My mom is now a resident of The Woodhaven Retirement Community. The place is very clean, although they need more help with the nursing or help staff. The food is excellent and they have great activities, it's just nice. My mom doesn't do them, but they have bingo, movie nights, they do arts and crafts, and plenty more. The staff would depend on which one. There are several that are very, very good and very sweet, you can tell that they care, and then there might be one that's not doing what she should be doing, or maybe the personality is just different. They have their own dining that they could do, and on Mondays, through Fridays, they have a bistro where you could get things like chicken nuggets and small food. The place is in a very nice area, so it's wooded, and there are deers that come up to my mom's window, there are animals there like birds and squirrels. So the older folks enjoy that.

My wife has moved into Woodhaven Retirement Community. She had been going into the daycare they have for seniors during the day, so she was already familiar with them. They have all kinds of programs. She has dementia, and they have a dementia program there. They seem to have caring people. They have hair care folks that do hair, nails, and all that stuff. They also have doctors and nurses on staff. Each group of people have their own dining room for different levels. The dementia people don't eat with the daycare people. They all have their own special dining room. The food looked like regular food. I think they are flawed on changing her clothes and all that. Some of the staff really care and some of them don't. One of the things that attracted me to choose them is that there is no smell or odor. They do a lot of things (if they can get them to participate), like playing games and exercise. They have a lot of walking areas, where you could do walking and stuff like that. All of these places are expensive.

My dad moved into Woodhaven Retirement Community. So far, things are working out very well. The community itself is lovely. The staff members are wonderful, well-trained, happy in their jobs, kind, caring, and patient with the residents. I'm just very impressed. The dining area was very lovely. They have regular dishes, and their food is brought to them. They ensure that the residents like what they're eating and that the food smells great. My dad's room is very nice. He's got a lovely view of a courtyard. He has a private room with a private bath, and it's just the right size. They have group activities, and even if the resident doesn't participate in the activities, they encourage them to be there and be with the other people. My father has dementia and doesn't take part in much, but he seems to enjoy being with the other residents.

My husband is having day (memory) care at Woodhaven Retirement Community. He attends on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. They're great so far, now that he's used to it. They have great staff. He's very antisocial, but they have him participate in arts. He's talking with the residents there. He's adjusting. They have arts, breakfast, lunch, dinner, a town hall where they do group activities and walk outside, and other outdoor activities. The food is great. I ask him how are the meals, he said, "They feed me too much." For breakfast, they have coffee, orange juice, cereals, eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, and things like that. They have great meals. They provide charts for the month of activities and the meals.

Woodhaven Retirement Community was beautiful. It was gorgeous and the rooms were spotless. We checked out the memory care and we liked that fact that they are overstaffed (based on state minimum). On our tour, all the staff were working with residents. They weren't sitting on their cell phones and ignoring people like the other two facilities did. So, we think that my father is going to get much better care there. The staff was friendly and caring. Everything in the facility was updated and clean.

My mother is at Woodhaven in Livonia. She is in an assisted living right now, but she can have rehab there. We haven't been there that long yet, but they are very friendly and attentive people. The place is clean. My mother has a private room that has its own bathroom in it. We were also able to get her a refrigerator. It is clean, too. They have more activities, and she has participated in a few of them. They have a library and a rehab section. Their price is about average.

Woodhaven Retirement Community seemed to take excellent care of the people there. They have several spaces for communal interaction. All the people there seemed to be happy and moving around. The rooms are single bedrooms, a little small, but reasonably-sized. The price is dependent on the level of care you need, like if you don't need as much care, it's closer to $4,000 a month, and if you need a lot of care, it's closer to $5,000 a month. The staff seemed nice. The place itself was clean and had good lighting.

Had my mom in "enhanced care" there, terrible place. She had a large wound on her backside and they never told us about it. Had feces dtied in her butt like tar. Couldn't get her out fast enough. Poorly managed, poorly trained, sad place.

I visited a part of Woodhaven Retirement which was called Woodpointe independent living apartments. It was very nice, it had options, and you can do the home investment program, or the home rental program. The environment was very nice, it's in a wooded area, they have prepared meals if you want them, and they take you places if you need to go.

My Father was wheeled in after recovering from a Massive Heart Attack and then hit with Pneumonia... He was pretty much off his feet for 2 Months! This is the Place You want to handle Your Loved One!! The Staff is Knowledgeable and On Top Of It! Medical Staff is Great and come Often. Rehab is Excellent and they will make you Work to get Healthy again... Management Staff are Very Caring People and Will Work With You! The Place is Clean and Top Notched! Meals Smell, Taste and look Great! The Setting/Environment is Comfortable and Relaxed. I am on my way to take my Father Home in a few minutes of this writing. He will be Walking Out of this Facility after two and a half weeks of rehab!

The people at Woodhaven were like 85 years old and older, and I did not think it would be a good fit for my husband who is in his early 60’s, but the facility was very nice, and they were very good. The staff was very helpful, very nice, friendly, and accommodating. The rooms were good. A mother of a friend was there for 10 years, and she had recommended that place. I think they had activities like bingo, birthday parties, movie nights, and arts and crafts.

