The Alexis Lodge Difference

Since 1999, Alexis Lodge has delivered our non-institutional approach to memory care. Rather than the cold, austere appearance of typical care facility, Alexis Lodge operates in a residential home setting giving our residents the familiar surroundings of home. We offer a non-medical program of familiar activities tailored to the individual and our staff are non-uniformed support workers who are familiar with each resident’s history and personality.

The resident is included in the daily routines of the home as much as possible. For example, a resident who finds food preparation enjoyable and familiar, will be encouraged to participate in the kitchen, under safe supervision. There is quite a bit of flexibility in our daily schedule. If a resident needs to sleep a little longer in the morning, there will still be a fresh, piping hot breakfast waiting for them when they get up, as our residents are free to live life as they choose.

Safety and security are top priorities

Although Alexis Lodge is a non-medical home and not an institution, we never forget that our residents are cognitively impaired. Every reasonable precaution is taken to make Alexis Lodge as safe as possible.

If my loved one isn’t physically ill, why can’t I find him/her a home-like place to live?
You can!

Alexis Lodge is based on a non-medical model. It’s a home-like setting with home-like furnishings. Alexis Lodge is not an institution, and does not have the atmosphere of an institution. The residents can decorate their bedrooms with familiar furnishings, pictures and favourite mementos. We always remember that Alexis Lodge is the residents’ home and a place where our residents are loved and treated with dignity. Home is also a place to be shared with family and friends through special dinners, outings, or just everyday visitors.

My loved one doesn’t speak English. Will this be a problem?
No, it will not be a problem

There are several residents of Alexis Lodge whose native language is not English. However, the spoken work is not the only way to communicate. Patient, loving encouragement can convey a message quite clearly. Our talented staff members come from a variety of backgrounds, and are fluent in several languages.
