This 18,000 square feet, one-story building on our Applewood campus contains 20 studios and two 2-bedroom apartments. Here highly trained staff use visual, auditory and olfactory stimuli to awaken the senses and calm the nerves. The Lodge offers residents its own beauty salon.
Lodge residents may:
• require assistance with eating
• tend to wander into others’ rooms
• be frequently incontinent
• exhibit physical or verbal aggression
• have increased anxiety, agitation, thereby resisting care
You will also be pleased with the thoughtfully designed common spaces that are an extension of your room. Resort-style amenities include massage and spa rooms, movie theater, and an outdoor patio with grill and fireplace.
MorningStar is full of diversions and delights. If your hands are itching to be active, something is always astir. Just check in with our concierge, or drop in on our Social Center. If you seek a quiet corner with only a cup of tea as a companion, that too can be found. We love the beautiful neighborhood park adjacent to our property, a popular walking route for residents as they exercise with staff members or visitors.
