Woodmont Center Fredericksburg, VA

My feisty father had a second stroke which was debistating to his health and body. The staff worked with him to make sure the original hospital diagnosis was accurate. They then explained the data with us and answered all our questions They cared for him with patience and understanding and, at times, I felt that they were taking care of us, too.

I'm staying at Woodmont Center. Some of the staff members are really good, and some are not as good. They haven't had any cases of the virus in here, so that's a big plus for them. They make sure that I get my medications. They don't have a gym or a swimming pool, but their rehab staff is really good. They do all the cleaning and cooking, but the food is really bland. They don't get anything but meat and potatoes type food. They always have somebody going around cleaning. They give out a calendar of activities and they have a bunch of activities, but I'm not interested in any of them. For example, they have a cooking activity where they bake cookies.

Do NOT put your loved ones here unless you want them to die. Unprofessional, rude staff who do not respond to call buttons, do minimal effort, and put patient health and life at risk. Staff tell you not to leave items in room as other patients often steal things - what does that tell you? relative lasted less than 24 hours before returning to hospital in declined health. Had prescribed low sodium diet - they ignored; macaroni & cheese and other profit maximized food items every meal. You've been warned.

My 93 year old Mother was out in a room with a 32 year old who kept the tv on all night and moaned from pain so loudly that I could hear her through the phone. My mother waited over an hour for help to go to the bathroom (she was on diuretics) and the staff member who finally arrived humiliated her by saying she could have just gone in her diaper. They failed to give her lung treatments for several days because they couldn’t find the mask — she ended up in the ER with pneumonia — the mask was her bedside table. The medical care and facilities are sadly lacking. The staff should not be working with geriatric patients. Or should be better trained to take care of the elderly. Avoid this place if you care for your family member.

The kennel I manage is cleaner than this place. There were ants on my mother, not once but twice. I had her out of there within 12 hoursof the 2nd ant infestation. My personal opinion is she DECLINED 50%. She sat in her own urine and feces for more than 2 hours at a time, even though she rang her buzzer. I had to hire a private caregiver just to change, rotate and feed her. I came every night to help her with brushing teeth and cleaning up for bed. I watched not only her decline after getting cdif, I watched her roomate decline to the point I couldnt look at her any more. If you read reviews, then shame on you for putting your loved one in that place. I regret I didn't look in to facilities closer. The 1 star I am required to give is double the true evaluation I really feel they should have. Please evaluate facilities better than I did.!

I had my Sister there for about 1 month - the 1st two days were a little "Rocky" only because she doesn't like to follow "rules." LOL But this place - (though the Walls are not all "decked out" and the Carpet is not New - started feeling "like home!" My Sister - with Dementia- had full privileges to walk down the hallways and if she knew where a particular patient was - could go say "Hi!" She didn't want to leave - even though the door to outside was right there. I know they have a way of knowing who's coming and going in case she may have tried to escape. After Rehab - I moved her to another facility for Respite for 2 weeks - I wash I hadn't. They had her behind Steel Doors and with 5 others that could no longer speak and were not allowed to interact with the other people living there beyond the "Steel" Door. So Sad - I highly recommend Woodmont! Like I said - not all "Frilled" up to look "Pretty" but it is the "Heart" inside that counts.

Woodmont Center is where my mother is, and we'll probably get her long term care. It's right by my work, so I can go there anytime. That's where she had rehab, so she kind of adjusted to being there. I could use more information from them though if I'm sitting in the doctor's office with my mom. They have Bingo, churches that come in and do services, reflection time, and games. They have a menu for the day, and they get to see what they're going to have for meals.
