Pricing at Derian Lodge Senior Living

Sinceri Senior Living, who runs Derian Lodge Senior Living, states a starting figure of $3,200 a month on the community's own page. The same figure is on the community's own independent living page, labeled independent living, and the operator says the price depends on which apartment you take and what level of care you need. One request through Get Pricing gets you the rate for the apartment your parent would actually take, which is the only number that tells you whether this works. The page also carries a banner pointing at exclusive specials without saying what they are, so ask what is currently on offer and what it applies to.

Apartments at Derian Lodge Senior Living

Nine layouts are shown. There is one one-bedroom, six two-bedrooms and two three-bedrooms. The captions are raw file names and nothing on the page says what the codes in them mean, so ask for the dimensions and ask which are actually free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about care, costs and life at Derian Lodge Senior Living

How much does Derian Lodge Senior Living cost per month?

Sinceri Senior Living, who runs Derian Lodge Senior Living, states a starting figure of $3,200 a month on the community's own page. The community's own independent living page states the same figure for independent living, and the operator says the price moves with the apartment available and the level of care needed.

What is not included in Derian Lodge Senior Living's monthly fee?

The operator does not itemize it. What Sinceri does state is the rule the figure follows at Derian Lodge Senior Living: the starting price is based on apartment availability and level of care, so both of those move the number. Across its communities it describes independent living as meals, activities, outings, housekeeping, laundry and a choice of apartment styles, and names no community fee or move-in fee on its community or independent living pages. Ask for the rent, the care charge and any one-time fee as three separate numbers.

What floor plans does Derian Lodge Senior Living have?

Does Derian Lodge Senior Living have three-bedroom apartments?

Yes, two of them, and they are worth knowing about because the operator attaches no rate to either. Derian Lodge Senior Living shows them alongside six two-bedroom layouts and a single one-bedroom. The operator states no separate rate for one, so ask what a three-bedroom costs against the $3,200 starting figure, because the gap is the whole decision.

What do residents say about Derian Lodge Senior Living?

The consistent theme is the activities calendar and how long people stay. One family says their parents have lived at Derian Lodge Senior Living about four years and take part in the events; another describes several years there before a parent died and credits the staff; a third names the activities and says the community gets out into Aberdeen.

What is there to do at Derian Lodge Senior Living?

The operator names chef-prepared dining and enriching activities at Derian Lodge Senior Living, and describes the community around what it calls the welcoming spirit of small-town Midwestern living. Sinceri runs what it calls Emerge programming for independent living and, on its other independent living pages, describes it as creating opportunities for friendship, lifelong learning, wellness, volunteerism and personal growth. The operator's pages describe the program in general terms rather than as a weekly schedule, so ask to see the current month's calendar.

How does Derian Lodge Senior Living compare with Derian Place?

They are one block apart on the same street in Aberdeen, under the same operator, and they do different jobs. Derian Lodge Senior Living is the independent living building and starts at $3,200 a month. Derian Place is the assisted living one and starts at $5,215. Each figure is the one its own care-level page states, and the two buildings do not start from the same apartment: the Lodge has no studio at all while Derian Place does, so the gap is not a care charge. The useful question on a visit is which building your parent needs now, and what a move between them would involve.
