Woodlands Retirement Community

I visited this facility because i was in nursing school. We assisted in providing basic nursing care. The staff in this facility were outstanding, very helpful to visitors, but more importantly to the residents of the facility. They strived most to provide classes, such as excercise and fun "game time" for the elderly. The amenities, in my opinion, were "top notch" this facility had it's own barber/beauty shop. i thought this particularly important, especially for the elderly ladies who love getting their hair fixed. In all honesty i could'nt speak 1 negative thing about this facility. All in all the Woodlands facility is one of the best in West Virginia, if not in the United States.

The staff seemed nice enough. The rooms were rather small but the facilities had a lot to offer. They had a place where she could get her hair done and they also had scheduled activities such as bingo. The food here seemed adequate, though she said some of it was not very good. They would not allow her to smoke, which was a good thing because she was sick. They would allow her to leave with family members whenever she liked. Overall it seemed ok, but there was an odor in the building. But I think this is true for most retirement homes.
