November 7, 2024Such a wonderful review! We are pleased that you and your grandmother are happy with Limestone Lodge. The residents are the best part of our job. Our staff love them as family.
We love that our friend is here at Limestone Lodge. We are able to come and visit anytime and we can stay as long as would like without having to be interrupted or rushed out. The staff is very friendly and always welcomes us. The other residents are happy and is normally playing games or making a craft. I think Limestone Lodge is a little piece of Heaven.

November 7, 2024Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We are pleased that you are happy with the care your friend is receiving. We appreciate you saying, "it is a little piece of Heaven"! We agree!
I wanted everyone to know that this is the best place to have your loved one. The staff is very caring and will go out of their way to make sure your loved one feels at home. They spend their time with each resident and knows what they like and do not like. It is safe to say that the staff does spoil their residents which is not a bad thing at all! They have exceeded our expectations ten fold.

My Father In Law just moved into the facility not too long ago and he has flurished since moving there. He plays bingo, eats his meals with his new friends and sits on the porch with others. We have been very blessed to find Limestone Lodge. The staff is amazing!

My mom has been in several places and I have worked as an LPN in several places. LL is, by far, the best! The residents are treated like family, loved on, taken on trips, encouraged to participate in exercise, games, signings, movie nights, and numerous other activities. I have never been in another assisted living facility that felt more like a “home”. My mom couldn’t be happier & neither could I.

November 14, 2024Thank you for this wonderful review! [name removed] and her staff are amazing and love the residents like family. Thank you for the feedback and we are pleased that your mother is happy at Limestone Lodge.
Mother’s stay at Limestone Lodge has been a blessing for her and our family. She has been loved and cared for by the medical team and the staff daily. They notice her needs. She eats well and is more active than she has been in several years. There is calendar of activities that everyone seems to enjoy. As family we have always felt welcome to visit or join in on the activities. Limestone Lodge goes the extra mile to make the residents there feel at home.

The Lodge is a very homey place you’re love ones. The staff is very friendly and efficient. My Mom has been in another asst living facility before the Lodge, it was a newer place but was not as caring and attentive as the staff at the Lodge. I never have to worry about my Mom here.

My Dad and I took a tour not too long ago and attended the Halloween event this past Saturday. They were so many people but at every car, we were talked to so kindly and they made you feel like you were family. Back to the tour, the Administrator was very knowledgeable, caring and took her time with us. She made my Dad feel welcome to be there.

First of all, my mother was in the most expensive facility in Limestone County for 5 years. It was fantastic for 4 years, then another company bought them out. It went downhill FAST. After never having any complaints, my husband and I sent a huge report to the state and my mother was asked to leave. I tried to address the issues there with a co-owner and other corporate leaders. They did nothing. The state substantiated the claims in our report and they are on probationary license now. Now to the Lodge. My mother wishes they had "kicked her out" of the other place sooner... just so she could have been here longer. She LOVES the staff. The price is better, she doesn't have to wait on her food for an hour, and it's edible. We don't have to worry about her being neglected or abused, her meds tampered with or any horrible things that went on with other residents before coming here. We would LOVE it a little more updated, and a larger room, but she doesn't mind enough to leave.

June 27, 2024Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled that your mother is happy with us. We love our residents... they are the reason we love coming to work!
Our family had an in person tour with Limestone Lodge and the facility was clean it looked well kept on the outside but it did not have a homey feeling to it. The residents were like zombies. Not one of the people I saw made any type of facial expression.

Both the assisted living and memory care side were clean which was a major factor for me. Overall I felt my experience was great and I would recommend Limestone Lodge!
