Resident & family reviews

Overall, much better experience for mom. We get regular text updates (BP/oxygen etc). In the larger commercial facility she was in, she often stayed in her room alone and in pajamas. Here, she is dressed and in the main living area every day and interacts with other residents. The meals are home cooked, not fancy but good and much better than cafeteria style meals. I visit 1-2 times a week and have met several other family members.

I could not be more pleased with Woodcrest Senior home— one of my wonderful neighbors had her husband there until he passed. She always talked so highly of the owner and staff. When it was time to place my mom- I contacted A Place For Mom and they send me here to tour. Instantly I was so pleased. I then contacted my neighbor and she said it would be a great place for my mom. She has Alzheimer’s- and I am unable to give her 24/7 care. All the staff are so pleasant and have great patience with my mom. Sometimes she is a spitfire!! Lol. She gets a daily shower- which is sometimes difficult to…

I could not be more pleased with Woodcrest Senior home— one of my wonderful neighbors had her husband there until he passed. She always talked so highly of the owner and staff. When it was time to place my mom- I contacted A Place For Mom and they send me here to tour. Instantly I was so pleased. I then contacted my neighbor and she said it would be a great place for my mom. She has Alzheimer’s- and I am unable to give her 24/7 care. All the staff are so pleasant and have great patience with my mom. Sometimes she is a spitfire!! Lol. She gets a daily shower- which is sometimes difficult to convince Alzheimer’s patients- she wears pj looking warm-ups every day. Which is what she has worn for years so this makes my mom so happy. They get three delicious meals and several snacks/treats daily. I am telling you homemade meals— fresh baked goodies and a variety of drinks. The residents watch TV together- sing songs and do fun activities daily. I highly recommend this home!!!

[name removed] is very timely with her responses. The staff is very kind, and caring. The surrounding community is your average neighborhood. Overall, I would recommend this community to other families.

It is an older facility but it is clean, and the friendliness of the staff and their care services are top notch. They have so much patience for all the residents. The meals and dining from what we have gathered are great. The value for cost for the most part is good,and our loved one is happy there.

They did not know I had a tour (although it had been set up by "A place for Mom". (The other facilities knew I was going to be there for tours). The lady who was there taking care of the residents answered the door in her bare feet. The patients/clients were all in the living room in night clothes in chairs. None of them looked very responsive. This is a residential house. The rooms are very small. The lady showing me around did not know the rates of the rooms for respite care. She took my number for Velma to call me. It has been two days and Velma has not called. There is no way I would place my mother here.

I'm very pleased with the service and the care. Frankly I think the caretakers are angels. Sometimes I don't know how they're able to take care of my loved one at the times when she's not the most pleasant. I feel that she gets much better care here than she would in another setting. The patient to caretaker ratio is much better. The house itself is very nice. It's like being at home rather than a hospital setting.

Woodcrest Home Owner, [name removed] is very kind and gracious and cares about her residents, however,I noticed a strong hygiene odor when I walked into the front door of home, while wearing mask. I discreetly removed part of my mask to test odor again without covering, and it was an even more stronger odor. I was also concerned with the window box A/C unit in the bedroom where my loved one would be assigned to sleep shared with Dementia patient, who does not watch TV in room at night. In addition, my loved one would need to walk thru 2 bedrooms to get to her bedroom.I was concerned she may disturb the dementia patients as it appeared all the residents were dementia patients. Overall I observed that this home environment and residential community would not be a good fit for my loved one. I will contact [name removed] to thank her for the tour and express that even though she has a good home and community, I have chosen another community to meet my loved one's needs.

Met with [name removed], toured and saw private room which was available. Sad view of wooden fence. Not a good fit for my Mom, and access to neighborhood is through IH 35 and Loop 410, which is busy constantly and much traffic.
