Adams Woodcrest of Decatur has been serving seniors since 1982 and sits on 120 acres of country land with ponds, a 10-acre wooded area with trails, and paved walking paths for residents to enjoy nature right outside their door, which gives a nice peaceful feeling. The campus has space for over 240 residents with 150 staff, and offers a range of care, from independent living in villas, cottages, duplexes, and Garden or Woodcrest Apartments, all the way to assisted living at Evergreen Court, memory care in a household setup, and full nursing care in the Woodcrest Nursing Center, so folks can stay in one place even if their needs change over time. A doctor's office called Adams Medical Group Woodcrest is on campus, and the community partners with Adams Memorial Hospital, the Worthman Fitness Center, outpatient lab and radiology, plus a 24-hour emergency department, which means medical care will never be far away if something comes up.
There's always someone from the nursing team around, including nurse practitioners and an in-house therapy team offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy six days a week, and the facility works with home care agencies and provides rehab, subacute, long-term, hospice, and respite care for those who need it. Residents who need help with memory problems, falls, illnesses, or other long-term conditions get specialized care and access to a memory care household, plus there's a monthly caregiver support group with education and a chance to connect with others. People get help with daily tasks like bathing, eating, dressing, and moving around if that's what they need, and the nursing center provides support day and night.
The apartments come in different sizes and have fully equipped kitchens, living areas, laundry, dishwashers, garages, and lighted parking, and housekeeping comes by twice a month, so folks don't have to worry about chores or yard work, since the staff takes care of most of those things like snow removal and repairs. The apartments and common areas have Wi-Fi, cable, and a state-of-the-art emergency response system, and there's always maintenance available for indoor and outdoor spaces. The dining room serves one meal each day, and there's also a small bistro for snacks or visitors. Residents can keep busy with a full schedule of activities-bingo, musical shows, trips to restaurants, bible studies, crafts, happy hour, and exercise classes-and the chaplain and local churches run spiritual programs every week.
The campus has plenty of outdoor spaces like courtyards, fields, and paths for walking or biking, and you're only a short way from a golf course if you want a game. There's a guest suite for visiting family, social and educational programs for residents, a fitness center membership, beauty and barber shop, and several areas for crafts and games. The community prides itself on a home-like environment where each suite is private or semi-private, roomy and cozy, with warm colors and friendly faces, and the staff puts a focus on person-centered care with input from both residents and employees, all while keeping up a strong safety record with regular, deficiency-free state board surveys and Medicare/Medicaid certification.
Adams Woodcrest operates as a nonprofit and is part of Adams Health Network, which means the focus is on serving the needs of seniors, and there's always someone to keep an eye on health and wellbeing, whether it's medication management, therapy, transportation, or just making sure folks are safe and comfortable. Residents are encouraged to keep up with family and old routines, and staff will help them attend family events like meals or celebrations outside the community. The campus is well maintained and quiet, and the overall atmosphere remains peaceful, giving folks plenty of chances to spend time outdoors and with each other, whether it's during a scheduled social event or a simple walk by the pond.
