Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care

My dad has lived here for almost 3 years - under new management since Fall 2024 and we have seen huge positive changes in the management and staff. There were some challenges with the previous management, but it is so much better now. and all of those previous concerns have been completely resolved. The rooms are spacious, and get lots of light. Staff are professional, communicate very well, caring, and responsive to questions and concerns. The food has improved a lot with the new chef(s) and they listen to feedback (and act on it) to meet resident’s preferences. They have lots of activities (my dad is hardly ever in his room) and happy hours a couple of times a week. We like the size of the community - it is small enough that residents get to know each other and staff know the residents well. It really does feel like a community to us - not impersonal and doesn’t have the big corporate feel that some of the other places we looked at have.

I’ve honestly been amazed of how clean the place is. How tidy the residence rooms are. And even the bathroom in the hallway is clean. The food‘s pretty darn good. And I guess if a seeker was thinking about coming to Golden Lodge. Is that it does take time and there is some adjustment. The golden Lodge definitely makes that transition As smooth As possible.!

My experience has been that under the new management that Golden Lodge has had excellent communication with my family. Emails and phone calls are answered promptly and the staff calls family if they have concerns. The apartments have spacious closet areas and the bedroom is separated from the bathroom and living/kitchen area. Apartments are cleaned once a week or more often upon request. An example plate of the lunch food is visible so that residents can make a choice by visually seeing the food which makes the dining experience easier for residents who might have difficulty making a choice. The food is appropriate serving size and balanced. The community atmosphere that is created by the staff gives a “like home” feeling.

They made changes some good but The Food is Awful! Seriously terrible just ask the residents and some staff members plus eat there. They did keep some wonderful staff and they are kind but the Food definitely needs improvement or we will move our family members to a different location and better quality facility also they cut back on other things that only if you visit often will you notice. I can’t believe how often we have to bring food in because the menu is awful and seriously without us the nutritional needs would not be met. I wish someone would step in and fix the food and Kitchen staff!

We stayed at Golden Lodge Assisted Living & Memory Care. I didn't like the food. The activities were fine, but they could have had more. The maintenance around the place and the weeds were not taken care of. There was trash by the trash bin that wasn't picked up. I like the people who were caring for the people. I didn't like the CEO they hired after we moved in for two weeks. They brought in a new company to run the place, and to me, it just went downhill from there. They had a beauty salon, a podiatrist who came in once a month, and an exercise room. They could have better maintenance outside, better food, and more variety in activity.

We have chosen this community. It looked like the best place. We've only got to see a couple of places, but this was very convenient to where we are, and it seemed to have the things we needed. It's brand new, so that's very nice. The people were nice that we spoke with, obviously, and they answered the questions we had. One of the ladies asked if we wanted to come over for a meal one day, and we did. We went over and they were very good. We had a very nice lunch. It was very good. I hope they can keep that chef around for a while because he was very good. We didn't see anybody in the activities. The tour was scheduled at about 9:00 in the morning and it looked like the place was practically deserted. It's not full because it's brand new. It just opened after COVID. We visited the assisted living, but I wanted to make sure that they did have memory care attached to it so that, if and when my husband reaches that point, it's just a move down the hall, and that was a big-ticket item for me. The views are beautiful in the public areas.
