Woodlands Assisted Living Mc Calla, AL

Woodlands Assisted Living was older, but family-owned. The nursing facility section was large. Down the hill from that, they have a place for assisted living. We had called ahead of time, but the lady who was going to show it to us wasn't there, so a gentleman talked to us for a little while about my cousin's needs. The assisted living was locked up. We had to buzz for someone to come and let us in. There's a fence around it, so the people that live there can't go out unless they have somebody with them. They have activities there. They have their own activity director who does things with them. She was very friendly and seemed to be very happy to be there. She knew the people who lived there very well. They had a calendar that showed what their activities were. I'm pretty sure that they do a lot of things with them. All the people who worked there were friendly and seemed to be happy to be there. However, we were handed off several times to different people. There were questions that they didn't know how to answer because they were not the people that normally show the place to other people.

My mother was at The Woodlands. We chose this one because it was very neat and clean, but it wasn’t huge. My mother was very pleased with her stay. If she would have to go back, I would put her there again. She was very pleased with the staff. They were very helpful and took care of her. She was very impressed with the food service, also. She participated in several activities, like bingo, card games, and some kind of auction. She also went out on a trip to Walmart and attended a couple of church services.

The staff at the Woodlands is great. I have nothing but praise to say about them. They have taken care of my Father who died a few years ago and my 101 year old aunt who is a resident now. Paula Stringfellow
