Very impressed with the staff here. Everyone has been super kind and helpful. My MIL broke her humerus and needed a rehab facility to help her get her strength back and have PT for use of the broken arm. The very first night she had a panic attack and was ready to just leave. The weekend supervisor, Angela Williams, came in like an absolute angel and helped diffuse a stressful and scary situation for my MIL. Her gentle demeanor was exactly what was needed to help calm everyone down. I can’t thank her enough and all the staff so far who have been so kind and supportive. Also, a gentle reminder to anyone reading this review; healthcare is a rapidly changing industry, and many places are understaffed (and not because they want to be), have patience, be kind in return, but don’t be afraid to speak up if you need to. No one can read minds and you’ll find if you just ask kindly, you’ll get what you need. Thanks for listening to my TED talk. lol

I would just like to say the time I enter the building I was really impressed by the cleanness and the smell. Visited many center nothing compare to The Lodge. The house Keepers work hard you always see them and their red uniforms doing amazing job. I just want to say I appreciate all you guys due for the residents.

( UPDATE: 12/24/25 My Mother DIED unexpectedly in November. She was found UNRESPONSIVE @ THE LODGE, when a tech finally came around to check on her. My mom developed BED SORES that became & stayed infected because she would sit in a SOILED SHITTY DIAPER for several hours a day. The doctor at HCA said my mother was covered in her own Diarrhea, upon arrival & that Feces had entered her bloodstream, through the untreated & open wounds of the bed sores she had. She died of Sepsis/Septic Shock within a few hours. There are several reasons why my mother is no longer alive, as she had a bone infection of the lower spine. She really needed 24hr care. The Lodge could not facilitate her needs. Her condition became worse, while staying there. She was supposed to have Physical Therapy, but their idea of PT is a JOKE!! BY THE WAY, NOBODY from THE LODGE contacted me that Friday to tell me about my mother & how they found her. You know what their excuse was? I was told they couldn't find my phone number. My # was posted & written down as my moms emergency contact. The nurses on shift had my #. It was written down in my mom's room & posted for all staff to see. I was contacted by an ER DOCTOR at HCA to bring my mom's Living Will paperwork because she was expected to die that day. What??? I just saw her the night before. So, do what you can for your loved ones. Dont let the hospital discharge your parent to one of these assisted living rehabilitation facilities, especially when you know they have a bone infection or something just as bad. My mother should have been in Hospice Care or some place where she would have been looked after 24/7. Maybe she'd still be alive today. My issue with The Lodge was them leaving my mother to sit in her own URINE & FECES for most of the day...in the 2 mos she was there. Every time I would come to visit, her bed sores were worse or she developed new ones. And she was sitting in her own SHIT!! ) Used to be a pretty decent place, but has gone downhill in the past 5 years. The meals are HORRIBLE & COLD, by the time they are delivered to residents. As much money as it costs to stay here, you would think the management & Big Dogs would feed these folks more nutritious food. Like actually "put some effort into it" for once. I, personally, wouldn't feed this CRAP to ANYONE. The "homeless shelters" & "soup kitchens" in Marion County are served much BETTER QUALITY. How do you explain that? Also, "The Staff" isn't very kind. Most of them weren't nice at all to my mother. Only a few were. She didn't get any better there. She only got worse during her stay. They put you in a room, throw an adult diaper on you & forget about ya, basically. Lots of "staff" standing around on their phones at each nurses station.. Ignoring the residents "call button" for help. Plenty of safety violations, as well. This facility & Bridgewater are both an embarrassment to Ocala & i wouldn't recommend either of them for your loved ones.

The entire staff at The Lodge has been extremely professional & welcoming to my mom & our family as we worked through the process of finding the right place for her, getting her moved in, & in providing quality care for her. Jocelyn Middleton met me at the entrance to a very neat, clean, & well maintained front lobby when I came to tour the facility. She answered all my questions & was very helpful in helping me navigate how the enrollment & insurance processes worked. She also introduced me to nurses & made me feel at ease with them being able, willing, & eager to help my mom. My mom got moved in & she is made progressions + improved daily, The Discharge Coordinator, Sarah, at The Lodge was also very good to with with when it was time to leave. I would recccomend The Lodge to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

Thank you thank you!!!
