We went to see Duluth Heights Lodge Senior Living, it all seemed very nice. The community seemed nice, the units, and apartments, all seemed a decent shape, and as far as I could tell, everything looked good. The staff who gave the tour was Kelly, she was very nice, very pleasant, and very informative. The rooms were all nice and well-kept, they all seemed good-looking. Just from peering into all the people in the dining area, it looked like it was a nice place. We've seen some of the amenities and it looks like they had a fair amount of activities scheduled. We saw the physical fitness area and the hairdresser area, and it all looks good to me.

My dad has moved into Duluth Heights Lodge Senior Living. He has his own apartment with living room, bedroom, and kitchenette. There is no stove because they don't want him cooking. I have tried their food. They have a chef instead of a cook, and the food is very good. They do card games. They do movies there, and they have a theater room. He hasn't participated into anything yet. They have nice dining rooms. There is a room that has a fireplace, and you can go sit and visit with people. They have a physical therapy facility and a small store there. They have a happy hour every Thursday. We have been very happy with the staff. The facility is very bright, open, and clean. They worked with us. My dad ended up going there a week later than expected, and they were willing to work with us on finances.

My tour at Duluth Heights Lodge Senior Living was very nice. We were met at the door by John and he took us through the building and into the assisted living area. He's very knowledgeable. It's a very nice place and very clean. The residents all said hello and smiled as well as the staff. They were all very friendly and nice. We walked to the kitchen and the chef and the worker there all smiled and said hello and John told us that the food was very good. They stepped things up. It wasn't good for a while, but they got this new chef and things are much better. We went to the assisted living area for people to sit and have coffee any time of day if they'd like or meet to read or to play games or whatever. The nurses' station is right there by the assisted living area, and there's full-time nursing there. We saw the rooms. We saw one room that was a studio and that was one big room with a large bath and toilet area. We also saw another room, which was a two-room, one room for living room and one room for a bedroom and then the bathroom. They're very nice, spacious rooms and very clean. We went to the exercise area where there's equipment that the residents can use and also they have classes, so some of the residents come for exercise time. We went upstairs where there's a big community room that's used for socials and for people that come in and play music for them. It's also used for private parties. It's very nice, spacious and well lit. The nice thing is that all rooms have windows out towards the woods. The building is surrounded by woods, so it's a pleasant place to be. I have been there several times before to visit people. We have friends that are living there now and have been there for socials and other events and thought it was very, very nice. John was very pleasant, very helpful, and answered any questions we had. It was my sister, my daughter, and myself that went on the tour and any questions we had, he was very knowledgeable and answered the questions completely. It was a very comfortable tour. We felt very comfortable with John.
