Schmitt Woodland Hills Retirement Community started back in 1965 and serves more than 125 residents with the help of over 120 staff working all day and night, and this place stands out because it's the only provider in the county that offers the full range of senior care under one roof, so you can come here for independent living, assisted living, in-home care, skilled nursing, and even memory care if that's needed, all from a faith-based perspective. The community has independent apartments for folks who want active, social living without worrying about maintenance, and you'll find both studio and one- or two-bedroom options, with things like wheelchair-accessible showers, laundry, parking, storage, cheerful common spaces, resident-run activities, and outdoor paths; if someone needs help, there's move-in coordination and support services too, with long-term and seasonal stays possible.
Assisted living services happen in the Westview Assisted Living center, where there are 26 private rooms and two remodeled suites, and folks here get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting around, plus a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and caregivers assist with things like transfers and light housework, so you can focus on friendships and hobbies, whether it's arts and crafts in the arts room, movie nights, or time in the tranquil garden right outside. Schmitt Woodland Hills also runs a licensed, Medicare-approved Health Center that offers 50 private rooms for skilled nursing care, and the staff is trained to help with complex needs, rehabilitation, and even specialized dementia care through programs like their dementia waiver, designed for those with mild cognitive impairment who need more attention and supervision.
Residents have a wide choice of meals with a restaurant-style, all-day dining menu, communal dining rooms, and special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive options, plus there's regular housekeeping, laundry, dry-cleaning, and support for personal grooming thanks to an on-site beauty salon and barber. Activities fill the daily schedule, so there's always something to do, be it social events, educational programs, worship, gardening, or lounging in the resident lounge at the Health Center. Pets are allowed, there are nice gardens for walks or visits with family, a handy library, easy access to transportation, and the place is close to restaurants, parks, churches, and hospitals like Richland Medical Center and Advanced Pain Management.
Safety is a priority with 24-hour supervision, an emergency alert system, and full wheelchair accessibility throughout, and the community supports residents who need in-home care as well, offering help with meals, medications, and light chores. Schmitt Woodland Hills accepts Medicaid and Medicare for care services in its accredited Community-Based Residential Facility, and there's dedicated space and staff for each level of care as needs change over time, with comfortable furnished rooms, telephones, and plenty of indoor and outdoor amenities. This place keeps life full, with both staff-led and resident-run activities, and it aims to provide comfort, support, and a steady routine for all who call it home, whether someone stays for a short time or for the long haul.
