The Residence at Great Woods offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, enabling residents to move between levels of support without leaving the community. Care teams are prepared to manage wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risks, sleep-wake reversals, and diabetic residents on oral medication. Advanced dementia conditions are accepted, and individualized care plans are updated as needs change. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and coordination with outside physicians is routine.
Daily care is backed by licensed nurses on site, an RN or LPN available around the clock, and awake night staff for continuous monitoring. Pull-cord systems in residences and personal emergency response devices connect residents to staff or 911 in seconds, while a fenced rear area supports safer outdoor access. Staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can support walkers, wheelchairs, one-person transfers, or simple standby help. An activities director structures cognitive and physical programs seven days a week, and 24-hour security ensures doors are monitored.
Apartments include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to repaint or decorate, though not every unit offers every listed feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the monthly fee, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs. Residents choose among studio and one-bedroom layouts, and emergency call devices are installed in each living space.
Dining services provide three daily meals in the restaurant-style dining room, with a set menu and on-order alternatives at each seating. Diet modifications such as low-sugar, low-sodium, or mechanically soft diets are accommodated without surcharge. Snacks are available throughout the day, and meals can be delivered to the apartment when needed for recuperation or preference.
Independent Living residents on campus receive weekly housekeeping and laundry but manage their own personal care and medication unless services are added. This allows tenants who need a lighter touch to stay in the same community as care needs evolve.
Amenities include resident and guest parking, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access throughout the building, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a barber/beauty shop, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation for local errands or medical appointments. Smoking is limited to designated outdoor areas, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
