Woodside Manor Nursing Home

It was a blessing that I was able to admit both my parents to this facility. They were long term care residents for nearly five years. The staff is warm, caring, and willing to work with us and problem solve any concerns we had to help make their quality of life the best it could be. Even though my Mom and Dad’s challenges were completely different, the care they received was always personalized for them, modified when needed, and each of them was treated with respect and dignity that you pray for when you can’t be the one to provide their care. The office staff and business manager are so friendly and guided me through all the financial, Medicaid, and Social Security challenges that can be completely overwhelming. I appreciated their help so much. The Rehabilitation services were excellent and were always encouraging and positive right down to their last days. Despite my Dad’s rapid Parkinson’s decline, he was the first one up and ready for PT and OT, and because of their kind and encouraging manner he persevered with a positive attitude and great self esteem. As Mom’s health challenges continued, I was amazed by the many strategies that the OT used to help her better communicate and improve her daily living skills. The Nurses and CNAs each had a special bond with my parents and it was heart warming to witness these interactions daily. They were readily available and communicated in a timely manner whenever necessary. My parents participated in and enjoyed many activities that were planned and organized by the Activities Department. They especially looked forward to musical guests, outings, Bingo, and special holiday events. This staff had a tremendous impact on their emotional well-being. I greatly appreciated the Social Worker and the Administrator who were hands on, proactive, and very supportive to our entire family. Losing both parents so close together is something one is never quite ready for but the Woodside Staff was compassionate and caring

While the aides that cared for me were great; this place is under staffed, food sucks, the facilities were dirty and I had ants crawling all over my pillow, a shower was unheard of, and if you needed assistance to get on or off the toilet - you could expect a 30 minute wait. I was so pleased to get out of this place and NEVER will go back. In front, the residents sit with food in front of them drooling and no one helps them. I needed help to open and cut my food - often it was not provided and then there were the times I never got served! If you love your people find some place else to send them. The administration is over paid.

I toured this facility (along with several others) while looking for long term care for my grandfather. Although this was the place we selected, unfortunately he passed away before admission. Woodside stood out to us for several reasons - its clean, staff are friendly, and most importantly - the residents are happy! I highly recommend taking a tour and seeing for yourself
