A Letter of Thanks<br>August 18, 2026<br>As we enter our third year at Wooddale Village, we want to express how truly grateful we are<br>for the wonderful staff and the welcoming community you have created for us.<br>Wooddale has given us a beautiful, comfortable environment that feels much like a college<br>campus, with lovely grounds, trees, grass, swimming pools, fountains, and nearly a mile of<br>walking paths. These surroundings allow us to continue enjoying an active and independent<br>lifestyle while also having valuable services available as we age.<br>Our apartment feels like a condo, giving us privacy and the ability to come and go as we<br>please. At the same time, we can enjoy the dining hall, activity rooms, workout rooms, library,<br>and bistro with coffee, tea, and ice water.<br>We also appreciate the many conveniences available to residents. The Sun City area is close<br>to Union Hills and 99th Avenue, and Wooddale helps residents stay connected to the<br>surrounding community through transportation and outings. Bus service to activities,<br>shopping, Safeway, Fry's, Walmart, Kohl's, and other destinations makes it easier to take care<br>of personal needs while remaining independent.<br>Most importantly, the staff always makes us feel welcome. Residents are encouraged to share<br>in activities if interested, yet our privacy and independence are respected. Knowing that<br>24-hour security is available gives us peace of mind, and it is reassuring to know that<br>additional support can be arranged when needed, including meal delivery, healthcare<br>services, physical therapy, housekeeping, companionship, and other caregiving assistance.<br>Our family is always welcome to visit, share a meal with us, and see firsthand the environment<br>in which we live. They can feel confident that we are in excellent hands.<br>We are also thankful for the friendships we have made here. Some residents have been at<br>Wooddale for more than ten years and generously share their wisdom and experiences with<br>us. Whether it is morning exercise, breakfast together, cards and board games, or visits from<br>our family, we have been able to continue creating meaningful memories.<br>A caregiving agency is also available on campus to accommodate individual needs, including<br>hygiene assistance, additional housekeeping, and companionship. It is comforting to know<br>those services are available if and when they are needed. Wooddale Village has truly become a place we are thankful to call home. Thank you to the<br>staff, residents, and everyone who works each day to make this community such a warm,<br>safe, and caring place to live. We are grateful for the opportunity to age here with<br>independence, dignity, friendship, and grace.<br>With heartfelt thanks,<br>Jim and Marie
