Review for The Lodge at Wake Forest
This is the place my loved one, liked when he looked at it. We did have other places we wanted him to look at, but this place had immediate availability and he seemed very happy with this choice. For the minor issues, he's not concerned. As for the cost, he is able to afford it. I personally just think they are all over priced, some way more so than others. We would recommend this place. As I stated my loved one, has told us that he is very happy here. He enjoys talking with the other residents. From our visits it is a very well run establishment, clean, and maintained. We have not seen anything that we would complain about up to this point.

The Closest You Can Get to Being at Home
The place is exceptional and my Mother loves it there. The staff is very hands on with residents and are very friendly and helpful. The on-site care caregiving company - Home Instead is amazing. My Dad passed away a little over a month ago and I did not think my Mom could stay there by herself, but she has adapted so well she wants to stay there and not move to Texas. The value for the money is great with all that they offer through activities.

It's a Nice Place
It is okay; however, it could be better. There could be improvements with security, housekeeping of the rooms, and the staff responsiveness to questions and requests. My loved one never received a mail key. There are three meals a day served. There are washers and dryers are in a common area and are free to use. The staff are very friendly.

From what I saw on our virtual tour of The Lodge, it looked very nice. It was one of the only places I could find that could meet my loved one’s needs, but it was a lot further away from our family. They ended up as our second choice.

We were very satisfied with The Lodge at Wake Forest, but it became too unaffordable for us. We were happy, and our loved one was happy there. I liked the availability of the dining room at all times. You could go sit down for a meal at any time. They also had availability of a hairdresser and nail tech, which was convenient.

We did not have a good experience at The Lodge at Wake Forest. I felt that there were many safety hazards. They also went through several different general managers during our stay here and the food was not good.

It's a nice community, clean, and the residents are nice. The staff is friendly. The apartments are on the smaller size but adequate. The apartments each have their own private outdoor area. There are lots of stores around the area. There is even a pharmacy that delivers to the community.

my review of the lodge
I would highly recommend this community. There have been a couple of times we have visited that there have been some smells. The staff is friendly and is easy to work with. The room sizes are perfect and the food is good but they need some variety. They don't have any dietary meals for my mom who needs gluten-free.

great place for loved one
We chose this facility because it was close to where we were living so we were able to visit often. The room sizes were very spacious. It is a very open and friendly environment for your loved one. The staff are friendly and they provide a bus service a couple times a week to the store. I would recommend The Lodge at Wake Forest.

I am extremely happy with the Lodge. My father-in-law has been there for 6 years and I am in charge of his care but I live over 2 hours away. I have found them helpful with getting things taken care of long distance. If I call the are responsive. The services that the provide on location are extremely helpful.

The Lodge At Wake Forest
I wasn't happy with the housekeeping my mother received. I thought the staff was very welcoming and very helpful if anything needed doing. I thought the food was good and my mother always enjoyed the food. They do have a lot of activities available for the residents to participate in. Definitely a good value for the price. I liked the fact that in the building, they were able to take my mother to therapy when she needed it and the doctors are able to make house calls, which is very helpful.

The Perfect Place
My mom has been living at The Lodge of Wake Forest since April of 2018, and she loves it! At the age of 90, it's very important that she live in a safe, clean and friendly environment. She has all that and more: good-tasting meals, fun activities, transportation to her local doctor and lots of new friends. Thank you, A Place for Mom, for guiding us to the perfect place for our dear mom. We highly recommend your services. Since being thrifty is one of Mom's strong traits, we were thrilled that the cost of living at The Lodge was within her limited budget. Thanks, A Place for Mom, for being there when we needed you!

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Lodge at Wake Forest

The Lodge at Wake Forest offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Lodge at Wake Forest 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
