WOODS SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY, THE

Joni, Linda, Amanda, and the entire Woods staff were amazing. My Mother was there for 14 months and they treated her and our family like we were their family . She stayed there until her death and I couldn’t have asked for a group of more caring and loving staff. I would strongly recommend this facility for anyone that needs assisted living for a loved one.

They recently had a COVID breakout. It’s no wonder when there is no one to staff the entrance where you will find a box of masks, a digital thermometer and hand sanitizer. You can just walk right past and not even sign in. The times I visited some staff members wore masks and some did not. They say it is a smoke free community, however that is not even enforced since there were staff members outside smoking. The so called person in charge never had a mask on and was witnessed serving food, she later tested positive for COVID. I believe the only staff members that truly cared for the patients were Mary and Donna, and I want to thank them for your kindness and caring. Check this place out thoroughly before admitting your family members. The outside is very deceiving.

My now deceased mother-in-law lived there two years, and my own mother has been there almost 2 1/2 years. It's generally a good place, and is the best in the Griffin area by far. The rooms, building and grounds are definitely better than average for one of these places, and the staff is usually pretty diligent, caring, and friendly. The food gets mixed reviews, probably because almost all of it is pre-made stuff from commercial suppliers, but it is edible. The most frequent complaint is "Not Enough Meat!", meaning real solid beef, etc. The off-site ownership and management can be a little stingy and the rent is a little on the high side. Despite the flaws, it is the best in Griffin and I feel fine about my Mother being there.

Great staff.
