Benton House Woodstock offers three distinct living options—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can select the level of support that matches their needs. The community is equipped to manage complex health profiles, including residents who wander during the day or night, those with a history of elopement, individuals who stay up throughout the night, and persons living with advanced dementia. Staff can provide wound care, administer oxygen, and accommodate special diets. Both oral-medication and insulin-dependent diabetics are accepted, and the community admits adults under 60 when appropriate. For daily living tasks, caregivers can furnish full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while offering some physical help with eating.
Clinical oversight is backed by an on-site RN/LPN, a 24-hour nurse on call, and an awake night shift. Staff members undergo background checks, and the grounds include a secured, fenced rear area to deter unsupervised exits. Pull-cord systems and personal emergency response devices alert team members if help is needed. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs can receive standby or one-person transfer assistance. A licensed podiatrist visits regularly, and an activity director coordinates structured programs that align with care plans.
Apartments are available in several layouts, and not every unit includes the same features. Some suites offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable access, while others may have a different combination of amenities. Residents may personalize their spaces with paint and décor, making each room feel individual. Independent Living participants have additional services such as medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan so they can maintain autonomy without handling everyday chores.
Dining follows a set menu that rotates to cover key nutritional requirements, with snacks offered between meals. The culinary team can manage special diets for diabetes, heart health, or texture modification, coordinating with clinical staff to ensure medical directives are followed. Meal service is available in communal dining areas, though assistance is provided if a resident needs help getting to the table or requires adaptive utensils.
Amenities include on-site resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet access, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation can take residents to appointments and local outings, while pets are welcome in accordance with community guidelines. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
