Review for The Lodge at Wake Forest
From what I do know, he is very happy there. They did want to raise their fees this year, but they worked with him to keep it as minimal of an increase as he could handle based on his Pension and SS income. He does enjoy much of the staff and residents.

A Happy Place Crippled by Unreasonable Restrictions
After 5-months' residency there are few complaints I can render. However, there is a significant one that looms above the others. During times of illness residents find themselves limited to only 3 free meals per year unless they can show they are definitely ill; (after that they pay $5/meal) this has become an ambience of distrust between the staff and residents.. Personally, I have not used the cafeteria all that much because of such situations as 2 out of 3 grilled cheese sandwiches were rancid tasting from not cleaning the overly cooked oils off the grill. Back to those residents who are ill, they should feel free to receive their meals that they are already paying for and they do not wish to contaminate the cafeteria with their germs. For many of us, anyway,we are paying for meals but not eating them. There is definitely an imbalance in this matter. Otherwise, overall, friendly faces and freely giving of help has been awesome.

Review for The Lodge at Wake Forest
This is the place my loved one, liked when he looked at it. We did have other places we wanted him to look at, but this place had immediate availability and he seemed very happy with this choice. For the minor issues, he's not concerned. As for the cost, he is able to afford it. I personally just think they are all over priced, some way more so than others. We would recommend this place. As I stated my loved one, has told us that he is very happy here. He enjoys talking with the other residents. From our visits it is a very well run establishment, clean, and maintained. We have not seen anything that we would complain about up to this point.

The Closest You Can Get to Being at Home
The place is exceptional and my Mother loves it there.
The staff is very hands on with residents and are very friendly and helpful. The on-site care caregiving company - Home Instead is amazing. My Dad passed away a little over a month ago and I did not think my Mom could stay there by herself, but she has adapted so well she wants to stay there and not move to Texas. The value for the money is great with all that they offer through activities.

It's a Nice Place
It is okay; however, it could be better. There could be improvements with security, housekeeping of the rooms, and the staff responsiveness to questions and requests. My loved one never received a mail key.
There are three meals a day served. There are washers and dryers are in a common area and are free to use.
The staff are very friendly.

Community Tour
From what I saw on our virtual tour of The Lodge, it looked very nice. It was one of the only places I could find that could meet my loved one’s needs, but it was a lot further away from our family. They ended up as our second choice.

This is a good community. The people are nice here. The staffing numbers could be better, as I feel they don't have enough staff in the community for the residents.

Mediocre
Apts not cleaned between residents. Food is mediocre, small in quantity, and heavy on carbs. Management very laisse fair. The activities are geared to the lowest cognitive denominator.
Poor communication.

Positive Rating B+
We were very satisfied with The Lodge at Wake Forest, but it became too unaffordable for us. We were happy, and our loved one was happy there. I liked the availability of the dining room at all times. You could go sit down for a meal at any time. They also had availability of a hairdresser and nail tech, which was convenient.

I would not recommend
We did not have a good experience at The Lodge at Wake Forest. I felt that there were many safety hazards. They also went through several different general managers during our stay here and the food was not good.

Great Community
It's a nice community, clean, and the residents are nice. The staff is friendly. The apartments are on the smaller size but adequate. The apartments each have their own private outdoor area. There are lots of stores around the area. There is even a pharmacy that delivers to the community.

my review of the lodge
I would highly recommend this community. There have been a couple of times we have visited that there have been some smells.
The staff is friendly and is easy to work with. The room sizes are perfect and the food is good but they need some variety. They don't have any dietary meals for my mom who needs gluten-free.

great place for loved one
We chose this facility because it was close to where we were living so we were able to visit often. The room sizes were very spacious. It is a very open and friendly environment for your loved one. The staff are friendly and they provide a bus service a couple times a week to the store. I would recommend The Lodge at Wake Forest.

Great job !
No complaints over the last 5 years. Very helpful and professional. Kudos for the discipline shown in protecting residents over yearly influenza seasons and now coronavirus. I feel my mother is as protected as much as reasonably possible. Keep it up. Consistency is the strategy !

Pleasant Experience
I am extremely happy with the Lodge. My father-in-law has been there for 6 years and I am in charge of his care but I live over 2 hours away. I have found them helpful with getting things taken care of long distance. If I call the are responsive. The services that the provide on location are extremely helpful.

The Lodge At Wake Forest
I wasn't happy with the housekeeping my mother received. I thought the staff was very welcoming and very helpful if anything needed doing. I thought the food was good and my mother always enjoyed the food. They do have a lot of activities available for the residents to participate in. Definitely a good value for the price. I liked the fact that in the building, they were able to take my mother to therapy when she needed it and the doctors are able to make house calls, which is very helpful.
