happy but there are also areas where folks notice room for improvement, and you'll find reviews mentioning a mix between quality and service ratings. The property itself has 150 units and works as a multi-unit affordable housing development for extremely low-income seniors so people who need a budget-friendly place to live can find a spot here. Eden Housing Management, Inc. runs the place, and they've kept the buildings up to date-the community was first built in 1973 and even won a design award from the Bay Area American Institute of Architects that same year; plus, the property got a full upgrade in 2007 including new roofs, redesigned walkways, fences, new siding and windows, and updated common areas. The place comes with a solar hot water system now too. Inside, the apartments have been improved to be more comfortable, and everything is set up with elderly needs in mind, so it's meant to give a relaxing, tranquil feeling for folks who live here. There are meals provided with nutritious options, and common areas indoors and outdoors where residents can meet up, relax, or join in on activities-some stay on site, some are offsite. The community provides general counseling and support services, and tries to build an active lifestyle with programs and amenities like other retirement communities. Josephine Lum Lodge aims to be a supportive and inclusive place for seniors looking for both comfort and care.
