Our House Senior Living Assisted Care - Lodi offers seniors a comfortable place to live in a small, close-knit setting, and the design makes it feel more like a home than a building, with friendly staff who know each resident well and have years of experience, sometimes sticking around longer than anywhere else, which matters a lot when you want someone who remembers how you like your meals or knows when something's a little off and needs extra attention because they've been trained so thoroughly, even more than what the state asks for. The facility provides different places to live, including senior apartments, condos, and townhomes, so people can find what suits them best, and if someone needs a little help, the staff offers support for things like dressing, bathing, cooking, and managing medicines, with 24-hour awake staff always there just in case, plus call systems and medical alert features so help comes quickly when needed. If a resident has problems with memory, there's a whole separate building for memory care, with safety features inside and out, including hand railings, wheelchair accessible showers, security options, and gardens out back where people can sit or walk safely along the paths. Meals are all made fresh three times a day, and they take care to meet special diets, from vegetarian to diabetic needs, preparing the food in a kitchen that opens up to a big dining room so it feels almost like home, and everyone can eat together or grab a snack when they like, with choices for allergies or health needs.
Transportation is included and residents get rides to medical appointments, shopping, or outings like bingo and games with friends, and if someone wants to go somewhere extra, they can arrange it for a fee, which helps people stay active in the community without worrying about driving. There's also help for non-ambulatory residents with assisted transfers, though they need to manage their incontinence mostly themselves, but the staff can help with reminders and with both bowel and bladder incontinence care, and diabetic residents get help with monitoring, though the staff don't give insulin shots. Visiting nurses and therapists-like podiatrists, speech therapists, and physical therapists-come to the facility, so residents can get care onsite instead of leaving their homes, and hospice services are available for end-of-life care, along with short-term respite stays for those who just need a break or recovery support.
There are plenty of ways to spend the day, with social and recreational activities onsite and offsite, so no one feels left out, movie nights, walking paths, front porch sitting areas, indoor lounges with TVs, and special rooms set up for family events each month that bring everyone together, and the monthly family gathering often brings in big groups-sometimes 60 or 70 people-which keeps residents connected to the broader community. Staff help residents with daily activities, medication, and housekeeping, and people can always find a quiet space if they just want to rest, but there's also energy, with activities that support movement and social connections, devotional services both onsite and through trips, gardens for outdoor lovers, and a beautician ready to help folks look their best. The community emphasizes safety, using emergency alert systems, staff trained to respond at any hour, and secure features throughout, from the living spaces to the back garden, and they make sure people can age in place, meaning they don't have to move if their needs change over time. The "Our Life" resident program helps shape daily life, and resources like guides and videos help families stay informed, while housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are covered too, so seniors can focus on enjoying their days, not chores, making it a place where seniors feel respected, comfortable, and well cared for, all within a homey environment tucked into the town of Lodi, Wisconsin.
