The Warren in Woodstock, VA, operates as an assisted-living community equipped to manage a broad range of routine and complex health needs. Care plans can accommodate residents who wander during the day or night, display mild behavioral issues, require oxygen therapy, follow special diets, are under 60 years of age, or manage diabetes with oral medication. The team is also prepared to support individuals living with mild dementia, offering structure and monitoring that reduce risks while preserving independence where possible.

Clinical coverage is anchored by an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers remain awake overnight, and an Activity Director coordinates structured engagement throughout the day. Safety systems include door alarms, Wander Guard technology, pull-cord alerts, and optional personal emergency response pendants. Podiatry services are available on site. Residents who need help with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting can receive full assistance, and transfer capabilities range from walker or wheelchair support to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound individuals.

Accommodation options vary and may include a private bathroom, basic cable, and housekeeping services, with permission to paint or decorate the space to personal preference. Because layouts differ, not every unit offers all of these features, so families are encouraged to confirm specifics during a tour.

Dining is handled through a set menu or made-to-order selections, and snacks are available throughout the day. Residents may eat in the main dining room, a private dining space, or in their own apartments when needed. The culinary team manages physician-ordered modifications such as gluten-free meals, vegetarian choices, mechanically chopped or pureed textures, and thickened liquids.

Additional amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled shuttle transportation for medical appointments only. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

The lack of recreational activities and outdated infrastructure such as dirty carpeting are other areas of concern raised by reviewers.

However, despite the drawbacks mentioned, several family members and visitors recommend the community based on their positive interactions with staff and the care provided.
