Nursing and Medical Care

The Lodge provides for 24 hour access to medical care. Our Medical Director is currently available on site 3 mornings per week. Medical coverage can be by a resident’s own family physician if 24 hour coverage is provided. If not, the Lodge’s Medical Director will provide this service. A resident’s plan of care is developed with input from the resident’s physician; our nursing, pastoral, activation, and dietary staff to meet each resident’s physical, social, spiritual, and emotional needs.
