My mom is a resident of Woodland Hill. We absolutely love it. It's clean and new. The staff is amazing, and the facility itself is full of life. They have lots of social activities going on and outings planned for the residents. They provide transport to local grocery stores or if they want to go to the Y. They offer weekly features twice a week. They show movies with a nice big popcorn thing in there. They have a Caribou Bistro right in the building, so people can come down and walk from there. They have a really cute shop. It has fireplaces scattered throughout the building. We love it there, but my mom is at the top level of service. She just had a heart attack and may need to have more care. They have a nurse there; but they said that with the amount of care she may need (if it's becoming more), she needs to have skilled care around the clock. Her room is beautiful. She's got a nice with a spacious kitchen and living room. You can look out and see a wooded patio, firepit, and walking path in the back. If you look to the front, you can see activity like who's coming in and all that kind of stuff. Then she's got a nice, big, bedroom, large windows, and bathroom with a walk-in shower. It's great. Her room is nice. The food is awesome. The dining area is excellent. It's huge. Everybody eats into one big dining room, so you get to see life and people; nobody's split up. They have lots of activities. They have social groups. They have an art room, where you can go to paint and draw. They have arts and crafts. They have a big activity room separate from the dining room, where they bake and do crafts. They'll do board games. They have a really organized schedule of days of the week with activities that they offer. Plus, the staff goes around and encourages people to come to them. They don't just post it; they encourage them to come. The staff there, especially Kathy, is just wonderful. When my mom came home from the hospital, she cried because she said she was so glad she could come home. It's home to her. She loves it. They have a salon and the wellness room with exercise equipment. They have an activity room with a full-sized kitchen for a large group, and they do that on each floor. There are activity rooms on each floor to do baking, cooking, crafts, and games. They have the large theater with popcorn. There's the gift shop that was really cute. They keep it seasonal and fun. Everybody likes to shop there when they're done eating. They have large, cold set fireplace sitting areas throughout the building. They have a church service area, where they have weekly rosary. They do weekly rosary and masses or services from different denominations are held there. They have a computer room. It's awesome. Their back patio has a pond with a fountain and a little bridge and a gazebo to sit outside with lots of umbrella tables. You can go sit outside and eat. There's a fire pit, a wooded area back there, and a walking path completely around the whole facility. It's right next door to the hospital, so location is ideal. The value for money is worth it.

My dad is at Woodland Hill and he's very happy there. The people, the management, and the staff are wonderful to work with. It is a beautiful facility. They have wellness classes, card games, board games, and that type of thing. They have a movie theater, they have musical groups come in and entertain, and they do monthly barbecues and special seasonal things. Dad has not done a whole lot at this point yet, but they have a pretty full weekly schedule of things that he can attend. He is fairly there, and it has only been a month, so we have a lot to learn. But so far, so good. I haven't found anybody that was not a 10. The staffing is wonderful. I've tasted a couple of things and it was good. Dad's happy with the food. But of course, we all would like things to be cheaper.

My dad stayed at Woodland Hill. It was a beautiful and caring facility, however, they did nothing for my dad for the amount of money they were paid. It was extremely expensive, with his rent being $3,800 a month for a 1-bedroom apartment. His care level was $350 just to walk into the building, and that's with no assistance at all. My mom moved in and her second occupancy was $650 a month, and then she paid a health care package of $350 but she was completely independent. We were paying over $5,000 a month for no assistance at all. They got two meals a day which was all they got. They got their blood pressure taken once a week, but my mom and dad can take their own blood pressure. Mom and Dad get their weight taken, but they can step on a scale and read the scale themselves. They get no assistance at all. It was an extra $750 to get an escort to my dad's meals twice a day, so we had to pay an extra thousand dollars a month to get any kind of assistance to help Dad. Everything is a la carte. The staff was fine, very confidential, and great. I needed a paper signed saying my dad lived there and they signed it, but it cost me $25. They have church services, Bingo, football games, and movies in the movie theater with free popcorn. It's a wonderful facility if you're able to do those things, but my dad is diagnosed with dementia and Mom couldn't leave him ever. I was just really disappointed. They have high-end quality food which is very rich. It was good food, but my parents didn't know what they were eating half the time.

My mom has been at Woodland Hill since it opened in the memory/specialty care unit. She moved there from a nursing home and I can't believe how it has changed her life. She has major dementia issues and the staff are so patient and loving with Mom. I have shown up there at various times and even when Mom is being demanding and unreasonable they are really good with her. They really train their staff to work with people like my mom and the place is absolutely beautiful. Mom is in the highest level of care, has her own lovely studio apartment, and it costs the same as her tiny bedroom with a shared bathroom in the nursing home. They have great activities and the place is just quiet and calming. I highly recommend Woodland Hill.
