FAMILY Reviews & TESTIMONIALS

The dining experience is just wonderful. I've sampled the food several times and find it just really outstanding compared to some of the other places. The staff are very generous with their time and easy to deal with and they have found a way to remember the names of everyone living there and even visitors like myself. The prices were lower than the other facilities and they offered an incentive to move in. She seems very happy there.

A Place For Mom

Outstanding value. Great staff. Well lit. Smells good. Very well maintained. I would absolutely recommend to others. It took my hubby about 2 weeks to get adjusted. He misses me and our life together, but loves the way he is treated by the staff.

The activities at The Woodlake Senior Living are truly exceptional! They offer such a wide variety of programs that there’s always something fun, engaging, and meaningful happening. From fitness classes and art workshops to group outings and game nights, the team does an amazing job creating opportunities for residents to stay active, social, and happy. My loved one looks forward to the daily schedule and has rediscovered hobbies they hadn’t done in years. The staff’s enthusiasm and dedication to making every event enjoyable really shine through. It’s heartwarming to see residents smiling, laughing, and connecting with one another. If you’re looking for a senior living community that prioritizes not just care but also quality of life, The Woodlake is the perfect choice. Their activities program is second to none!

A Place For Mom

The Woodlake Assistant Living Facility is an excellent facility. I had to place my mother and my aunt in memory care for the last couple of years of their lives together. The staff are very professional, dedicated, and caring. I was very comfortable in leaving my loved ones there knowing they would be very well taken care of. I visited often, different days, hours of the day and night. I got to see the staff in action carrying for my loved ones and other residents during meal times, and activity time. From the front desk to the chef are all amazing as well. The facility is nice and clean. It is well kept up. They are truly the best. I was grateful we chose The Woodlake. I recommend The Woodlake to anyone who may have to place their loved one in an Assistant Facility.

My mother was one of the early residents at The a Woodlake when they opened in 2020. She loves the friends she’s made there, the activities they have and the staff that go above and beyond every day. The facility and rooms are beautiful, like a nice hotel. The kitchen staff create a generous menu - I particularly like the breakfasts! I have stayed in various guest suites over the past 3 years as I live out of state and it’s so convenient to be onsite to have meals with her friends and take part in the nightly Scrabble and poker games! Additionally, there is a large Kaiser Medical facility within 5 minutes near Cal Expo and they’ll help coordinate Lyft rides. They have weekly shopping trips and occasional movie outings. She’s been very happy at The Woodlake, and that’s the most important thing.

The Woodlake is a first class living place for adults. I do magic shows for the residents on Halloween every year. They always have something special planned for the residents in the form of entertainment and recreation. The Activities Director, Rosa Avalon, is always doing and planning something special for the residents. I would highly recommend this place for my relatives and loved ones.

My mom has been at The Woodlake in their memory care for almost two years now. She has been so well cared for by the staff there. They are very caring and very skilled at their job. They keep the residents active and entertained while giving them a very loving/family environment. They communicate well with me in regards to her needs and well being. I feel like they are family to us. The Woodlake is clean and well decorated with plenty of staff. They provide delicious dining choices. This is not our first memory care for mom but it sure has been the best.
