What People Are Saying
“My in-laws, 87 and 88, moved in after a medical crises. They did not want to leave
their home, but we could not come up with another option. It has been a hard
journey for them and the staff has been by their side the whole time. I have had
other family member in assisted living and Woodland Hills is much better! It is clear
that the majority of the staff truly care about the residents and treat them as family.
They are so patient and kind and always willing to sit and talk with residents. We are
nearby and are always stopping in so we know what’s going on. The geriatric doctor
onsite is absolutely amazing. She calls us at least once a month for about a half an
hour just to update us. She spends a large amount of time just listening to her
patients and coordinates all of their care. She explains things once and then
again…and again as needed by her patients. One of the nursing staff gave us their
personal number to call as needed. These people truly care and you can tell.”
S.S., Woodland Hills Family Member
“We had to move my parents to Woodland Hills recently after an emergency health
issue. The staff could not have been more helpful in making that transition and
welcoming my parents. [They] worked with us from start to finish… going above and
beyond our expectations to facilitate the transition… [that] made a tremendous first
impression on us, and the rest of the staff have lived up to that high standard!”
H.J., Woodland Hills Family Member
“Absolutely stellar! My experience with Woodland Hills has been nothing short of
exceptional. From the moment we walked through the doors. The staff is incredibly
attentive and genuinely cares about the residents. What really sets Woodland Hills
apart is the sense of community and family they foster. The staff knows each
resident by name and goes out of their way to make everyone feel at home.
Communication with families is excellent. I highly recommend Woodland Hills to
anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and vibrant assisted living community for
their loved ones. Five stars all the way!”
