    Exceptional attentive care clean environment

    My mom lives here and I couldn't be happier - the staff are exceptional, polite and very attentive, with frequent check-ins and timely meds. The building and apartments are clean, updated and wheelchair-accessible, and dining is excellent with three varied meals in a formal dining room. There are many daily activities (crafts, games, music, chapel/Bible study) led by a wonderful activity director, and care feels personal and family-like - management listens. It's affordable and gives us peace of mind; note there are 24/7 aides but not around-the-clock skilled nursing. Highly recommend.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with repeated praise for the staff, cleanliness, activities, and the family-like atmosphere at Woodcrest Senior Living Community. Reviewers consistently highlight the staff as a core strength: described as attentive, personable, compassionate and accommodating. Multiple comments note frequent check-ins, timely medication administration, and a high level of individualized attention — in some accounts staff "do everything for mom." Management is frequently described as responsive and willing to work with families on individual needs, which contributes to a sense of trust and peace of mind.

    Care quality is characterized as dependable and person-centered. Several reviewers mention three levels of care and that routine and personal care are delivered in the residents' apartments. Some reviews explicitly mention 24/7 aides and that the facility provided safety and peace of mind for families. At the same time, there is an important limitation noted repeatedly: Woodcrest is not a facility offering around-the-clock skilled nursing care. This means it is well suited for residents who need assisted living and hands-on aide support, but families seeking continuous skilled nursing or higher-level medical care should be aware of that constraint.

    Facilities and physical environment receive consistently favorable comments. Reviewers describe the community as clean, updated, modern, and well maintained. The single-floor layout and wheelchair accessibility are specifically called out as practical advantages. Apartments are described as "wonderful" and the building features a formal dining room with linens and special touches that many residents and families appreciate. The presence of a chapel and a clear Christian orientation are important features for some residents — reviewers praise daily devotionals, masses, Bible studies and other faith-based activities.

    Dining and meals are a frequently noted positive: most reviewers report three meals daily, a varied menu, and generally tasty food. The formal dining experience is highlighted (linens, crystal, etc.) and is viewed as part of the community's higher-touch presentation. A recurrent caveat is that meal service and dining routines have been altered by COVID-related rules, which led to changes in how meals were served to some residents; reviewers mention these changes but still generally rate food quality positively.

    Activities programming is a major strength. Reviews describe a very large, varied activity list including crafts, bingo, games, puzzles, exercise, music, choir, chalk art, and religious services. The activity director is singled out as "wonderful" and engaged, and the breadth of social and recreational options is a recurring theme that contributes to resident satisfaction and a sense of community.

    Value and recommendation: multiple reviewers call Woodcrest economical, mid-range in value, or affordable and say they would recommend it. Several family members explicitly endorse the community as the "best place for her so far" or say they would recommend it to others. The overall impression is that Woodcrest provides strong day-to-day assisted living services at a reasonable cost, with a strong emphasis on dignity, social engagement, and spiritual life.

    Primary concerns and caveats: the principal limitation to note is the absence of around-the-clock skilled nursing — families should confirm clinical capabilities if a resident requires ongoing skilled medical care. Practical inconveniences mentioned include shared washers and dryers rather than in-unit laundry, and temporary or ongoing adjustments to dining service due to COVID rules. These issues are minor relative to the overall positive feedback but important for prospective residents and families to consider based on individual needs.

    In summary, the reviews depict Woodcrest Senior Living Community as a clean, safe, and well-managed assisted living community with compassionate staff, robust activities (including a strong faith-based program), good food, and an environment described as family-like. It is especially well suited for seniors who need assistance with daily living, enjoy social and spiritual programming, and value an attentive staff and homelike atmosphere. Those needing continuous skilled nursing should evaluate alternatives or verify available clinical services, but for assisted living-level needs Woodcrest is repeatedly recommended by families and residents.

    About Woodcrest Senior Living Community

    Woodcrest Senior Living Community sits on 44 wooded acres in Scottdale, Pennsylvania, and has served seniors since 1968, offering a range of living options like apartments, duplexes, cottage homes, and single-room units, plus standalone cottages and bungalows, so folks can pick something that suits how they want to live and still have neighbors nearby. The community welcomes residents usually 55 or 62 and older and is a licensed Personal Care home by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Woodcrest gives active seniors plenty of ways to stay busy and connected, with a resident-run activities program, arts room, library, recreation room, walking paths, outdoor patios and gardens, and even regular movie nights, all planned to help people stay engaged physically, socially, mentally, and emotionally, and there are in-house religious services and community-sponsored events that bring folks together, while privacy is also respected. Inside the homes and apartments, many have full-size kitchens, and there are dining room facilities with all-day, restaurant-style choices and planned meals that can meet special dietary needs, including allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly options, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in bright, windowed spaces, and guests are allowed at meals, which many families appreciate. Staff provide on-site help as needed, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even nursing home care, with continuous supervision, emergency alert systems, medication administration, and a 24-hour call system for safety. Folks get housekeeping, room maintenance, and laundering for linens and personal items, including dry cleaning, so life's a bit easier, and there's a move-in coordination service to help new residents settle in. On top of that, there's on-site supervision, general healthcare, pharmacy services, medication management by trained staff, and support with daily routines like dressing, bathing, or moving around, so care needs get met without fuss. Utilities like heat, electricity, water, and air conditioning get included in the monthly fees, and residents have access to on-site parking, a barber/salon for personal grooming, and a garden for outdoor enjoyment. Woodcrest doesn't require big entry or endowment fees and tries to make things comfortable and convenient, aiming to care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of everyone who lives there, and over the years, it's earned a reputation in the community for compassionate, helpful, and kind staff-which has been recognized through awards for excellence and positive reviews from residents and their families.
