My family member has lived here for nearly four years and has formed good friendships with a diverse group of residents. The ownership changed in Jan 2025 and while 'fun' activities have increased, food quality and services, like transportation and a full time senior exercise trainer, has been reduced, also, room rates are being raised by approx $500/month in June 2026. High demand and high prices at decent quality assisted living facilities, so a difficult choice about moving our loved one or not.

The Woodlake Assistant Living Facility is an excellent facility. I had to place my mother and my aunt in memory care for the last couple of years of their lives together. The staff are very professional, dedicated, and caring. I was very comfortable in leaving my loved ones there knowing they would be very well taken care of. I visited often, different days, hours of the day and night. I got to see the staff in action carrying for my loved ones and other residents during meal times, and activity time. From the front desk to the chef are all amazing as well. The facility is nice and clean. It is well kept up. They are truly the best. I was grateful we chose The Woodlake. I recommend The Woodlake to anyone who may have to place their loved one in an Assistant Facility.

My mom has been at The Woodlake in their memory care which is called Opal for almost two years now. She has been so well cared for by the staff there. They are very caring and very skilled at their job. They keep the residents active and entertained while giving them a very loving/family environment. They communicate well with me in regards to her needs and well being. I feel like they are family to us. The Woodlake is clean and well decorated with plenty of staff. They provide delicious dining choices. This is not our first memory care for mom but it sure has been the best.
