Woodbury Estates

My mother was at the Estates for 3 1/2 years. We had found it very difficult to find a memory care assisted living , and were grateful that the Estates accepted her.(She had previously been on campus at the Villa).

We found many of the staff to be exceptional caregivers and people of deep dedication to their work; Aye, Tess, Desiree, Maria, La, Jo, and many others. Courtney the director of nursing, Pastor Basil, and Margaret tried hard to work with our family through many ups and downs. Kathy and Chaz, two of the nurses, were very attentive to my mother, especially when she was dying.

No facility is perfect, and sometimes staffing was difficult, ie when staff was unable to work their shift with late notice given. Staff turnover at assisted livings can be considerable sometimes. We were very grateful at the times when staff would sometimes stay and work a double shift so that my mother had adequate and familiar care. Sometimes float staff had to be called.

The facility itself is bright and cared for. I was always an advocate for more fresh vegetables. Kitchen staff was often kind and attentive.

My mother was especially happy that there were multiple church services each week and easy access to the campus pastor. There is also a beautiful courtyard garden. I often observed a generous and joyful spirit between staff and residents. Staff treated my mother and our family with kindness and respect.

I will always be grateful to the Estates' staff who cared for my mother and worked with our family during my mother's last years.

Mom was a resident of the Estates for five years, and we feel that it was the best possible place for her. The facility is comfortable and inviting, and she received excellent care from attentive and caring staff. Mom had many opportunities to participate in appropriate activities; she especially enjoyed singing and fishing. Margaret, Tess, and Diane deserve special recognition for cheerfully taking care of the "small" things that greatly improved Mom's quality of life. I highly recommend the Estates to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones.

The kindest people in the world work there.
