Woodside Manor Nursing Home

Kathy

My mother is in Woodside Manor Nursing Home. It is a great facility. The staff is great, and they're well taken care of. It's long-term. It's for people who have Alzheimer's who can't take care of themselves. The building is older. They could certainly improve on that, but I don't think they're going to. My mom is well-treated. I would suggest to anyone, if they need long-term care for dementia or Alzheimer's or whatever you want to call it, that's the place. It was the only bed available when we had to have it. My mom was in the hospital, and they wouldn't release my mom until she went into this type of care because my mom was falling a lot. We weren't thinking of staying there because it's a little farther drive for my father, who's 91, but the care that she gets is so good that we're not moving. They manage her medications, change her, shower her, and wash her hair. They're attentive to our needs, and it's a smaller nursing home. There are less people per nurse or attendant, which helps with my mom. It's fully staffed. They also get trainees from the college. They have a good training program there. The food is definitely very good. The cleanliness is spot on. They do a lot of activities there. They do bocce ball, bingo, movie night, and arts and crafts, but they make it a point to make sure every day that there are at least two things that they can go to. They're all expensive, but the value that we're getting, because my mom is on Medicaid, is superb. She loves it. The staff is so attentive, and they make sure that during lunchtime, everybody sits with somebody. Nobody ever eats alone. If you need assistance eating, they can do that. If you need a special menu, they can do that.
