The Lodge Assisted Living and Memory Care Community in Carson City provides two levels of care: assisted living and a dedicated memory care program. Residents who choose assisted living receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence, plus routine monitoring of vital signs and medication management by licensed nurses. The memory care unit is secured and designed for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias; it offers 24-hour supervision, structured programming to slow cognitive decline, and behavior management directed by a specially trained team. In both settings, on-site staff are available around the clock for urgent needs, and the community coordinates with outside physicians, therapists, and pharmacies to ensure continuity of medical treatment.
Beyond hands-on medical services, the community offers fall-prevention programs, scheduled transportation to medical appointments, and regular health assessments to update individualized care plans. Rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged on site, and a visiting podiatrist and mobile lab services help reduce unnecessary trips out of the building. Care staff track nutrition and hydration, provide reminders for daily routines, and facilitate family conferences to keep everyone informed. An emergency call system covers both common areas and resident apartments, and electronic health records support timely coordination among doctors, nurses, and caregivers.
Accommodations include studio, one-bedroom, and companion suites, each outfitted with a private bathroom, basic kitchenette, individual climate control, cable hookups, and an emergency response device, although not every apartment includes all of these features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and residents may furnish their spaces with personal belongings to create a familiar setting. Certain floor plans are wheelchair-accessible, and grab bars and step-in showers are standard in most, but prospective residents should verify specific safety adaptations during a tour. Pets are allowed in designated apartments; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Dining is served three times daily in a central restaurant-style dining room, with alternate entrées, heart-healthy options, and texture-modified meals for those who need them. A dietitian reviews menus to align with physician-ordered restrictions, and staff monitor intake for residents at risk of weight loss or dehydration. Grab-and-go snacks and a hydration station are available throughout the day, and a private dining area can be reserved for family celebrations. Room service is offered during short-term illness, though this feature is not available in every circumstance and should be confirmed with management.
