Duluth Heights Lodge Senior Living

Our experience was awesome, the staff went above and beyond helping out when my dad entered into hospice care. He passed away last [date removed] and was able to stay right in his apartment until his final breath. His comment to me was "this is the best place you could have found for me, I only wish we would have done it sooner. My dad felt like part of a big family! There is a lot of fun planned however my dad didn't really participate much. I definitely would recommend Duluth Heights Lodge, our experience was very positive. We even got my uncle (my dad's brother) to move in before my dad passed. They were able to spend some wonderful time together and share memories and experiences together. Thank you so much for helping us find this place and being there for us!!

The staff helped ease the nerves of both family and resident. They were patient and kind explaining the processes they have until my elderly uncle understood what to expect and the expectations expected of him. I love all the activities they offer and how welcoming the home is. I’m always greeted with a smile when I come to visit and they encourage him to step out of his comfort zone.

The Lodge is a super place to live. Newly updated, it’s cozy, comfy in appearance …very welcoming. The staff is helpful, efficient, friendly, and caring. The apartments are good sized and nicely decorated, many with balconies or patios. Morning transportation to appointments is available. Many varied activities are offered. Unnecessary to move when additional assistance is needed. All in all am pleased with my choice!

Excellent facility, caring & friendly staff, many activities to choose from. Dining options are great. The best choice I made to move here. I wanted a facility in Duluth, that had a setting with trees and wildlife having lived in the country. I also wanted an independent living apartment, but I wouldnot have to change apartments when I need assisted living services. My other requirement was I wanted my own patio. I have all of the above! Is great!

I had lived in Duluth once before many years ago but my reason basic reason was because I have most of my family in the area.I am very pleased with my experience here. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

We are thrilled with my dad being at Duluth Heights Lodge. Cleanliness - no complaints at all. Staff has gone above and beyond in making my dad feel welcome from the very 1st day on. We are just getting into needing more help and care (just put on Hospice Care) but so far they have been wonderful and willing to help us out wherever needed. Food is excellent . They do a lot of fun activities, however my dad doesn't really participate in them much

They were so welcoming. All Staff know you take an interesting you and try to connect you with activities and others. Provide activities outside the the living community. Morning van rides to Dr. And other needs to stores etc. A variety of social activities including church and Bible study. We have a residents council to meet with staff director on issues of concern. Many appointments have outside patios or balconies and I can stay in independent living apt when I need to have assisted living help. That was my top two criteria for choosing Duluth Heights Lodge and in the midst of the city with woods surrounding the complex.

Friendly staff and clean. Great seating areas for visiting, snacking, and games. They raved about the food before we got there but it was very bland. I sat with my dad during a couple of meals and everyone agreed. I had one meal there the first day and was unimpressed.

This is a nice place.

Things have recently gone downhill - in the beginning we loved it though. In the wing my loved one is in, a lot of the rooms are empty. They raised their rates 10% at the beginning of this month. They offer a lot of activities and I think my loved one would go more often if someone came to walk them down. My loved one is not liking the food so much right now, in the last month we have heard more complaints. They were bought out before we moved in and some changes are being made. I do think it is very expensive for what you get.

It might be a little bit more money but it is nicer then what we expected, and cleaner then what we expected. The director of nursing is very good, she is very thorough and persistent with her process. She is definitely their shining staff on the staff team. Our loved one is very pleased with the meals and dining service and hopefully once they get their new hearing aids they are able to participate in the activities. We would definitely recommend this community to others.
