My mom has been at Tower Lodge for over three years. She has found her comfort place and is happy here. All of the staff is very caring and attentive. She enjoys all of the activies especially bingo,Sunday mass and many different entertainers who come and bring joy to the residents.

A very beautiful, clean, and warm place to visit my mother. The entry and exit is super easy and the staff is very attentive and kind. Linda, one of my mother’s RNs, gave me an update about my mother’s health and shared some fun stories about my mother, since my last visit. If your family needs help with a loved one or you haven’t visited in a while, just visit anytime: It’s a great place with great residents and staff.

Place is understaffed and the care is not good, Macaroni and Cheese for Christmas Dinner, not enough staff for humane care, place also is dingy and unkempt. Not a place for end of life for a loved one. Nurse said she has about 1 week to live, mother died a few hours later, total incompetence. Watch the bank account of loved one, they will drain it without you knowing. Just got my mother's final printout of her personal expense money they had, said account is Zero, included was payment deduction for burial??? They paid nothing for the burial. Please do don't bring you loved one to Tower Lodge.

We enjoyed bringing our therapy dogs to Tower Lodge today. The residents were anxiously waiting in the community room and their spirits were high because it was Pirates Day! Their Community room was bright and clean, a great place to have a Therapy Dog visit. Thank you for inviting us! See you next month!!

I can't say enough good things about Tower Lodge. The staff is super-attentive, and the patient-to-caregiver ratio is so much better than the other long-term-care facilities my wife and I visited. The facility itself is definitely not as glitzy as the other LTCs that we saw, but we were not looking to put Mom into the "Ritz". Our number one concern was Mom's care, and it was obvious to us early on that the best actual care she would receive would be at Tower Lodge. From Jill the Admissions Director to Melissa the Director of Social Services to all the nurses and staff, the entire experience was really pleasant for Mom and me. I was contacted many times by the staff, alerting me to any of my mom's needs (mentally or physically) and any changes in medication or physical issues that arose. They really were the next best thing to having Mom here at home with me. I lost Mom a month ago, but I'm so relieved that the nurses and staff made Mom's final days comfortable and pain-free. It's obviously an extremely tough decision to put a loved one into long-term-care, but the caring people at Tower Lodge made me feel assured that I made the right one.
