Assisted Living services
| Two levels of care to meet your changing needs
For those who need help with the activities of daily life, Village Wood's Assisted Living ensure safety while preserving dignity. Staff are available around the clock to remind residents to take their meds, to help them with buttons and shoelaces, and to encourage them to exercise mind, body, and spirit. Assisted Living provides the next level of help as your care needs change.
The social atmosphere is just as vibrant, and the opportunities are just as abundant. But more service allows for more peace of mind.
If you think you are ready for Assisted Living services, contact our Community Relations Director or Assisted Living Coordinator for more information. They will be able to help you take steps to evaluate the level of service you need.
When you begin needing more help, Village Woods offers two levels of Assisted Living services in our Standard and Deluxe apartments. We have licensed, 24-hour staff dedicated to residents who prefer some assistance with daily living.
Do you find yourself needing a break from the everyday care?
