Calson Management

My loved one has had no complaints about this community and has really been enjoying everything it has to offer. She seems to be very impressed with the meals and some of the great amenities . I do wish that she would get more involved in some of the activities they have to offer instead of being in her room so often. Overall I am pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

I have no complaints about this community, my loved one seems to be really enjoying his stay. The meals are good and the facility is kept clean. The staff is excellent on reaching out and keeping the family informed when there is a problem or update.

Very friendly staff. These people are very good to my Mom.

Pleasant atmosphere. Very clean, spacious room. Attractive common areas. Varied activities. Quiet. Two pianos in 2 of the rooms for music performances. Assigned dining seating. Full transportation. Rise was very engaging.

Good amount of space and willing to accommodate. Old bldg that didn't smell very good. Kosher food may be a problem. Seemed negotiable on price.

Nice, small, intimate. Privately owned. Location is good, but not walkable. They have Mah jongg!

Dark wood interiors - good familiar location. Rooms not configured well.

There were smells in the hall and it was just not that nice. The staff seemed very nice. We had dinner there. It was full kosher but it was quite tasty. My issue was, where do you go? It's just in a residential neighborhood so there wouldn't be anything around for my friend to walk to and do. Also, the smells in the hall were pretty strong.

I do like the community but there are things that we don't like about it. They told us they have a driver and transportation but they are funny about it. It is difficult to get them; you have to setup the right time and location ahead of time. Just seems like they make it hard to use. The food could also be better, it is a little bland and they could use more of a variation.

Overall my loved one is adjusting well. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

When we left they had activities person leave. Planned movies across the hall from my dad room never happened. My sister had to ask and after living there 4 months they figured how to operate movie so he finally see a movie. Assisted living was not something he could adjust to. My dad was there a total of 8 months. He grew tired of things that bugged him after a time. Menus not posted ahead of time. He got that weekly which made him happy. Excursions to casinos happened right before he left. He wished it could have been earlier. The place was nice just not what he wanted.

My dad wanted to see a movie in their state of the art home theater. I think it was the first time it was used. They had no idea how to operate sound or lighting had to keep door open. They were not advertising activities properly. Now they are posted daily. As the items frequently change. Due to lack of participation from residents. I do expect things to change but wonder why you have to complain to get improvement.

There was not much landscaping on the exterior of the building. The interior was beautiful. This would be a good community for loved ones that need assisted living.

Outdoor living space was small and sad. I was told no outings for memory care. Did get a call back saying they were changing that. On my tour they actually said it was against the law to let them go on outings so that concerned me as that did not seem correct so I was glad they called to clarify. The inside was beautiful too bad the outside space fours not match. Thy also said my mom was not free to go in and out ar her leisure. This set up just did not work for us as my mom needs to be able to enjoy the outdoors throughout the day.

My mother in law is no longer at The Lodge. It did not work out for her. There was inadequate staffing for her needs. It is fine for people who are independent though.

Have a camera in the room. Staff lied about changing my mother, bringing her food tray, etc. I had camera footage proving they did not check on her. This allowed me to verify she was being cared for as required and to call the facility when care was not provided.

We picked this community because it was the only place taking intakes on the weekend.Be proactive, have a camera on your loved one. Staff tends to ignore clients and not provide basic care.

The facility is beautiful but staff rude and dismissive to my parents. Food was ok, but they regularly ran out of even basics. The care is very substandard. When my mom was vomiting and unable to take her medication, no one followed up on how she was doing or what they could do to help. They just left us a phone message that “Your mom refused her medication.” A very upsetting and demoralizing experience for my parents. They moved after less than two months. No one at The Lodge asked why.

We moved my parent into The Lodge at Glen Cove and were promised services that are not delivered. They are severely understaffed and the turnover rate is high among employees. The Dining Room continually does not have the food in the kitchen that is listed on the menu. There are problems with activities listed that are cancelled. The maintenance has been a continual problem and again there is no one to fix no hot water in the kitchen. The transportation as promised to appointments does not happen. I have to grocery shop to augment the food that they are not receiving. What happened to the promises that have Not materialized!!!

The night shift staff are not as responsive, or at times as competent, as the day shift staff.
