Our Mission Statement
Retirement Living with Joy, Purpose and Wellbeing!
Our Philosophy
The philosophy of Billings Lodge Retirement Community involves the concept of a “continuum of care”. We are committed to the development of our programs and the home in general in order to meet the ever-changing needs of seniors.
Free Time
In combination with ongoing community and family support, our professionally designed leisure and social programs aim for optimum independence for each of our residents. We give our residents the opportunity to use their available time for constructive educational and enjoyable inter-generational activities. Family and friends are invited to join in any activity with their loved ones at any time.
Larger events are planned throughout the year and family participation is encouraged. Resident’s children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. are invited to join in and enjoy the activities as well.
Safe and Clean Home-Like Environment
In order to enhance the activities of daily living and allow residents to feel like they are in their home rather than in a hospital setting, Billings Lodge Retirement Community strives on providing a supportive environment that is safe and secure within clean, well maintained and comfortable buildings.
