What this means for your family
The Cortland Lodge has seen significant positive momentum under new management, with many families praising the clean environment and dedicated staff. However, because some families have reported concerns regarding inconsistent care for residents with dementia, we strongly recommend conducting unannounced visits at various times of the day to observe the actual level of care provided.

While many families report high satisfaction with the care and engagement provided to their loved ones, there are lingering concerns regarding inconsistent communication and specific lapses in care quality for residents with dementia. Families should conduct unannounced visits to verify the level of care, as experiences appear to vary.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother in law is in this facility. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Katelyn Oaks, one of her nurses! She goes above and beyond her job and takes such good care of MA.”
“I'll admit, I had concerns about the status of this building and it's function, with the change in ownership recently. Thankfully those concerns were without merit after seeing the work that the new leadership team has performed on this campus.”
“Beautiful place, but care was poor. We paid for level 3 care, but still not sure what this bought... She had an alarm go off when she got up (prone to falls) and that was not responded to.”
