"Just Right" for Seniors

Smaller facilities tend to offer too limited and too few opportunities for interaction among residents, while larger facilities tend to have an impersonal, institutional atmosphere.

Being "just right" means residents are able to interact with others in a community setting without feeling confined, and residents are served by caring staff who know every resident by name and are familiar with each individual's personal preferences.

At Woodside/Nightingale, residents receive a full range of services, including three freshly prepared and nutritionally balanced meals daily; accomodation of special dietary needs (e.g. diabetics); organized daily social activities including supervised outings; complimentary local transportation; and assistance with all personal care and medication needs.

Woodside/Nightingale's Owner and Administrator is a Registered Nurse who is actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the facility. With her frequent on-site presence, Woodside is particularly suited for more medically complex residents such as those requiring diabetic care.

Woodside is staffed around the clock by attentive caregivers who are all trained Certified Nurse Assistants, exceeding the standards set by the Department of Social Services for residential care facilities.
