The Lodge at 14th Street offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming and staffing geared to residents who have complex medical profiles. The team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risk, combativeness, sleep disturbances, wound care, oxygen support, specialized diets, and diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Individuals under 60 years old and those living with advanced dementia or other psychiatric conditions are also accepted. Full-assistance help is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the community accommodates every level of mobility, from walker use and one-person transfers to full Hoyer-lift transfers and bed-bound care.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. An awake night shift, routine background checks, and continuous security coverage help maintain safety. Both the front and rear grounds are fenced, exit doors are alarmed, and in-room pull cords link directly to staff response. Residents have access to on-site podiatry as well as coordination for psychiatric care, all supported by a full-time activity director to integrate therapeutic engagement with daily routines.
Accommodations range from suites with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to more compact rooms, some of which come furnished. Independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate allow residents and families to tailor the space, although not every unit offers every feature.
Dining services include three daily meals with a set menu, an on-order option for added choice, and snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen team manages physician-directed diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified plans, ensuring alignment with each resident’s medical requirements and personal preferences.
Residents benefit from on-site parking, outside smoking areas, full wheelchair accessibility, and facility-wide internet access. Communal gardens provide outdoor space, and religious services are conducted on the premises. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping, and community outings.
