Woodpark

We recently had to move a family member out of an assisted living facility earlier this year due to a changeover in staff and ownership and decline in skilled caretakers, despite the history we had with them. We settled on Woodpark despite not living in the city, however the location is easy to get to. We liked that there the place had large public areas, a nice garden and decent sized rooms that were well light and clean. The staff ratio is much better with personalized care compared to the previous location. We have been settling in for about three weeks and are satisfied with the overall care and quality from the staff.

My sister placed my dad is in AgeSong (Woodpark). I would not have chosen that place for him. It's OK, but he's not getting memory care and physical therapy every day. There are just a lot of things that's lacking, but it is what it is. I am not really pleased with the situation.

I liked Agesong Wood Park. I liked the area where it was. It was right out the freeway. It was clean. The staff was friendly. They had a big area upfront where they could socialize. They had other activities as well. However, their price range was a bit high. She explained to me something what they did there and where I could get help. They served three meals a day with snacks. I thought they have two rooms and single rooms. I thought everybody was patient to some of the residents that were there because there were some that were kind of uneasy and wanted to live and go home.

AgeSong WoodPark is awesome, the people are really nice, and it’s really clean. The rooms have a bed and a dresser, and they were cleaned every day. The dining area is like a restaurant, and my dad likes the meals. They have movies, several groups, and church on Sundays. People come to play the piano.

Many of the details that caring.com lists for Woodpark are not true. Residents don't have cable tv in their rooms. The rates are much higher, etc. The staff/resident ratio is very high. I have visited my mom and found that there were 5-6 staff for a resident population of near 60. Almost all of my mother's belongings and clothes have been stolen from her during her stay at Woodpark. Repeated questioning and complaints on my part have had no affect in either restoring her possessions or slowing the flow of her goods out the door. If I bring my mom a box of tissues - with her name written on it in Sharpie - it's gone the next day. My mom has fallen numerous times at this facility. Sometimes they transport her and call me, sometimes they don't. We recently started Hospice and the staff at Woodpark have needed training from me and the Hospice team to understand how they are expected to interface. I would love to find my mom another place to live but there's very little out there that is even remotely affordable.

My husband is at AgeSong Woodpark. I like the facility because it's all one floor. The rooms are spread along short corridors. They did not rush me to make a decision. I also like that they have shared rooms for the men as well as the women. The food is nutritious, adequate, and on time. They have arts, music, and poetry. They have children choirs that visit regularly. The have multiple memory games and exercises.
