My Mother was admitted to Woodside Healthcare to receive PT/OHT before she could go home. Everyone, from Management to Housekeeping care about the patients under their care. Mom always complemented how good almost all the food was. There was only 1 dish that was too spicy for her. Thank you Woodside for caring for my Mom. Christine
