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.

I am extremely disappointed with The Woodlake Senior Living regarding a $3,500 deposit I paid. On June 13, I submitted a formal refund request via email, following instructions provided by a staff member named Steve, who stated the refund would be processed within 30 days.<br><br>Since then, I have followed up multiple times. I sent emails on June 30, July 17, and July 21, and I also called the facility several times. Despite these efforts, I have received no refund and no meaningful update. It has now exceeded the promised timeframe.<br><br>If this facility is unable or unwilling to process a simple refund, how can I trust them to provide proper care for my grandmother or any other loved one? At this point, I am left wondering whether this is simply poor management or a deliberate attempt to keep my money. Either way, it raises serious concerns about their integrity and business practices.<br><br>I hope this review prompts leadership to take action and resolve this issue immediately.
