Woodside Village

Woodside was a very large facility and it offered different levels of care. I just did not like it because it smelled of urine. The lobby was all right but it was really busy when I toured the place. Also I didn't get the chance to check out any rooms.

We visited Woodside Village and it seemed nice and decent. The people treated us respectfully and they were nice. In addition to the amenities, the place has a good setup that's more like an apartment. It was also clean and pretty homey.

The thing that me and my wife liked about woodside village was the condo like setting and the fact that it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city,When we talked to some of the residents they had good things to say about the place.Talking to the staff we found out that some of them were really really good, very caring and treated the residents like family, they knew about the residents and their families, what impresed me the most was the fact that as we were trying to assess them in a way it felt like they were trying to for the lack of a better term judge us as to what we want or were looking for.Bedford hospltal was right up the street, and convenient shopping and paks were around the corner.

I wasnt very pleased at all with the staff who didnt seem to care very much for the residents. They would allow my grandfather to become very messy (no shaving face, hair growing wild, not groomed at all). Then when I inquired about this I was given an attitude. It lead me to not trust the staff and management here. The rooms are ok, pretty bland, but ok. There is a bed and a chair in each room. I found it rather depressing. The place looks nice on the outside, seems clean and the price isnt too much but the staff seem to just not care. The seniors living here seemed friendly, they all smiled and waved but didnt talk very much. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. We pulled my grandfather out of here and found him a much better assisted living facility. Granted a little farther away but worth it.

My family has been very satisfied with the service offered at Woodside. My grandmother is happy and seems to well taken care of. They have financial counselors who work with the various government programs to facilitate reimbursements and control costs.Woodside has a lot of activities for residents but my grandmother was ill so I never got a first hand review of the programs.
