    Testimonials

    Late December 2023 - early January 2024, we experienced the rehab services provided by Woodlyn Heights. From the time we entered the rehab center with the very kind and gentle help to the sweet goodbye hug, we were treated with compassion and thoughtfulness. Staff were not only efficient and responsive, they were patient and understanding of Jerry's needs. The cook is to be commended. The meals were ample and delicious. A note on the menu recognizing Jerry's birthday was a pleasant surprise. We also want to thank Carmen, Merjeetu, and a staff member from Mongolia (unfortunately we didn't get her name). They were extremely attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Brooke and Ashley did a great job with Jerry's OT and PT exercises. At every opportunity, we share the very positive experience we had at Woodlyn Heights! Thank you so much.

    In January of this year my mother was sent here for rehab. Due to having a stroke at home. She continued to have small TIAs which in turn made rehab in possible. She was than placed on hospice and moved to long term care. At first I did not always like the wait times when her call light was pressed. They were going through a transition, and as a few months went by things really turned around. My mother made some really good friends. The staff really cared about her and the family. My hat goes off to the executive director Micheal for the positive change. At first I had to be my mother's voice. I know there are reviews that has bad mouthed Woodlyn Heights. This is not fair to those that are living there or the staff. I see more smiles then frowns. My mother has sense past away a few weeks ago. I still visit and join in the activities with the other residents. Thank you Woodlyn Heights for everything you did for my mother. We were Blessed.

    Woodlyn Heights Senior Living exceeded our expectations! My mother's rehab experience was exceptional. The therapy department's transformative approach truly worked wonders. The new management, starting from the top, has done an outstanding job. Having previously visited a year ago, we were amazed by the positive changes. The care, attention, and warmth provided by the staff were remarkable. We are immensely grateful for the top-notch care and support that contributed to my mother's remarkable progress.

    The staff here always gives me a warm welcome along with a big smile. A particular aide is also one of the best workers I have seen. They not only do their job very cheerfully, but you can find them doing extra work such as cleaning the floor ad walls. Employees like her and others are very rare and usually go unnoticed. They deserve a big bonus :)

    I see a few less than stellar [Google] reviews regarding Woodlyn Heights Senior Living. Almost all of those are from several months ago. Woodlyn Heights has acquired a new Executive Director named Michael. Michael works tirelessly at this facility to bring positive change. The facility is clean and I don’t worry about my Mother when my wife and I are not there. There haven’t been any problems getting my Mother her medication in a timely fashion. It is my opinion that Michael has worked diligently to change the culture of Woodlyn Heights. I also applaud the rest of the staff for their hard work and commitment to running a great facility. Another area I would like to point out for special attention is physical/occupational therapy both do an excellent job and my Mother will be able to come home soon. My Mother has been in several other facilities some good, some mediocre, and some that should be shut down. But Woodlyn Heights is definitely a place you can feel safe sending your loved ones. I would also like to note that when walking in I never felt anything but positivity which may mean nothing to most people. But I have walked into other care facilities and just felt an overwhelming pall of misery. I do understand such a feeling is not scientifically quantifiable but I think many of us have had bad feelings about certain places. I never have had bad feelings about Woodlyn Heights and neither my Mother or her family have had bad experiences at Woodlyn Heights. I highly recommend Woodlyn Heights for the facility it is now.
