Woodstock Center for Nursing and Healing, often called Woodstock Nursing & Rehab, sits in Woodstock, Georgia and looks after older adults with many different needs, and the place is large with 171 beds, so there always seem to be people around visiting and staff walking the halls, and the building feels pretty modern. The center offers a wide range of care-skilled nursing with round-the-clock care, short-term rehabilitation, assisted living, memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and all kinds of support like help with bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around, and there's home care for those who want to stay in their own houses but need extra help, and adult daycare is also on offer for family members who may want a safe place for their loved one during the day. Their memory care unit is secure, focused on safety, and provides 24-hour support with programs and activities aimed at helping folks with memory challenges, and for residents coming out of a hospital stay, the rehab team tries hard to help them recover and maybe even get back home sooner.
They accept both Medicare and Medicaid, so families with different budgets can find help here, and there's long-term nursing options available for those that need them, as well as respite care when regular caregivers need a break, plus hospice care for those at the end of life, with an effort to keep comfort and dignity. The community acts much like a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) because of all the services packed into one spot, including independent senior apartments for those who want a more active, hands-off lifestyle but may use support services if needed, and people can pick rooms with private bathrooms and kitchenettes-furnished and ready if needed, with things like cable TV, phone, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, and the building offers daily housekeeping, linen service, and room service too, even dry cleaning. The center's main dining room serves up meals restaurant-style with choices for special diets, including diabetes or allergies, and there's always some activity going on, from fitness programs, movie nights, art and music groups, to regular scheduled outings and day trips arranged by the staff, plus residents can use the fitness room, the wellness center with a spa and sauna, and walking paths in the garden outside, and there's common spaces like a computer center, small library, community lounge, and game room.
Residents get help with meds, wound care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and the center supports those with higher needs, like transfers and non-ambulatory care, with nurse staffing hours a bit above the state average, though turnover is pretty high among nursing staff. Managers like Melinda Huff, Isaac Ovits, and Dianne Patterson are in charge, with the place run by Cypress Skilled Nursing LLC, and inspection records show there have been problems over the years-16 total deficiencies, some dealing with infection control, medication errors, and help with everyday tasks, with the most recent survey in May 2024 listing six issues, mostly related to infection and med safety, but there's no sign of actual harm, just the risk if things weren't fixed. There's a resident and family council that helps with feedback, so people speak up about problems and staff try to make improvements, and the emergency alert system adds an extra layer of safety for everyone. Community activities, family support, nutritious meals, and an approach to care that's both about health needs and everyday life, all make up the daily routines here, and staff try to treat everyone kindly and keep rooms clean so folks feel welcome whether they're staying for a short while or calling the place home for years. For a big place, they offer quite a range of choices and services under one roof, especially for families who want peace of mind and a steady place for their loved ones, and while it's not fancy or perfect, many in Woodstock have trusted the center for years.
