St. Mary’s Woods offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who require daily clinical oversight can receive support for oxygen management, special diets, and diabetes care whether they use oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale monitoring. Staff members also care for individuals with mild dementia, coordinating closely with the therapy room on-site to help maintain mobility and function. Because Independent Living residents are on the same campus, transitions to higher levels of medical care can be arranged without disrupting a resident’s routine or location.

A licensed nurse is on duty and an awake night staff is present around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and the community is equipped with 24-hour security, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. Bathing, dressing, and eating assistance are provided at the “some physical assistance” level, while toileting is expected to remain self-managed. Transfers are supported for residents who use a walker or need standby supervision, allowing them to maintain as much independence as possible while staying safe.

Apartments and suites include scheduled laundry service, and housekeeping is included for Independent Living residents. Not all accommodations come with every available feature, so it is important to confirm specifics—such as closet size or balcony access—when touring. Each living space is designed to let residents furnish and decorate to their own taste while still meeting safety standards set by the nursing team.

Dining is prepared on a set menu, though residents can order from an alternative list at each meal. The kitchen accommodates diet modifications for medical needs and offers vegetarian selections daily. Menus are coordinated with the nursing staff to align with special diet orders, including carbohydrate-controlled meals for diabetes and texture alterations when needed.

Community amenities include outdoor smoking areas, a pet-friendly policy, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, regular religious services, a library, and scheduled transportation for shopping, medical appointments, and outings. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
