Woodland Care Center & Assisted Living sits in Woodland, Washington and has been caring for seniors since 1974, with the Settlemier family running it since 1978, and you can see how they've expanded over the years, first adding assisted living in 1995 and then skilled nursing in 2005, and now they offer independent living, assisted living, and nursing care options including memory care and hospice, all in one place. The community stays focused on keeping residents safe and comfortable, always working on emergency preparedness and making sure everyone gets personal attention and quality care from skilled, friendly staff who are available around the clock and really seem to want folks to feel right at home. Woodland Care Center has 32 WHCA and licensed beds, including 14 private suites for people recovering from an illness or injury, and each room-especially the studios-comes with things like full tubs for bathing and hi/low electric beds for comfort, so the spaces do feel personal yet connected to the social parts of daily life.
Outside, raised gardening beds and walking paths go along with a landscaped courtyard and patio garden, giving folks a nice place to relax, plant a flower, or sit with neighbors, and there's always a place to be with others in the indoor common areas, whether it's the game room, movie room, library, arts and crafts center, or the TV lounge, and some residents enjoy the beautician and devotional services without needing to go anywhere special. Nutritious meals-three a day, with special diets like low sodium or low sugar when needed-get served in the dining areas, and the chef and meal planners take care to make food that's both healthy and appealing; there's even room service for folks who'd rather eat in their room.
The staff includes medical professionals and caregivers who support residents in their daily routines, helping with medications, meals, bathing, dressing, and hygiene, and they keep an eye on health conditions, always ready to call in the nurse or make changes to someone's plan of care if something shifts. There are always scheduled activities for social, educational, or spiritual needs, with weekly outings on the van or bus, so there's a steady way to make new friends or keep the mind busy. Woodland Care Center's care team offers skilled nursing, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, restorative nursing, wellness and rehabilitation programs, and extra support for those with cognitive decline, plus short-term respite stays, aging-in-place, and hospice, so residents don't have to worry about changes in health pushing them to move.
Transportation comes at a cost, but parking is available for folks who drive, and inside the building, there's free Wi-Fi and cable TV, handicap access, cleaning and laundry services, and support from a home care agency if needed. Housekeeping is handled so residents don't have hassles, and the maintenance crew keeps the place up for folks wanting privacy but also a sense of community. Woodland Care Center holds a Medicaid license, so the option is there for those who qualify, and all living spaces get maintained to meet personal and medical needs as they change over time. The center has a history of trust in the Woodland area, always adapting services for comfort and independence, with a website that updates services and general details. Community tours are welcome for people wanting to see daily life, the dining rooms, and how the activities work.
