My Dad lived here for four years. He loved it here - beautiful apartment on the main floor overlooking the courtyard. He especially liked watching the geese and ducks - also the neighbors' dogs. The staff is so caring and helpful. The residents are also caring and helpful. Hospice of the Midwest was able to come in and work with my Dad. Great activities available including ice cream social and movie night. On nice days, a stroll or roll around the pond was fabulous!... Read more

I've lived here since [date removed]. This place has excellent help, all are very friendly. I've been in a two bedroom until my husband died in February of 2023 - now I live in a one bedroom - both have been very nice.

I've lived here for a number of years and have been happy with the staff and enjoy the company of the residents who live here. I'm happy with the location and size of my apartment and love that I get three meals prepared for me every day.

Support Staff is excellent, having bus transportation is a huge bonus. Bus driver will take you exactly where you need to go. Some other positives include having a library and having music in the halls.

I’m new here only two months. It’s taking me a while to get used to everything. Wait staff is great but food needs improvement especially dinner 5 pm. Seems clean. It’s Christmas time and we have trees up, some music, but you can’t put up a nativity figures as you might offend someone. In WBL it’s 98% Christian. Sure don’t understand that! Jesus is the reason we have Christmas! Overall staff seems good.

I highly recommend this facility! Residents and staff so friendly!! Apts are small but so many amenities it's worth it. Very impressed! You don't get the full effect until you tour and find out all that's included. Great location and close to a bunch of stores.

My loved one was previously a resident at Holiday The Lodge at White bear and the overall experience was okay. The everyday staff was great. However, the General Manager was not. A horrible human being. The housekeeping was okay. Communication with the family was okay. The move in process was great, but all of the staff have left. The meals were horrible, we brought our own food. I would not recommend this facility to others.

April 17, 2024Thank you for your feedback. The Regional Vice President would be happy to discuss your concerns further. Feel free to email me at CustomerService@AtriaSeniorLiving.com if you would like to be put in touch.
Been a resident here seven years. Great unit and price with many things included in rent including meals. Food can be improved for lunch and dinner. Breakfast among the best at any senior living. Thankfully other places to eat out in the area.

Everyone is very friendly, but the food is horrible. Quality they don't cook frozen waffles they let them thaw and serve them for an example.

March 31, 2023Thank you for reaching out. I’ve shared your review with the General Manager and she’s spoken with the Chef to learn more. She and the Chef are happy to speak with you directly to address your concerns. I’m also available at CustomerService@AtriaSeniorLiving.com.
Very impressed with staff at The Lodge. Well priced with excellent amenities. Outdated, although it sounded like they have plan for remodel. Smelled like cigarette smoke, but were going smoke free Aug 1, 2022. Small apartments with mini kitchen, 3 meals/day included in rent.

The tour was ok - this facility was definitely not as clean as some others we visited. It was more affordable which was nice. The fitness center was not really a fitness center at all, it was just a little corner that had some equipment in it that was older. I did love the beautiful park like setting, the grounds were very well kept. They had a ground floor apartment available, but the one we were shown was very dirty and the screens were all torn, the lady said they were going to be remodeling it. She did follow up after the tour to check in with us. The location was wonderful, but it just was not as clean as I would have liked it to be.
I think the value for the money is great. I have friends whose parents are in similar facilities and they pay twice as much as we do here. So far things are working out very well and she seems way happier here than when she was living by herself. We would definitely recommend The Lodge at White Bear to others.

People here are friendly. The food is decent. The only problem we've had is some payment issues with their accounting department. But that's about it. Everything else has been good.

The location of The Lodge community is very close and convenient for our family. The staff members and their friendliness really stood out to us when we first came to tour, and we would recommend to others.

They were just slowly opening back up from Covid. They took the proper precautions and hadn't had any Covid cases. I felt good knowing they did what they could to keep people safe, and evidently it was working. My loved one liked the food there and thought the other residents were very nice people. The manager was very helpful with things when we were trying to get get him set up and moved in. They provided housekeeping. We didn't have any issues really. We would have loved to have kept him there, but due to declining health, we had to move him to a place where they could provide more care.
