Our House Senior Living - Lodi Assisted Care sits at 121 2nd St. and feels more like a home than a facility, with small community size offering personal attention from long-tenured, highly-trained staff, some who've worked there for years and go through more training than the state even asks. The building has a front porch with a sitting area, outdoor walking paths, backyards, and gardens as well as indoor living rooms, a dining room with a family-style kitchen and snack bar, and a television lounge. The community keeps things comfortable for anyone who moves in, with studio and semi-private rooms, companion suites with bigger bathrooms, and private rooms too, all set up with hand railings and wheelchair-accessible showers for everyone's safety. The staff speaks English and stays on-site 24 hours a day to help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and emergencies, using personal call systems and emergency alert devices so that residents can call for help when they need it.
Residents get three home-cooked meals made daily, with choices for vegetarian, allergy-sensitive, and diabetic diets, plus snacks in between, which takes a load off when it comes to cooking and grocery shopping. Housekeepers keep the rooms, linens, and laundry tidy, and dry cleaning's also available if needed. The beautician visits on-site for haircuts and more, and someone's always around to help coordinate with outside healthcare providers when needed, so keeping track of outside appointments or medical concerns isn't something residents have to manage alone.
The staff helps with all sorts of care needs, including non-ambulatory and aging in place care, so if someone needs help moving from a bed to a wheelchair or managing their diabetes, there's always support. Residents who have bladder or bowel incontinence can get help as long as they can manage it themselves. If more specialized care's needed, there's a dedicated memory care section in its own building for those with memory impairments or dementia, and hospice and respite care are also options. Seniors who prefer keeping active and social won't have trouble here, since the calendar includes both indoor and outdoor activities, movie nights, gardening, trips out to a local nutrition site for bingo, playing cards, and shared meals, and the staff drives residents to activities and appointments using the complimentary transportation and resident parking. There's devotional services or religious activities offered both on and off site, and designated outdoor smoking areas for those who need them.
Residents have plenty of ways to enjoy time with each other and their families, since monthly family functions bring together about 60-70 people for get-togethers. Safety's a big focus, with things like hand railings, call systems, medication dispensers, and walk-in tubs included, plus security measures and guides to help seniors stay safe and independent, and plenty of guides and resources to help families understand what's available. The community supports both independent and assisted living, with choices like senior apartments, condos, and townhomes, along with home care and companion care options, so many people can find a fit for different needs. Programs are set up to offer support with daily living, prevent isolation, and keep everyone engaged through "Our Life" programs and a full calendar of activities, all while the atmosphere stays homey, relaxed, and caring. The place gets recognized for its supportive staff and comfortable setting, so residents get treated like family, not like a number, and the focus always stays on offering a safe, welcoming environment filled with dignity and respect as people age.
