Woodland Village was a very nice place and everyone seemed very professional. We were overall very impressed with the facility. The dining area was very nice and the rooms looked very adequate for their purpose. We were provided with lots of information about fees and charges associated with the level of care that was required, so we felt well-informed.

I found Woodland Village for my friend. She is not in there yet, but we're still working on going through the process. I found them to be really nice, and they basically met all the needs that I think she will require. I was very pleasantly surprised, it was very nice the way it was set up, and it looked a lot nicer than I thought it would. The staff members were very helpful and very accommodating. They were able to answer all the questions that I had. I found the facility to be very clean, and I was very impressed with the dining area. At this point, the dining area can't be used because they're not having them congregate in that area. They also have multiple activity rooms, and I found that impressive. There's also the opportunity for activities outside the facility. They're supposed to come out and do an evaluation on my friend, which will definitely determine what level of care she needs. We're shooting right now for assisted living, but they'll assess her needs.

I am extremely grateful to have found Woodland Village for my mother who moved into an assisted living apartment five months ago. The staff has been exceptional. Nursing staff are conscientious and observant. They call me if something seems out of the ordinary, which has been particularly helpful given my mother’s dementia. She doesn’t always let me know important things, and their attentiveness puts me at ease, especially during Covid restrictions when family can’t come inside. The front office is responsive, and facilities support has gone above-and-beyond, helping Mom hang artwork and set up her TV, etc. The dining staff puts out quality menus. Mom's put on needed weight and loves the variety. The apartment itself is very nicely designed with modern, higher-end cabinets, flooring and fixtures. It was tough getting Mom to transition, but when she moved in and saw all of her things in such a nice space, she cried and hugged me. She calls her space “nice and cozy.” The hallways and community spaces are nicely designed with beautiful artwork and furnishings. This sounds gushy, but I visited many places less well run and appointed that cost far more money. I live in Olympia, but I’m constantly grateful that I widened my search. I went from nail-biting to relief and confidence in the staff. I should also mention the activities director who runs creative programs even with social distancing guidelines and the hair stylist whom my Mom LOVES. The one negative has been turnover in the on-site director position. This hasn't had much impact on my mother's situation, but I hope that the incoming director supports the current staff in doing what they do well. It's a skilled and compassionate team. If you live outside of Chehalis, at least take a look. It’s a special place.

I like Woodland Village better than all the other nursing homes and assisted living place I've looked at. The rooms are a nice size, they're not too bad. It looked like a place I could live up until this virus happened. Their lunchroom is a nice big area, and there were people going in and out of it. There's no set time where you should eat, and I thought that's rather nice. The food was pretty good, I was rather surprised because I never had cucumbers on a sandwich before. I think I could actually live there. I asked about their activities and they have crafts with a group available, they also go on trips together on the bus. I think I would really enjoy that. And the food was really good.

Woodland Village (Village Concepts of Chehalis - Woodland Village) is very clean, friendly, has a lot of activities, and is affordable. The bath tub in the cottage they chose is able to accommodate my father's bathing needs as well as my mother's desire to have a tub. The staff is very friendly. The other things we liked is that there's a beauty shop and a lending library. My parents are in a very nice cottage and they get one free meal a day. If they were living in the apartments, they'd get three. It's very close to the doctor, who is right next door, and there's also a dentist very nearby. In the cottage, someone mows the lawn and tends plants, and there's housekeeping twice a week. They also have a bathing aide and a physical therapist that my dad needs. My mom says the food is good and my parents are much healthier since going there. They offer talks, church services, and exercise classes.
