Our families experience

I would give a 5 for all except the meals and dining services and that is because of the limited healthy options. However, they have friendly staff, the facility is very clean and well maintained. Just need less pork and more grilled options!

Welcoming facility

We chose Sable Lodge because All the things that were included in the monthly payment, (the facilities: exercise room, theater, billiards room, lounge, dining hall, etc.) and the welcoming friendly encounters with staff and residents. Everyone greeted everyone else and made newcomers feel welcomed. Staff is VERY friendly and helpful: most caring and accommodating.

Warm, comfortable with all the amenities

My parents moved in three months ago and are very happy with the staff, the food, the apartment, the activities and all the amenities. No complaints! They have used physical therapy on-site and love bingo, cards and board games with the other residents. I enjoy knowing that they have three square meals a day and caring staff around in case they need them.
