The Lodge at Valley Ridge Reviews

Exercise and community

Activities offered in our facility cater to every type of person living here, and everyone can find themselves doing something purposeful during the day. I believe that the life enrichment department and the activities that they offer really makes a difference in the well-being of the residents and is what makes this place into a fun and enjoyable place to live. I have lived here for almost 10 years, and it is the staying active and the well-cooked meals by the kitchen that keeps me recommending this place to my old friends and colleagues.
There [really] is something about in-person [exercise] classes that makes a difference to the effectiveness. Exercising, of course, keeps me mobile and lets me enjoy my walks more without any aches and pains, but the part that keeps me going to, and recommending the classes is the social aspect. I have met people in this class that are motivated to keep their aging as graceful as possible, as well I have made friends who are willing to go on walks with me and keep my company because it can get lonely walking by yourself. Also, the people participating in the exercise classes are also the people who attend all other activities provided by The Lodge. This creates a great community and friendship among all the attending residents.
