Woodlands Village

Woodlands Village is very homey and welcoming. The outdoor space is nice, and it seems like a good value for the price. The staff who gave me the tour was very friendly, very helpful, and very transparent. They seemed to know the answers to the questions that we needed. They're very responsive to anything that we asked. The rooms were a nice size. They all had their individual outside space, which was nice. They may not be as high-end, but they were clean and well laid out. We looked at the one-bedrooms. They have a library, a chapel space, a game room, and an activity or art space. They had quite a few different meeting places for the residents.

Woodlands Village is a very friendly and clean place. The lady was very attentive and answered the questions I had. Overall, I like it very much. I didn't try the food but it looked really good. The apartment model we've looked at was nice; I would live there. They come in twice a week for cleaning. They have a little store and they have a crafts room where they do crafts, bingo, and music.

I loved the setting of Woodlands Village. It was in a nice and beautiful area. I liked everything about it; except that my ex-husband wants a swimming pool, and they don't have one. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and very informative. The rooms were also terrific.

We went to Woodlands Village, and I liked it. The problem that I had was that it was older. It was a bit musty smelling because a lot of it is not concrete slab, and it's a floating floor. I did like the fact that there was little screened-in lanai for each room, which my mother would have loved. She was also very finicky about cleanliness and smells, and so that's kind of why I eliminated that place. Other than that, it was great. The people were wonderful, and it was very nice. We met a lot of people on a tour that lived there that were very happy. The rooms were great. The bedrooms were really nice. They had a really nice size room. Plus they had a little wall unit that was separated from a little kitchenette area, which was really nice. I loved the rooms there. That was a real plus, it was just the age of the building. The dining area was very nice. They had what they call menu dining, where you would go in and be seated. Then you would pick from a menu and order what you wanted (rather than having one main meal with ala carte), so that was a little bit different. It was also a nice feature. The staff was very nice.

The employees at Woodlands Village were very nice to me. I asked questions, and they gave me straightforward answers. The bedrooms were nice, whether it was the single room or the twin rooms. They were all right, and they were clean. The dining area was very beautiful. The place was beautiful overall. I wasn't able to stay for a meal, but I was able to see them preparing the meals. Everything was done professionally and courteously. I was able to get on one of their vehicles to go around, and the vehicle itself was very good. It was very helpful in being able to get around. They showed me some of the places that they can bring people to. It was beautiful. The only thing I think they need to do is figure out a way to bring the price down a little bit.

I did an in-person tour at Woodlands Village in Bradenton and it was really good. Everybody was very friendly and very nice. The staff was very congenial, very knowledgeable, and excellent. I thought the facility was good, they did a good job. The apartments seemed very clean. The amenities are basically what's included in the apartments like the 3 meals a day, laundry, housekeeping, and that type of thing.

Woodlands Village looked fine, and it would probably fit my needs quite well. The staff seemed very friendly and willing to help however they could. The rooms seemed adequate for my needs. Everything I asked was completely satisfactory as far as the answers were concerned. The facility seemed very clean. It should be easy to get around, and it seemed like it was quiet enough. I wouldn't have any problem sleeping.

Woodlands Village has been a very good place with Covid-19. The staff has been wonderful keeping everyone safe. The servers have brought us our meals three times a day. They keep us active and happy..I would like to Thank Them All !!!

Patty

Woodlands Village is great. We like that my mother's room has its own bathroom. They have a lot of activities and amenities. They can go into the kitchen area and get a snack if they want to. There's always a lot going on. The food is really good. I've eaten with her a couple of times, and she's enjoying it. Everybody's very friendly. The staff is more than willing to help her with anything, and they bent over backwards just to be helpful.

Cherie

Woodlands Village was very good and very homey. We liked it. It's like living in a summer camp with woods all over. It was older, but it was nice. The staff who showed us around was very nice. The people there all had smiles on their faces. They're happy. My problem was it's very woody and damp, and I have a severe allergy, so that might be a problem for me. The facility was very comfortable and the activity room and exercise room were very nice.

Michelle

Woodlands Village is very good. My mom can smoke in her room. My mom says the food is average. It's an older facility, but she seems to be happy there.

