WOODS OF CALEDONIA

I recently had the chance to visit my mom at her memory care community after being away for almost a year due to moving out of state. I was honestly very worried before the visit because so much time had passed, but the moment I saw her I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. She looked clean, well cared for, well fed, and most importantly she was smiling. My mom has lived at this community for almost four years now, and every time any of my six siblings or I visit, we are greeted with kindness and professionalism. One thing that really stood out to me during this visit was seeing so many of the same familiar faces still working there. That says a lot about the environment and the people who care for the residents. I especially want to thank the nurse Destiny and her assistant Britney. They are always so incredibly friendly, welcoming, and took the time to give me a thoughtful update about how my mom has been doing. It meant so much to hear about her daily routines and how they keep her engaged. You can tell that it is not just a job to those two, it is their passion and they treat my mom like a family member who is loved. Even though my mom is now almost non-verbal, you can still tell she is happy. The staff continue to involve her, keep her comfortable, and treat her with dignity and compassion. Seeing that level of care reassured me more than I can put into words. Our family is incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful community caring for our mom. Knowing she is safe, respected, and surrounded by people who genuinely care gives all seven of us peace of mind. Thank you for everything you do for her and for all the residents. We just love THE WOODS OF CALEDONIA

I want to give a shout out to the CHefs and kitchen crew at the woods of Caledonia. Each month they have a special event for the residents and their families. This month was a valentines day party. Chef Dan and his crew including Jason, Aaron, Moussa, Brooklyn and Rylee produced an amazing meal. Steak alfredo, chicken parmesan with home made breadsticks, For the kids there where chicken tenders, tater tots and kiddie cocktails. there was a hughe tray of assorted valentines day desserts including cupcakes and chocolae covered strwaberries. my mother loved the event and wanted the staff to know how much events like this mean to her. Thanks again for an excellent job and for treating your residents like family.

Hands down the best care facility in Racine. It’s a family atmosphere and the staff are so friendly. Everytime I come here I’m welcomed with smiles and love. The staff are always working and activities are very extravagant. There is always something going on. If you are looking for a good place for your loved one to live this is the one. Thank you staff at the woods for caring about your residents and loving them like family.

This community is truly a hidden gem. We started working with the Community in the summer to place our loved one, and right from the first initial contact with Kate and Destiny during assessment, leading up to finally last month when we had everything in place to move our friend in the staff went above and beyond. I was so worried that placement would be hard for our loved one, but Destiny the RN, went above and beyond to make the move in seamless. Destiny is so knowledgeable about dementia and how she approaches the disease that I could tell he was immediately comfortable. Her interventions and approach are beyond passionate. All the staff from management downstairs to his caregivers upstairs really really care. My friend who I have been friends with for a very long time has found a safe place to live, where the staff actually care about him. I love that they always have activities and dogs around for the residents to engage in, and they accept my loved one for who he is. He is eating well, skin improving, and thriving. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Woods of Caledonia for giving me the peace I need at night.

My grandmother and grandfather moved to the woods Oct of 2024. After 73yrs of marriage it was so very important for them to stay together. My grandfather passed this last April and the staff of the woods surrounded grandma with love. One person in particular stands out is Marie Rasmussen. Marie decided to adopt my grandparents. Not only is she the welcoming face that greets us by name when we come to visit. No easy task with 11 kids . She goes out of her way to visit mom and bring her meaningful gifts. When dad passed she was instrumental in having a memorial plaque placed at the base of the flag pole. She recently helped us arrange a waffle bar on a Sunday morning to celebrate her 94th birthday. When the rowdy great great grandkids knocked over and broke her Robin (a meaningful reminder of all the years the grandkids raced to see the first Robin and after they reported it to grandma she would take them out for ice cream.) Marie stepped in to restore those memories. She carefully took all the pieces and gave them to her Friend Mark who painstakingly put the robin together again and repainted it so no one could tell it was ever damaged. Precious memories restored through her thoughtfulness. They say at the woods the residents become family and I have witnessed this many times since we have been there. Now Marie is part of the Becker family as well, always room for another sister.
