The Woodlands sits close to a theater, so residents can enjoy entertainment and cultural activities without needing to go far, and nearby there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, pharmacies, and doctors' offices, which really comes in handy when someone needs to pick up a prescription or wants to eat out or meet family for lunch, and transportation services make errands and trips easy, while parks right around the community give residents a good spot for outdoor walks or just sitting outside, and the community itself offers four different monitored living homes, including a Victorian-style house that was restored and opened in 1998, so people get that bed and breakfast feel, with beautiful hardwood floors, family-style decorations, and a warm, homey atmosphere where long-term staff and residents help the place feel comfortable and safe, and the homes provide both single and double bedrooms plus private and semi-private options, all clean and well-kept, and everywhere is fully sprinklered.
Residents can choose independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and short-term care, and The Woodlands opens its doors to adults aged 35 and older, which is a bit different from many places, and the staff are around 24 hours a day to make sure help is always there, and trained employees check on residents, help manage medication, and offer non-ambulatory care with standby assistance, so people who need help moving from bed to wheelchair get it, and there's diabetic care available for help with monitoring blood sugar, though residents need to handle their own insulin injections.
Onsite there's a fitness and wellness program, Tai Chi, housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and a garden, while activities rooms and indoor common spaces give everyone space to meet, play games, or take part in planned activities, plus there's internet by Wi-Fi in units or cable/satellite TV in common areas, and for spiritual needs, The Woodlands offers devotional activities at services held offsite, and residents can also join counseling programs or social clubs.
Meals are home-cooked, served three times a day in an elegant dining room, and the maintenance team keeps everything in spotless shape, and laundry and cleaning are done for the residents, which means folks don't have to worry about chores, and there's monitored parking, transportation for shopping, and regular outings to different spots, and the community doesn't allow pets, but does provide guest meals, guest parking, and help for veterans who need assistance with aid, and the property is quiet and safe, with indoor and outdoor seating areas where people can gather, talk, or just relax.
The Woodlands also ties in with Triton House, Renaissance, and Parkview, and features a day program called the Haven Day Program, and care services are customized as needs change, so some people join for independent living without much help, while others take part in memory support if they have Alzheimer's disease or dementia, where they get extra supervision to reduce confusion and wandering. Staff include general practitioners, psychologists, podiatrists, and psychiatrists, so there's access to broad medical care, and all kinds of devotional and activity programs run either onsite or offsite to keep body, mind, and spirit engaged. Prospective residents and their families can schedule a tour to see all the rooms, meet staff and residents, and get a feeling for the calm, family-like environment at The Woodlands.
