Re facility: renovations are almost underway, with carpeting and wall paint/covering first. I believe all furniture in shared areas is to be replaced, as it is, though pleasant, quite old. The staff here are essentially wonderful. Any reasonable resident should, in my opinion, feel cared about and paid attention to. This applies to management, dining room servers, receptionists (24/7), maintenance, housekeepers, and the staff member who plans and organizes our activities does a great job. The facility provides transportation to medical appointments 2 mornings a week. There is also transportation to varied shopping and to weekly lunches at assorted restaurants. The chef is excellent.

In January I found out I would need to move my mother from Assisted Living in California to Carson City where I live. I toured several Assisted Living facilities and felt the best about what I saw and heard at The Lodge. [Name removed] was wonderful and spent time with me touring the facility and going over everything that was available at The Lodge. [Name removed] invited my husband and me to attend a supper event they had in the dinning room before we had signed up for a room. This dinning room can't be beat! On the third floor with beautiful views of the western mountains out every window. Once we met the Executive Director, [name removed] we were sold. [Name removed] is a very hands on Director and a caring person. My mother is now fully moved in and extremely happy with her new room and the care she is getting. She is enjoying the activities that are offered and loves her view from her table in the dining room. I would recommend The Lodge to anyone who is looking for a caring, clean, well run Assisted Living facility.

Atria Grass Valley is a very nice community. The staff are very helpful and communicate with any concerns about my loved one that they may have. The residents are friendly as well. It is a nice place to live for my loved one.
