Did You Know?

Visitors often comment that our campus is larger than they expected and that they were not aware of the independent living Garden Apartments that surround our rose garden behind the Lodge’s main building.

The Garden Apartments offer the best in independent retirement living. The two bedroom, 1 ½ bath units are 1200 square feet and are rented on a month-to-month basis.

The monthly rental fee includes basic cable, emergency call system, one covered parking space, water and sewer and the use of all common areas. One meal per day in our award-winning dining room is also included.

Portrait of a Volunteer

Lodge volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, a wide spectrum of ages, and provide our residents with a vast array of services. The one thing they have in common is that they enjoy helping others and are willing to share their time and talents.

Take Jennifer Lueck for example. Jennifer is a National Customer Communication Supervisor for Pulte Homes and is based in Surprise. During the work week she supervises a team of 14 people who create and develop marketing campaigns for the Del Webb, Pulte, and DiVosta brands. During her free time, though, Jennifer likes to garden.

And gardening is the talent she shares with Sun Valley Lodge for a few hours every month. She is helping us plant and maintain the flowers and shrubs that surround our apartments and keep our campus bright and cheerful. Jennifer calls the time she spends at the Lodge a “terrific opportunity. It is great to get to know residents and connect with so many people from different backgrounds.”

If you have a talent you would like to share, please give us a call.
