At The Lodge, we not only aspire to know our residents and exceed their expectations but also welcome each into our extended family. With high ceilings and a country lodge interior, we offer a beautiful place for residents to call home, and we ensure they feel safe and secure.
Just a short drive from downtown Nashville, and only 5 minutes away from the famed Loveless Cafe, Natchez Trace is a breath of fresh Tennessee air. We provide experienced around-the-clock care and respectful assistance throughout daily activities in a beautiful, warm environment.
My parents have been living at The Lodge for 6 months now. We have been very happy with the care and attention that they have received there. We especially love the balcony that looks out over the woods, it makes it feel like a home. The cat loves the balcony and the opportunity to do a little bird watching.
The nursing staff is proactive about making sure that they are receiving the care they need. They communicate with the Blue Sky Housecalls who is onsite once a week and serves as their PCP to help get labs get taken and reported to the proper doctors. Med changes and med administration are handled efficiently. The onsite Physical Therapist is also super helpful and kind.
The caregivers are compassionate and very helpful as we deal with daily changes of needs due to dementia. The facilities manager was very helpful when we moved in and has continued to be helpful when things need attention in the room.
Food and activities are also worth writing about. Quality food is such an important aspect of quality of life, and they do a good job of providing tasty and healthy meals that are well prepared. The activities director has a great rapport with the residents and goes out of his way to make them feel comfortable and engaged with a variety of activities.
This is not the only assisted living facility that they’ve lived in, so we have some other experiences for comparison. The Lodge provides equal (or better) care to what they received at more expensive facilities. I wanted to write this review to debunk some of the negative reviews that I’ve seen online. Of course, places like this are hard to staff, and there will be turnover and some disgruntled employees (and temps) who have bad days like everyone, but seems there was a change over in management right before we moved in and they’ve worked to address those issues. We’ve found the current staff and administration to be very responsive and helpful.
Don’t ever put ya loves there it’s a dump! Go to Franklin all of them are the best.
My mother was in the Lodge for 18 months. She was initially in assisted living and was moved to memory care as her dementia progressed. Russell and his staff did a phenomenal job caring for her and we are blessed and beyond grateful to have found such a loving, caring environment for both her and the family. Highly recommend!
My father lived at The Lodge for 2 1/2 years, and through three different administrators. There have been significant ups and downs with the changes in management over the years, but I can honestly say that the Lodge is at its best with the current team! The activities and outings offered have always been one of my dad’s favorite aspects of the Lodge. He also loved the caregivers, the food, and the general homey feeling of this facility.
This nursing home is HORRIBLE. Mc Kenna has a very bad attitude and it’s not organized well at all. The ratio of staff to the patients have been unbearable the patients has black eyes and they have falls everyday. They staff is also very lazy just wish the patients get the best care elsewhere just not here . This nursing home needs to be under investigation.
