What Families Have to Say
"I have a dear friend who suffered a TBI. She has been at Woodland for a little over a year now...
What Families have to say
"Woodland Palms has been a second home for my mom for over three years now. After visiting a dozen homes, I knew they were the perfect choice...
The team at Woodland Palms is exceptional, with dedicated staff members ensuring my mom receives the best care. From the extraordinary administrative and logistical team to the wellness director, medical staff, dining team, and caregivers, everyone exudes warmth, knowledge, and friendliness. The consistency in staff is remarkable, a rarity in most care facilities. The size of the care home is just right – not too big to lose personal touch, yet not too small to lack the necessary support."
What Families have to say
"My mom is happy and well cared for at Woodland Palms...
The caregivers and staff work so hard to ensure that the residents are taken care of with patience and professionalism. The courtyard provides a place where the residents can sit outside and enjoy the weather or walk around on the path. I'm so happy that Woodland Palms is nearby and a great place for mom!"
