Saint Therese Senior Living of Woodbury is a faith-based community guided by the Catholic tradition and the Benedictine Values, where seniors find a full range of care options in one place. The campus, which used to be a family farm, sits on landscaped grounds with peaceful gardens, a therapeutic labyrinth, and easy access to Bailey Road, shops, and restaurants. Residents choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, transitional care, hospice, and home health care, so there's a living option and support level for seniors at every stage, whether they're looking for active, hassle-free apartments or need round-the-clock skilled nursing services. Spacious apartments and private care suites go up to 1,857 square feet, with kitchens, multiple floor plans, and maintenance-free living for those who want independence but value support. Assisted living apartments have full kitchens, and every apartment gets access to daily conveniences, privacy, and independence, while those who need more help get support with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily needs.
Memory care takes place in its own smaller neighborhood with dementia care features to reduce confusion and keep wandering residents safe. Residents in long-term care can have private suites located in their own neighborhood setting, and there's transitional care for short-term stays after a hospital stay, with personalized recovery plans. Nursing home care provides 24-hour nursing and personal care for those who have ongoing medical needs, and respite care is available for short-term help.
Saint Therese offers person-centered care focused on the whole person, taking in emotional, social, spiritual, physical, and medical needs. The pastoral care program brings spiritual support with Catholic Mass, ecumenical services, Holy Communion, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, and support groups. The on-site chapel is open for prayer and reflection, and walking paths and the therapeutic labyrinth help residents practice quiet time and personal reflection.
A lot of amenities are on the campus, such as a state-of-the-art Wellness Center with therapy and fitness equipment, saltwater pool, hot tub, fitness studios, and a balance center with NeuroCom® systems for specialized therapy needs. Residents get fitness classes, personal training sessions, aquatic therapy, massage, and even therapy services with Saint Therese Rehab-this covers physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy. There's also an art room, theater, woodshop, game room called The Redwoods, library with free Wi-Fi and computers, club room for social events, and happy hour gatherings. Onsite beauty and barber shop, housekeeping and laundry, physician services, and wellness services are available every day. Residents enjoy scheduled outings, activities, and community events, and transportation is available for shopping or appointments.
Meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners with an emphasis on nutrition and taste, served in a restaurant-style dining room, outdoor patio in warm weather, or delivered to apartments. There's a Bistro in the town center open to residents, guests, and staff for buffet-style dining and hot drinks. Activities and amenities are many: a community garden, gift shop, movie theater, and walking paths, as well as secure building access, round-the-clock staff, underground heated parking, clubhouse, and spacious living areas.
Saint Therese is a nonprofit dedicated to serving older adults, depending in part on donations to keep up high-quality services. The whole approach is to care for each resident with patience and compassion, inspired by faith, whether support is needed now and then or around the clock. People often say the campus feels welcoming and the religious aspect gives an extra sense of comfort. There's always an option for more care or more independence, and there's always someone available when help or support is needed.
