The Lodge at Natchez Trace provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to round-the-clock help with daily activities while ensuring specialized programming for those living with dementia. Short-term respite stays are accepted, which can benefit families who need temporary support or residents recovering from illness. Residents who manage diabetes receive targeted oversight, and on-site speech therapy is available for anyone with communication or swallowing challenges.
Medical and therapeutic services are delivered on the premises by nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and a visiting podiatrist. The community is secured to protect residents who may wander, and staff members are trained in medication management, pain control, incontinence care, and ambulatory support. Hospice services are available when needed, and the building is designed to accommodate memory loss with cues and layouts that reduce confusion.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and select units include cable service so residents can keep up with news and entertainment. Each living space is designed for safety, with emergency call systems and barrier-free bathrooms, but not every apartment carries every amenity; prospective residents should confirm specific features during a tour.
Daily meals follow a set menu that meets nutritional guidelines, yet the kitchen also honors on-order requests for residents with dietary preferences or medical restrictions. Snacks are available throughout the day, room service can be arranged for those who prefer in-room dining, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions.
Residents have access to an exercise room, movie room, barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, and scheduled on-site religious services. Group transportation is provided for medical appointments and local outings.
