March 13th, 2025 Updated My Grandma just arrived at this place. The staff are very friendly. The menu looks really good as well. I saw people participating in activities, and they looked like they were enjoying it. The place is very tidy and clean, and there is plenty of seating and space to walk around. I look forward to visiting my grandma and talking with the friendly staff. April 10th, 2025 My Grandma loves it at Buchanan Lodge. She says everyone there is friendly and kind. They take good care of her, and she really enjoys the activities, especially Bingo. The staff are also very friendly to the visitors. I take my Grandma out for food and sometimes around the park at least once a week, and the staff greet me with a smile. The staff talk to my Grandma and are very engaging. My Grandma waves at the residents and talks to them as well.
