It is not easy to find a place that is a good fit for a loved one. Especially one that is fiercely independent. Mom and I went scouting for one about a year ago after numerous falls that made her realize she needed a place that treats her like family. Woodland is such a place. Because of Parkinson’s, she is not able to speak well but she is observant. She first moved into an independent apartment where she was able to have her own kitchen and washer and drier. If she needed anything maintenance wise, they would respond in a timely manner. Because of her limited speech, she would address the concerns to me and I would be an advocate for her. The staff is very responsive to me in such a positive manner. Just be consistent for what you need for your loved one and the staff will appreciate it. After about six months, it was apparent to the family and to mom that she needed a bit more care so with the help of an amazing care staff, mom moved into an assisted living apartment. I like the fact that there are levels of care and you pay accordingly. This is added to the rent already set. Gabriella, the director, communicates on a regular bases with me and mom of her needs. Her plan is looked over every 90 days (or sooner if need be) to see if it needs to be adjusted. I am pleased Mom is in Woodland. They have helped and assisted our family to make sure Mom is comfortable and taken care of. They will do whatever they can, you just need to ask. Mom had COVID and the staff made sure she was taken care of with food delivered to her door and a standby nurse if needed. There are activities one could do at Woodland and there are transportation on a regular bases to the grocery store. There are weekly outings to parks or festivals or fairs if one wishes to. The meals are ok and are constantly improving. Mom and I have voiced our opinions and they have been listening and shared our concerns with the chef and his staff. New and improved menus have been added but it is a work in progress. Overall, my independent, observant Mom is in good hands at Woodland.

I have lived here for just over three years. I hated leaving my home, but I realized I could no longer live alone. I feel that the staff do their very best to make this a "home" for us by taking care to do special things on holidays, always greeting us by name. This is especially nice for people like me who do not have family near. There are activities for us - card games which I love - knitting group, genealogy group, and a van/bus which takes us various places for entertainment. It is not perfect - none of the maybe 50 places I have lived in my life have been - but I am very comfortable living here; a friend of mine here said what she liked best is she felt safe. I do that, too.

We have been here for several months now, and are very happy. Met many nice people living here. The employees are really terrific and so helpful. Food is really good and lots of activities available. There has been a few changes in staff but everyone is great from maintenance, housekeeping, food service.
