A great place for seniors to live with multiple levels of care so you can age in place without having a Big move
This was a great place for my Nana to live. She was always in the independent living apartment. They were fantastic during covid and kept everyone safe. Even came by with groceries for sale so the residents didn't have to leave. I am so happy my Nana found this place. Highly recommend.
An excellent experience for elders from the community. We availed ourselves of the seniors drop in service. Grandma was reluctant going in and happy coming out.
This is a very attractive development with lots of windows and natural light

Response from the owner 6 years agoThank you Susan - we like to think so!
Excellent care by staff, great activities for residents, and a warm atmosphere.
My mother has been in kiwanis lodge for 11 years. She is now 88 and unable to feed herself. She has lost alot of weight because there is not enough staff to help her eat. I try to be there as much as possible to help her eat. There is an immediate need gor more caregivers to help with meals.