Carol

Woodlands Village was very nice and a fairly new retirement center. We even spoke with some of the people that live there and it was all positive. They said they enjoyed living there, and said it was like a family place. You don't feel like you're stuck in a nursing home. They're nice, friendly, and cheerful, and the people that live there mingle with the people that work there. They have movies and Bingo, and they have an area where they have card games too. We enjoyed this place a lot. You live on your own, but they furnish you with your meals and if you need help with your medications, they do that too. Everyone we saw seemed to be very happy.

Byron

The dining area at Woodlands Village was really nice. The lady who showed me around gave me a good lunch. She was a very nice lady. The rooms that I saw were very nice. The one that I liked the most was the outside unit with a door that opened right outside with a lawn where I could let my dog out.

Woodlands Village had a very welcoming feeling when you were there. They're very friendly and accommodating. Also there was quite an extensive activity list. We did see the facility, and we saw what's on the menu. They had two plates made of what was going to be served that day, so you could see what was going to be served in the presentation. They offered everything we were needing and more as far as coming once a week and cleaning and doing linens. Also there were quite a few laundry facilities onsite for the residents. They showed us a safety necklace that the residents will be given when they moved in. Of all the places that we have visited, I found Woodlands Village to be the most friendly and welcoming of all them. My mom is probably going to moving in within the next 2 months.

Woodlands Village was one of my top choices. The rooms were absolutely wonderful, and the apartments were fabulous. The residents were happy, the whole place was beautiful, and they had entertainment for their residents. Where we came in, there was a very large area where they gather, and one of the residents was playing the piano. There was a reading room, a library area, and a movie room. It looked like a very pleasant place. The outside was very natural, and the residents could comfortably go out.

My mother stayed for three nights at the Woodlands. The people were more than nice; I have nothing but good things to say about them. However, they don't accept Medicaid. She was in a one-bedroom, repainted apartment with all brand-new appliances. They had a porch and outside area. They invited us for lunch, and the food was very good. The dining room was very pretty, too.

Frances F.

Woodlands Village is set up more like an apartment than a hospital room, and it looked more independent than anything else. The people were very nice and accommodating. It smells really good, so the food is probably really good. It seems like they had a lot of activities going on like Bingo. They were taking reservations for family for the holiday coming up to make sure that they have a place, and it seemed really nice.

Woodlands is all on one floor, and you can just stay in your room or go up to the lobby. There's always somebody up there you can talk to. It's clean, but the food is repeated so much. There were some people that loved it here.

Visitor730641

Woodlands Village was okay. It looked nice and clean, but it was kind of dark and college dorm-like. It was very closed in for me. They had a room where they played games. There was also a movie room and a dining area. The residents looked fine and happy. The dining area looked fine to me.

Brad050180

My uncle is at Woodlands Village, and he's comfortable. The people are very nice and accommodating. The rooms are very clean and freshly-painted; I would live in one. The food is nutritious, well-balanced, and very tasty. They do activities. The facility has beautiful surroundings.

William037116

Woodlands Village was a very nice place. The rooms were really nice, large, and comfortable. The dining area was very open and comfortable. It's almost like a family restaurant. It was very light, airy, and comfortable.

Franksv052521

Although within 2 months we found Dad could not live independently. The staff was wonderful, Dad had a lot of resistance felt he should live with me. Everyone felt my pain and worked real hard on helping Dad transistion. Dad is now in skilled nursing due to many setbacks with his health. But I will never forget the care and help the staff provided us.

LindaHQHVZ

We have already booked Woodlands Village. They were very helpful and friendly and made my relative feel very welcome. He knows two gentleman there, and they found a room that's very close to the dining hall and the barber. Eveything is moving along nicely, and we're happy for the choice we've made. They have a dining room. The rooms are a nice size, and my relative is very pleased.

Diane122086950

My father-in-law is in Woodlands Village. The staff took care of my needs the day I was there. They're very good and pay attention. The rooms are fine and very clean. Their food is OK. He likes it because it doesn't have elevators and chose it because it's all on one floor.

