The admissions director was understanding as well as most helpful. The nursing staff was thoughtful, attentive and compassionate. The general staff was friendly, pleasant, and helpful. The building is old but what stood out were the values expressed, in the daily interactions among staff and residents.

As soon as you walk through the door you instantly feel at home. Just watching the quality of care given by the staff and management team is extremely heart warming. It’s the small things for me such as watching the one on one interactions with all the residents. No matter how busy everyone is they all take time to greet everyone with a good morning and ask how they are doing. Good job Westwoods you’re truly an amazing place !!!
