Key Review Excerpts

The therapy department is excellent!!! They gave me the use of my arms and leg again after an extremely serious fall and accomplished that very quickly.

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

The entire staff at The Lodge is phenomenal. The food is great and the facility SO clean. It was my husband's home away from home.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

My dad flourished. The day he was discharged, he said, 'I've been very happy here.' A great place.
