Friends Village At Woodstown

Bald Eagle

I looked around and talked to others about independent senior living. And then I moved to Friends Village. We live in a one bedroom cottage with a den and bath and 1/2, a garage and a gas fireplace. We have a yard where my wife loves to garden and where someone else mows the grass! I like the many available activities (everything Bocce to guest lectures and weekly day trips to arts and crafts and excercise classes.) We get to decide what we want to do and participate in making decisions about how we live as a community. The dining service is manned by an energetic and friendly crew who will go out of their way to make dinner like eating out with good friends. In sum, we live an active life in a beautiful campus with great friends and neighbors that's located in a friendly little town convenient to the shore, Philadelphia and Wilmington. What else could I ask for?

I live in a Dorchester cottage, which means I have two bedrooms, two baths, an open living room, dining area and kitchen, a den, and a garage. Having lived in a three story farm house for 65 years, this was no easy transition, but certainly a wonderfully smooth one. My daughters often spend several nights with me, doing projects and enjoying each other. One daughter enjoys creating my flower beds, both of them help me with inside chores. The garage is a bonus, for careful storage, and a car that's ready to go. Beyond the housing bonuses, life at the Village has many great points: the kitchen turns out wonderful meals that we enjoy in the atmosphere of the dining room. Our PT women provide excellent exercises involving strength training, stretching and balance. The Residents Association and Activities Department work together on weekly movies, craft projects, and monthly trips. My life here is good!

I went to a luncheon at Friends Village at Woodstown. We did the assisted living and the independent living. The assisted living had more like private hospital rooms. The independent living apartments were absolutely beautiful. The one that I was in had an individual bedroom, a separate living room, fireplace, kitchen, an actual dining room, a garage, and a patio. It's like a home. The staff was excellent. She had lunch with us, and there was another couple at my table. It was just a very, very informative time. They had different speakers, including some people from The Village. It was just very informative. I haven't seen anything quite like that. The food was good, and everybody at the table agreed. I don't know if it was just for us that day or this is the regular menu. It was very good. It was a good luncheon.

We went to Friends Village at Woodstown, and it was very nice. It was expensive, but it was absolutely beautiful. Cleanliness was impeccable, and there's a very high level of individuality (you're able to individualize your rooms). The staff was very, very nice and very professional.

I visited a friend at Friends Village at Woodstown. It's very clean and nicely appointed. The dining room was beautiful. The staff seemed very friendly and nice. The rooms were pretty and they had little houses there, too, for the independent living. The food was very good. They had a chapel, a library, a very nice big dining room, and a few outside areas that were nice. They had apartments, and there's a building of apartments, too, for independent living aside from little houses. It's very nice. I know that they had singing activity because I heard them do it.

Friends Village At Woodstown is a very nice place, but it's a little too expensive for me. They have outings and the same activities as other places. I looked at the size and the price of their one-bedroom unit, and the memory care as well. Their dining area is nice, and they have an award-winning chef. Everybody is pleased with the meals. They provide two meals a day, you can either have breakfast and dinner or lunch and dinner. If I had the funds, I would be there now, that's how nice it was. The apartment is bigger than the one I'm living in. There's a $7,000 entrance fee and if you run out of funds while in assisted living, you would then go to Medicaid. They would provide the care you need while you're still in independent until there's an opening in assisted living. Everything was on-site, and there's a home health person, which is nice. If you needed 15 minutes of help, like just for getting in and out of the shower and help with your medicines, they would come in for a short amount of times. Of course you would have to pay for that. The staff was very friendly, including the people cleaning. The apartment that I saw was very nice for a one-bedroom. They had all the amenities like a library, a room where you could sit with company, and a room you can reserve if you want to have a family gathering for a meal and they brought the food in.
