    Polite staff, neglectful basic care

    I had mixed experiences at this facility: the owners and many staff were polite, helpful, and clearly cared about residents. Unfortunately basic care was often neglected, physical therapy felt improper, and communication/progress updates were poor, which made my stay miserable at times.

    About Woods' Board & Care

    Woods' Board & Care sits on Topeka Street in Riverbank, California, offering care for seniors in a 15-bed adult residential care home that's licensed by the California Department of Social Services, and the staff here make sure each person gets personal attention with daily living, so whether someone needs help with bathing, clothing, grooming, or just a gentle reminder for medication, there's always a caregiver around, even at night, and there's support for special care needs like memory care, insulin doses, and two-person transfers if people ask. The building has safety features for memory care, and the staff writes up detailed care plans for each resident, especially for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, taking time to set things up before someone moves in so the right assistance is ready from the start. Residents here can choose from assisted living, memory care, independent living, or nursing home support, depending on how much help they need, and people who want a bit of independence but still need help with chores or meals can get that, too. There are group activities like regular social night events, music programs, craft workshops, scheduled exercises, and movie entertainment, with games and animal therapy, so days don't get too quiet, plus the caregivers help arrange rides to doctor appointments, faith-based outings, or trips to the store. The facility includes cozy spaces like a book room, spa and sauna room, barber or parlor for haircuts, outdoor areas, a game room, a dining hall, and there are laundry and dry cleaning services for clothes and linens, plus the maintenance staff keeps things in good working order. Residents get three meals daily, and the team can adjust diets for medical needs like diabetes or high blood pressure, and they bring in mobile hairdressers or nurses when needed. Most bedrooms have amenities like cable TV, and there are washers and dryers available for use. Housekeeping keeps things tidy, and there's guest parking for family or friends. For health care needs, there's access to nurses, podiatry services, wound care, and occupational therapy. Safety's a focus here, especially for the memory care residents, with sprinkler systems in place and support staff always nearby. The atmosphere at Woods' Board & Care aims for a calm, friendly, family-like environment, and the staff dedicates themselves to helping seniors live as comfortably and safely as possible, without making things too complicated or fancy.
