The staff at The Lodge at Stephens Lake provided my father with exceptional care and compassion. They embrace residents like family and dedicate themselves to meeting every need with warmth and dedication. I am forever grateful for their love and support for my father during his time there, as my experience with them was exceptional. From the moment my father became a resident at The Lodge until his passing, the staff provided for his physical comfort and formed a deep, personal connection with him. Their genuine affection for him was evident in every interaction, and it brought immense peace of mind to know that he was in such caring hands. Communication was always clear and timely, with the staff going out of their way to keep us informed. Their dedication to transparency and attentiveness made a difficult situation much more manageable, and we felt genuinely supported throughout our journey. The facility itself is nothing short of top-notch, providing a comfortable and inviting environment for residents. The management and directors were incredibly informative and always available to address any concerns or questions we had. Their guidance and support were invaluable, and we always felt reassured knowing that they were there to assist us. But beyond the exceptional care and facilities, what truly sets The Lodge apart is the noticeable sense of community and camaraderie among employees and residents alike. It's not just a workplace or a neighborhood – it's a family bound together by shared experiences and genuine care for one another. Being a part of The Lodge at Stephens Lake family was a joy and a privilege, and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone seeking a compassionate and supportive environment for their loved ones. The staff's dedication and the facility's top-notch amenities make it a truly exceptional place to call home.

It was real nice, but my mother ended up having to go to skilled nursing, and they don't offer that. It was the nicest one I've been in. It's modern looking and clean. The staff was real nice and friendly, and it felt homey. The dining room was nice, spacious, and well lit. I was impressed.

My parents are living at The Commons at The Willows, and they're happy there, but it doesn't have skilled nursing. The rooms are slightly undersized. They do bingo, exercises, field trips, groups come in and sing, and there's always something going on. The food used to be better before the new management. They have a large dining room, a small dining room for special occasions, there are TV rooms in both wings, and patio furniture out on the front covered porch. They have a beauty salon, somebody comes and does haircuts and permanents, and another one comes and does their nails.