A Fellow Reviewer120088250

My mom is at Woodlands Village. She is in is a studio apartment. She is in the assisted living area, and it is a very nice facility. They have their own chef. The dining room is very attractive. The food is very good. The help just bends over backwards to do whatever you need. We are very happy with Woodlands Village, and she has been very happy there. She has been there a month. They have bingo and Wii bowling. They have musicians who come in, and she has gone to watch those. They have a talent show. They also transport residents to doctor’s appointments and various stores on certain days. The staff is very friendly.

The people in Woodlands were very helpful and very friendly. They were having a get together for a birthday party when we came in. I had lunch there, and the person who joined me was very happy and very informative. The setting was very nice. They had a lot of activities going on, they lacked some of the things that I thought was important, but because of the overall friendliness and atmosphere, I would have overlooked any of that. The place was a little older, the rooms were larger than I expected, and there was storage inside the rooms, like a little attic area. There was a pond in the front with wild life, and I enjoyed that. It seemed very secure.

Karen113553850

I like Woodlands Village. It was really nice. The thing I like about Woodlands Village is that it is not an apartment building style community. It is one-story, so you're not living in an apartment style. They have a little pond in the front yard and you can go and sit on a bench and feed the duck. There are a lot of greeneries, trees and plants. They have little independent screened-in porches. You can plant your own plants and you can decorate the yard if you need to. I like that about it. That's what's attractive.

Susan106626850

I would say that maybe from the outside of Woodlands, it might not look as attractive as the other facility I went to, but the apartments were a little larger. Also, everything was on one level, so it was easy for the residents to get around. They did not have to take an elevator. They had a lot of activities as well. Their dining was pretty much at a set time. The staff was very nice, open, and informative. I understand why they might not be able to do this, but I would say that I would like to have the dining a little less regimented.

Karen102065150

We picked Woodlands Village, and my father moved in a month ago. My sister-in-law was looking for a facility for my mother-in-law, and she went through about 10 of them. I asked her what the best three were, then I took my dad, and we liked this one the best. The staff is awesome. The food is extremely grand, but their meals are very healthy and tasty; it was the best part of it. The rooms are beautiful although older; there are three different rooms you can pick from, and we just picked a single apartment with one bedroom and one bathroom. The dining area is well lit and very nice. They have so many activities like going on trips and bingos. I am really impressed with the people and the staff as they are super with everyone.

I was able to visit a friend living at Woodlands Village, and during all my visits the facility smelled good. That is a big thing. I also saw their dining room, and I didn’t see they were assigned seating. The residents can sit and eat with who they want to eat with. I wanted my mother-in-law to go to this place.

Barbara92475250

Woodlands was a little older, but the people really cared and the residents came to greet us and hoped that we picked them. I was impressed by them. That was my second choice. I liked the independent suite. The wing that needed more care, the memory care, was clean but were older, and they didn’t look as good. Their calendar was super full of activities.

We stayed at Woodlands, but with the type of care my wife needed, we were only able to stay for about two months. It was a very good experience; they were very friendly, but they could not take care of my wife's nursing needs. They were only allowed to do so much in the nursing care, so we could not stay there and we had to go back to the nursing home. We had a two-bedroom apartment with a living room, a kitchen area, and two baths. It was nice, clean, and spacious. We had our choice of food, and most of the time we would eat in the dining room. The food was very good. They had a lot of games, tours, and what-have-you for those who were mobile. My wife was in a wheelchair, so we didn't participate too much.

Caring4742

Woodlands Village was good. It is an older facility. It is nice; however, I think the other facility is more upscale than this one. Their rooms were very nice. Food and activities were good there; however, their activities were not as diverse. Overall, Woodlands Village just didn't suit us. It might be suitable for other people, but it just wasn't suitable for us.

Gail14

We visited Woodlands and it was very nice and clean place. They have a lot of things going on. They offer social activities like games. They have a beauty shop there. They provide three meals a day. They offer services for taking you to the doctor or to the grocery store or go to shopping. It also had the opportunity for long term care. We were very impressed with the facility. If were to decide on a place, it's probably this place.

Jean22

We chose Woodlands Village for my parents because they have beautiful rooms and it's very spacious. They also got lot of activities. I like the people who worked there. I would absolutely recommend this place.
