Review for The Woodlake
My husband and I moved into a 2-bedroom apartment at The Woodlake five months ago. We are quite comfortable with our living arrangements in this apartment. Also we are enjoying the companionship of our fellow residents. There are a variety of activities to participate in and we like some them. As for the food, we sometimes don't like the daily specials, but there are alternatives to order from and they are fine. We are in independent living, so we do not have the services of care takers. Overall we are pleased that we chose The Woodlake as our home.

Found the Perfect Place for My Mom
The staff are very friendly and the community has a "resort" feel. My mom was hesitant about moving into assisted living and the entire staff have made her feel at home and always check on her and make sure she knows about upcoming activities and provide a calendar and menu daily. She loves "happy hour" every Thursday and her sewing club that meets on Fridays. She has started referring to it as home and not just The Woodlake

Review for The Woodlake
So when we entered the facility the sales team was fabulous and went above and beyond to help get our family member moved in and made every effort to help make him comfortable. The staff was quick to tend to any requests and was very friendly. The ownership has recently changed and the staffing has also changed. Our family member has recently passed. Therefore there has been a lot of business to wrap up. The administrative team although very friendly...have been extremely slow as far as returning our share of the deposit. Despite repeated verification that it has been issued ..it has not arrived. We are also having difficulty getting information sent to our LTC for billing purposes. There is also problems resolving billing issues with Omnicare the pharmacy that Woodlake uses. Unfortunately this administrative side has put a negative spin on our experience at this facility.

The dining experience is just wonderful. I've sampled the food several times and find it just really outstanding compared to some of the other places. The staff are very generous with their time and easy to deal with and they have found a way to remember the names of everyone living there and even visitors like myself. The prices were lower than the other facilities and they offered an incentive to move in. She seems very happy there.

The activities at The Woodlake Senior Living are truly exceptional! They offer such a wide variety of programs that there’s always something fun, engaging, and meaningful happening. From fitness classes and art workshops to group outings and game nights, the team does an amazing job creating opportunities for residents to stay active, social, and happy. My loved one looks forward to the daily schedule and has rediscovered hobbies they hadn’t done in years. The staff’s enthusiasm and dedication to making every event enjoyable really shine through. It’s heartwarming to see residents smiling, laughing, and connecting with one another. If you’re looking for a senior living community that prioritizes not just care but also quality of life, The Woodlake is the perfect choice. Their activities program is second to none!

All our new supervisors have already been working with our residents in other roles and are the most qualified persons to provide care for your loved one.

Everything fell into place
My main contact at The Woodlake was a tremendous help and support even before I was truly interested in this property. When I contacted her a 2nd time to pursue this choice she bent over backwards to assist. My daughter and I moved my sister and her husband into The Woodlake last week. And everyone, staff and residents alike were kind, friendly and interesting. We enjoyed visiting with the residents and had a hard time pulling ourselves away to return to our home. The food is very good. The interior of the building is beautiful and full of sunlight. And there are numerous activities to pique the interest of the residents. But back to the staff. They were awesome. So helpful and gracious. Cant thank them enough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review The Woodlake. We are so appreciative of your support. I’m happy to hear that The Woodlake has made such a good impression. We are very passionate about what we do, and this could not have been done without the highest caliber staff in the industry. Thank you again, and I am proud that you and your family are enjoying our community.

Starts off great, but doesn't last.
Looks great from the sales floor when they are signing you up, but after you are in, things change. Mgmt. sucks! The food is mediocre unless corporate is visiting, and they serve lots of carbs which is not good for diabetics and anyone trying to watch their diets. If we have mom out with us past 6pm, she's locked out and has to stand outside until someone decides they want to answer the bell. That can be 10 minutes or more! The driver for trips is not a good driver, and when mom complains about his unsafe driving they just poopoo her away. In fact, anytime she complains they just treat her like a little kid whose complaints they are tired of. The bus is broke down more often than not, and they do not plan trips for people who have mobility issues. This place does not have a pool, which would make it 60% better! If you are independent, look elsewhere. The majority of the population here are using walkers, canes or wheelchairs. We made a bad decision to move mom here.

THE WOODLAKE is a great place for Mom!
I’ve been living at THE WOODLAKE for a little over three years. Time has flown! It took a little adjusting, getting used to not being on my own. I have found that I can spend as much time by myself as I want or I can be as social as I want. Everyone finds the friends they wanna hang out with. It’s like living in a very spacious house that is always clean and smells good! Not having to buy groceries is a plus. And so is having meals that are very good and nutritious that are prepared by someone else! We have a great Activities Director Who keeps us on our toes. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

A Festive Mother's Day Celebration at The Woodlake
The Woodlake celebrated Mother's Day early with a festive brunch on Thursday. A bounteous buffet of entrées and desserts to please everyone’s taste, served in a dining room especially decorated for the day. Great food, Good neighborly conversations. A lovely and thoughtful prelude to Mother’s Day. Chef [name removed] and the staff outdid themselves. It was indeed a most enjoyable event.

A Great Place To Be
As an employee of The Woodlake, I enjoy coming to work everyday. Although the building is beautiful, what makes it special are the people. To see so many happy residants is amazing. As i write this their is a Mothers Day brunch happening. To hear the joy and laughter from my office inspires me. I am grateful to be a part of this stage of life and helping people live their best life now.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Place for Mom has scored The Woodlake 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
