What a wonderful facility Woodbridge Nursing home is. Our Dad was there for the last stage of his life. He was in the Wintergreen unit. I have never met a staff with more compassion then the Woodbridge staff has. The staff made sure he was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. They would come in and ask what more they could do for him or us and sit with us. They never acted like they did not have time for each patient. Thank you so much for all the care we all received. I would recommend this facility to everyone if you want wonderful compassionate care for your family member

The Woodridge facility is top notch. Patients are treated with dignity and respect. Patients are not just a number. The quality of care my dad received, deserves a 5 star + rating. I have dealt with other facilities and none of them compare to Woodridge. They provided the complete package ... dad received A+ care, they had compassion for our family and the business office was very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. You couldn't ask for better nurses and staff. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

We recently had the privilege of getting a first hand experience with this outstanding facility! I want everyone to know we too were concerned with only a 3.8 star rating compared to other facilities! So we asked around as we all want the best for our loved ones. After a few inquiries we found out it was from one very bad review a few years ago, but unless things have changed 100% I do not see where anyone can give this place anything lower than a 4.9 at worse. Ya see I had a 90 year old father in-law that was there for rehab to get back healthy enough to return home after a couple operations. Again we did some research and decided we wanted him to attend rehab there. We have absolutely no regrets on our decision either. This facility let's you know that you as a family are going to be taken care of, first was dad, then immediately before leaving the room every nurse always asked if we as the family needed anything . If we had any questions they were answered in vocabulary that we understood, not in just medical term and words, also if we wanted anything at all they obliged immediately. Under the circumstances of nothing to do with Woodridge he was never able to recover return home! But again we have never had such a wonderful experience as we have at Woodridge! Very highly recommended and if we ever had to decide where for any other member of the family we won't hesitate to have our loved ones be taken care of at Woodridge!

I went to Woodridge for orthopedic rehab. The staff are very pleasant and professional. The physical and occupational therapists and the entire nursing staff are top notch. They take a holistic approach to care and I appreciate this. The physical plant while not new, has natural light and superior cleanliness. The food is quite good and very healthy, customized to the patients needs. The dietitian is wonderful and knowledgeable. There's hot coffee and healthy snacks available 24/7. PT/OT and nursing kept me busy from 5am to 5pm. For me, the experience was like a combination hospital and hotel with, attentive staff focused on improving one's health.
