Woodside Lutheran Home has been a cornerstone of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for more than 50 years, offering compassionate care within a warm, Christian environment. Its emphasis lies in supporting residents on their individual journeys to wellness, whether the need is for a short-term rehabilitation stay, outpatient therapy, or ongoing skilled nursing care. As soon as residents arrive, they are welcomed by a team of dedicated professionals committed to making each person feel at home and ensuring comfort throughout their stay.
The facility features a state-of-the-art therapy gym where residents participate in a variety of therapy sessions tailored to their needs. Therapy services at Woodside Lutheran Home include physical, occupational, and speech therapies, all ordered by the patient or resident’s physician and available seven days per week. A particularly unique aspect of the rehabilitation experience is the average length of stay being about two weeks, ensuring that care is prompt yet thorough. Private suites are available for short-term rehab residents, each equipped with a private bathroom and shower to maximize comfort and privacy.
For those dealing with chronic health conditions or memory-related challenges, Woodside Lutheran Home provides 24-hour skilled nursing care and features a secured memory care unit with specially trained staff.

Furthermore, the life enrichment team ensures that daily schedules are filled with diverse activities, catering to a range of interests and creating a lively community atmosphere. Pet therapy is also an important part of life at Woodside Lutheran Home, with visits from therapy animals like Miss Ivy bringing joy and companionship to the residents.
Residents benefit from a comprehensive approach to transitions, thanks to the involvement of a dedicated Transitions Coordinator, who is a registered nurse, and a Social Worker. This team works diligently to ensure that residents moving on from the rehab center have everything needed for continued success and well-being. Physicians affiliated with Woodside Lutheran Home conduct regular rounds to monitor the health and progress of patients and residents.
