We are at a disadvantage to give you long-term comments on how great they are, but as far as right now, the food is delicious the people staff and all medicine stuff are all very friendly, even including the cleaning girls. They've all been really wonderful, including the receptionist desk, very welcoming, very sweet and very helpful. Also the executive director which is Tonya. She's as sweet as she could be and right now we feel that we are in the best possible place for my mom, but as I say time will tell I hope this helps

The cost of caring

When you place your loved ones in a facility, the expenses add up, but having someone that is genuinely dedicated, exceeds the cost of caring. The Director at Woodmont Senior living is a true example of these actions. She goes above and beyond and then some to make sure the residents needs are met. Her leadership sets an example for her carestaff and how they should perform their duties. Not only does she care about the residents, but she has transformed the interior of the building into a beautiful welcoming place to call home. She's committed, confident and caring as she makes each day a special one for these residents. None of them have asked to be there and under her care, they are comfortable and want to be there. I am thankful that Woodmont finally has the leadership that cares.
