The Lodge at Grand Junction offers Assisted Living and Memory Care, including support for residents living with advanced dementia. The care team is equipped to manage individuals who wander during the day or night, present elopement risks, stay up all night, use supplemental oxygen, or manage diabetes with oral medication. A Therapy Room on site allows licensed professionals to deliver rehabilitative services without the need to leave the building, reducing outside appointments and keeping care coordinated.
Staff members undergo background checks and an awake night shift ensures residents are monitored around the clock. 24-hour security, door alarms, and fenced front and rear areas help maintain a secure perimeter, while a PERS system alerts staff if assistance is needed. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting and offer some physical help during meals. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one- and two-person transfers for residents using walkers or wheelchairs. The Activity Director organizes daily engagements designed to match each resident’s cognitive and physical abilities.
Private and semi-private apartments feature options such as a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and scheduled housekeeping and laundry. Not every apartment includes every feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour. Independent Living residents can also arrange for housekeeping and laundry services, giving them a maintenance-free lifestyle while retaining the freedom to handle daily routines on their own terms.
Meals are served from a set menu three times a day, with staff prepared to modify textures or portions to accommodate medical or personal dietary requirements. Snacks are available between meals so residents have access to nourishment throughout the day. For those who need it, caregivers provide cueing or physical assistance during dining to promote adequate nutrition and hydration.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, library, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Residents may smoke outdoors in designated areas. Transportation options include a community shuttle for medical appointments and proximity to public transit for personal outings.
