The Holbrook of Woodstock

Jim

We had a good tour at the Holbrook of Woodstock. The person who conducted the tour was relatively new; but nonetheless, quite thorough. We're primarily interested in independent living, but we also looked at the other level, which is assisted living. We went into the kitchen and saw the menu, but we did not try the food. It's spacious and nicely laid out. There are lots of places that you could go and eat. We went to at least two restaurants there. The facility looks very new. It's nicely maintained. They had one water leak in the place, but they were working on that. The facility was nice in terms of the layout and the care that they give the building and maintenance. The tour was well done, professionally done. The person who conducted the tour was reasonably enthusiastic about doing it and answering our questions.

My husband moved into The Holbrook of Woodstock. I think it was the timing more than anything. I was trying to get him into a place as soon as possible. They were brand new, had a vacancy in their memory care, and the rooms were brand new. We got the choice of the room that we wanted. It is a beautiful, spacious room, and it is bright. What I like least about Holbrook, I'd say only right now is that there are only two people in the memory care, and it's not as much of a social environment as I had hoped it would be for my husband. The dining area is beautiful. The food is just average; I've eaten there several times. There are only two people in the memory care right now and the activities are very few. They encourage them to go over to assisted living, but to do that, they have to have a caregiver go with them. They can't go there by themselves. So that's one of the things I talked to the manager about, that I felt that there should be, even though there's only two of them there, more activities with them. They had painting one day, that's about all I know. The place is beautiful; it's like walking into a resort. It's very spacious and beautifully decorated.

Holbrook of Woodstock was a beautiful community. The tour was amazing. They had nice facilities. They were new and we really enjoyed that tour. It's a nice-sized property and they offer a lot of amenities. We also had lunch there and it was amazing too. The staff and the apartments were great. Joy was absolutely amazing and they offered so many different things there.

Holbrook of Woodstock is brand new. They offer cottages for people like my mom who doesn't need the care yet. They offer assisted living, which are apartments, and they have 26 different floor plans to choose from. They had the memory care as well and they had all these places to sit outside. They have games outside like bocce ball and corn hole. They had outdoor fireplaces and a garden. They told us all about their amenities. They had a grand piano inside the dining room. I was very impressed, but I don't know if my parents can afford that though. We also saw the cottages. I think that was in the independent living.

I have only seen the cottages at The Holbrook of Woodstock because the building wasn't open yet. They have 16 cottages, and of their private cottages there are only 2 large 3-bedrooms. They're beautiful, very well-equipped, and the whole place is very nice. It's fairly expensive as well, it's around $6,000 a month for a couple but everything is included. They're going to have many things, and you get 700 for food at their restaurant. They have 3-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms and 1-bedroom apartments, and the price would depend on the apartment that you have. It's very nice. Everything was discussed during the tour, and we asked questions. The place itself was very attractive.
