I recently visited Woodbury Senior Living and was extremely impressed. The community is beautiful, welcoming, and the staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. The community recently had a renovation and looks amazing! I would highly recommend Woodbury Senior Living.

I wanted to add to my previous review and give special recognition to two people who constantly go above and beyond…thank you to Christine and Tess. Christine is so caring and helpful. She always goes out of her way to accommodate the needs of the residents. Tess’s energy and hard work is so impressive. She is a ray of sunshine. Her activities are fun and awesome. Everybody is wonderful. Thank you to the incredible staff at Woodbury Estates

We are so happy and grateful we found the Woodbury Villas for our dad. The staff is kind and easy to communicate with and have embraced our dad like a family member. It is a relief to know that he is being well cared for when we are not around. There is always a calendar packed with activities and that makes it hard for Dad to get bored if he doesn’t want to! Also, a huge thanks to Christine. She’s been phenomenal. She made all the paperwork and move in easy, she’s knows every resident at the facility by name and is always there for a genuine hug for residents and family members. Her heart is huge and made of gold and you can tell she loves her job and the people there!

I cannot say enough about Christine and the help she gave my family and I when we were looking at placing our parents in assisted-living. Both of my parents were absolutely not wanting to go to assisted-living and we have been talking to them about it for a couple years. When we met with Christine, all of their questions were answered, and they actually left there excited to be moving into Woodbury assisted-living. She truly is an asset to Woodbury Senior living, and I’m so grateful she was able to assist us with this!
