The Residence at Great Woods sits in a quiet neighborhood, and the community is designed to make seniors feel at home with welcoming spaces and a busy atmosphere for anyone who wants to stay active, and they've got walking trails, outdoor seating, and gardens with nice scenery all around. They've got a lot of different care options-including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing-so people can find care that fits their needs right on the same campus, and that means folks don't have to move if they need more help later. The place uses a S.H.I.E.L.D. program that encourages daily wellness and holistic care, and they've got wellness plans made by nurses who keep things up to date if needs change. People can choose from a seven-tier care menu, so care gets tailored for each resident, with personal help for walking, bathing, dressing, and managing medications, and they can help with oxygen or even crush medications if needed.
For memory care, they've got the Reflections Memory Care program, which focuses on empathy, mindfulness, and self-expression, and all their workers are certified by the National Institute for Dementia Education, which gives some peace of mind if memory issues ever come up. The Residence at Great Woods has 24-hour security, emergency call systems, and fire safety features, and they're fully accessible for people who use walkers or wheelchairs. The community has a wellness center, a pharmacy, and onsite medical visits from specialists like podiatrists, audiologists, and optometrists, so residents don't always need to leave for appointments.
Amenities are everywhere, and they've got an activity room, arts & crafts studio, game room, exercise room, TV lounge, beauty and barber shop, theater, lots of lounges, and a library with space to read or meet up, plus outdoor green space and gardens for fresh air. Dining is flexible with breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices, and there are all-day dining services, too, for those who eat on a different schedule. There are programs for everything from fitness and wellness to arts, spiritual support, music, social clubs, inter-generational visits, movie nights, and special events, so there's always something on the calendar if you like being around others.
Their apartments come in several floor plans and can be fully furnished, and they're set up for safety, comfort, and easy access no matter your needs. If someone just wants a short stay without a long-term commitment, respite care is an option, and they help connect families with information about veterans benefits, Medicaid, Medicare, and tips for handling the costs, which can be confusing. They can explain ways to use insurance, sell a home, or use other assets to pay for care.
Tiffany Michalski, the Executive Director, leads a staff that's described as caring and professional, and they really seem to focus on keeping people active, happy, and safe, making it easy to adjust care if something changes. It's managed by LCB Senior Living, so it follows practices common in their other communities. Residents can enjoy access to local shops, restaurants, historical sites, and places to relax or take a walk, and everything in the building is set up to give folks as much choice and comfort as possible. The Residence at Great Woods gives several options under one roof, so residents can stay close to what's familiar even when their needs change, and it tries to provide a genuine home-like atmosphere with expert care available whenever it's needed.
