Vibrant Life Senior Living, The Lodges of Durand provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as needs change. The team is prepared to manage common and complex medical situations, including behavioral issues often associated with dementia and residents who are up and active throughout the night. Care plans are designed to support advanced dementia conditions, and licensed nurses coordinate closely with physicians to adjust medications, monitor health indicators, and respond quickly to changes.
Around-the-clock care is delivered by staff who have passed background checks, with an awake night shift ensuring continuous supervision. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff to oversee clinical tasks and train caregivers. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the community supports a wide range of mobility needs—from simple standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers. This broad service scope enables residents to remain safely in place as physical abilities decline.
Apartments are designed with functionality in mind. Some layouts include a private bathroom, while others share facilities; prospective residents should verify availability during a tour. Cable service can be arranged in many units for those who want personal television access, but again, not every accommodation offers every feature.
Meals follow a set menu that emphasizes balanced nutrition, and the kitchen can modify textures or ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets, such as low-sodium or diabetic meal plans. Staff members provide full assistance during meals for residents who need help with utensil use, cueing, or complete hand-over-hand feeding.
Residents and visitors have access to on-site parking, and the building is fully wheelchair accessible, including common areas and outdoor paths. A barber and beauty shop operates on-site for routine haircuts and grooming. Internet access is available throughout the community so residents can stay connected with family. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, local stores, and community events without relying on private vehicles.
