Woodview Home sits on 120 Woodview Dr in Folsom, and it's a senior living facility that lets residents bring small pets like cats and dogs, which helps some folks feel more at home, and there's a garden and shaded outdoor seating where you can watch the birds or just sit and talk. The place has private rooms for everyone, all with private baths and wheelchair-accessible showers, so nobody has to share their space, and the building has grab bars and wide doors to make things safer if you need a walker or wheelchair. Staff are always around, day and night, with a nurse and doctor on call, so if something goes wrong or someone feels sick, care is right there, and there's help with taking medicine, dressing, bathing, or moving between bed and chair if you need it. Folks get three meals a day in a dining room where they can see friends, and meals can fit special diets like vegetarian or kosher, which matters to some people; plus, staff can take care of the housekeeping, laundry, and help set up when a new resident moves in, lightening the load for everyone.
There are indoor and outdoor areas for meeting up with friends, and on-site activities like games, movie nights, social clubs, and devotional services help fill the days, with the walking paths used for group outings, giving everyone a reason to get some fresh air and move around. Beauty and barber visits happen regularly so people don't have to travel for a haircut, and transportation services can take residents to appointments or outings. The place also offers therapy services-physical, occupational, and speech therapy-so if someone's recovering from an injury or needs regular help with movement or talking, that's taken care of, and they even coordinate with outside health care providers, including dentists or podiatrists. People who need diabetic care or incontinence support get what they need, and the community is licensed to serve people who have trouble walking, as well as those who require dementia or hospice care, which means residents can stay longer as their needs change.
The environment tries to feel homelike, and there's a focus on keeping things comfortable and safe, with personal care plans updated as often as needed, so each resident's support matches what they truly need. There's respite care, which means short-term stays are possible if a primary caregiver needs a break, and families can know their loved ones are still getting support. The ratings for Woodview Home are about average, with 3.0 overall and for care and staff, and 2.8 for meals, building, and value, based on two reviews, so it seems most feel things are fine, if not perfect. The staff are warm and friendly and work to help residents feel respected and included, and there's always someone there in case of emergencies, making sure everyone's as safe and comfortable as they can be.
