“It’s all about you,” said Celeste J. Fox, executive director of The Woodlands Assisted Living. “We want you to have everything you need. When I take you on a tour, I like to walk and talk and discuss what you’re looking for. This will be your home.

“We are advocates of ‘aging in place.’ Folks move in here when they can still drive; and as you age we give you more of what you require at your advancing age.”

She added, “This is your home, you can retain your own doctor, you can keep up with your physical therapy (we have one onsite) or any of the services Medicare or the VNA have set up for you. We’re so very fortunate to have an amazing team here.”

Fox said the facility has improved and been updated under owner Advinia Care. The apartments are luxurious and there’s 24-hour assistance available for personal hygiene, medication management and even turndown service. Then she told me more about the amenities at The Woodlands for their residents. Three meals a day are included. “Our chefs cater to each resident’s dietary and nutritional needs.” They have fresh-baked goods, locally caught fish and daily pasta and soup specials, “all served in restaurant-style dining rooms.” There's an activities director, too. “You can watch a movie with friends, catch up with them in the pub or join a book club.” They have a hair salon and a spa. “We host summer barbeques and holiday get-togethers, where family and friends can join you. Once a week we host a ‘happy hour’ with entertainment. Everyone especially loves Marco on the piano because he brings his golden retriever with him!”

But the pièce de résistance has to be the Wellness Center. “The Wellness Center is a state-of-the-art gym and physical fitness center located within the Woodlands,” Fox said. “It’s open to residents offering everything you need in a quiet setting. There's a heated indoor pool, an aerobic studio, and a gym with cardio and strengthening equipment. There are group classes in the pool, plus classes like yoga, Tai Chi are available. We even have Adam in Chatham come once a month and teach ballroom dancing.

“Call me anytime to arrange a tour,” said Fox. “Ask for me or sales manager Joe Monahan. We’d be happy to show you around!”