My mother-in-law is currently there. We have found the staff willing to listen to our comments and suggestions are implemented about as well as can be I think. Like most places, the staff is spread thin enough that residents' buzzers may not get answered immediately, but generally they are looked after well. The activities are frequent and efforts are made to involve residents that can participate. When visiting, noticing any offending odor is rare. I do my mother-in-law's laundry, and find she is dressed in clean clothes daily. A pressure sore she has from sitting has been treated on and off successfully. They are attentive to her physical and mental care.

My mother and father lived in the Woodhaven apartments for a number of years until they were unable to care for themselves. They both moved to the skilled nursing facility at Woodhaven when they needed additional care. The facility provided loving Christian care and my parents enjoyed the lovely wooded setting.

My father has been a resident in the memory care area for 2-1/2 years. At first I was quite satisfied with the quality of care. However, after finding him in soaked, foul-smelling diapers and wet clothes and wheelchair several times (indicating his diapers had not been changed for hours), I complained to the staff, then the middle management, then finally to the director of the entire facility. Afterwards, they insisted that my father either be evaluated by a psychiatrist for "behavior problems", or be sent to a facility for psychiatric evaluation. Before my complaints about his filthy diapers to management, there were no complaints about his behavior. The episodes of dirty, foul-smelling, soaked through to the chair diapers continues.

Provider Response

Dear Friend, we are saddened to read this review. We certainly do handle a number of very challenging (albeit rewarding) situations as we care for seniors who bear the immense burden of memory impairment and decline. In any instance where comments such as these are raised, we insist on thoroughly investigating and responding with appropriate measures. Given the details provided, we have done so with this case. If you can provide additional information, or have further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us via any method convenient for you.

My mother has been a assisted living resident for a year. Initially we were happy with the place, but over the last 3 months, we feel our mother is not getting the care we pay for. She has some pressure sores and the dressings are not being changed. They don't make sure she has on clean clothing. We pay for incontinence care and find they haven't changed her poise pad. Most of the aides are good caring people that are way overworked. They're expected to care for patients, shower them, clean the rooms and do the laundry. It's not surprising that the rooms don't get cleaned well with that workload. We're currently looking into other care options.

My husband is already in Woodhaven and it's excellent. They have three separate units. They have assisted living, health services and memory services. He is in the health services facility where they have 24-hour nursing care. When he had a stroke and ended up being paralyzed on his right side, I moved him into the building next door so it takes me 2 minutes to walk from my apartment to the building just to be able to be with him. We're set off like in the woods where you cannot see us from the street.

Woodhaven is located near us. They have independent living apartments, and it seemed really nice. We liked its atmosphere. They have a bus that takes residents once a week to the grocery store, the bank, or the pharmacy, and to other places that you would ask to go, but they have a schedule. The best thing about it is that my father-in-law will be able to cook his own meals, if he decides to move in there. They also have a garage where he can park his car.

I visited a family friend here several times. The grounds were off of the main road in a pretty wooded area. The assisted-living facility was welcoming and clean on the inside. The staff were very friendly. There were many activities available for the residents, and various themed dinners and experiences were planned on a monthly basis. I was very impressed with the respect that seemed to be given to the residents. One of the best assisted-living communities I have visited.

I visited Woodhaven Retirement Community in November 2011. In general, I thought Woodhaven Retirement Community to the best retirement community that I have ever visited. It is the only continuing care Retirement community in Livonia, Michigan. Woodhaven Retirement Community is primarily a faith based community where active seniors can actually live in luxury and elegance. The grounds of the facility are heavily wooded and secluded acres of land in the heart of Livonia, Michigan on the far west side of Detroit, Michigan most fluent suburb. The common areas of the Retirement community is beautiful, lovely, lively and it also offers a combination of major benefits of the metropolitan area that is also blended with the peaceful retreat of living in a very quiet secluded, and fast pace of the city as well. The only sounds surrounding the beautiful retirement community are the birds chirping, the gentle breeze rustling against the leaves in addition to the city of Livonia, Michigan is a very senior friendly community that any senior would appreciate. The residents'apartments are fit for a Royal Family to reside in with the elegance and luxuries that will make your eyes spin fifty miles an hour trying to accommodate the elegant décor and furniture at the same time. The staff and management of the facility are very loving, caring, and professional and team, task oriented in their job duties and performances and they treat their residents like family. I know that the residents receive excellent care there. I would have to rank this resort on a five stars rating in its expertise and excellence for senior living and retirement. While I was there, I noticed that the entire facility was just fit for a Royal Family to live in and their residents were enjoying their luxury living life styles at the resort is what I call it. I wanted to live there too I just didn't want to leave. The residents were enjoying themselves in their apartments' and other areas of the facility also it is just too gorgeous for words. I would recommend this resort to every senior and any senior that would love to live in elegance and luxury for the rest of their life. I know that they would love it there and I know that they would do excellent there.

I recommend it and have found it to provide very good care in both the assisted living and the nursing sections. It is clean, well-maintained, and in a quiet wooden area. But it is hard to find on the first trip since it is down a small side street. There are many activities and meals are generally acceptable, sometimes great, sometimes not.
