PositiveStaff/care, activities, food, cleanliness, and room size are all great. I don't think there's anything more from these areas that I could ask for more. The only thing I would change if I could is not knowing from the very beginning that there would likely be additional charges for her care. I was caught completely off guard. I did see where there could be additional charges, but nothing was brought to my attention until after plans were made to have her move in.

PositiveThe staff at Wildwood was extremely helpful when we visited Wildwood Communities. [name removed], the Senior Living Director was super helpful and friendly and very attentive to my mom during the visit. She even suggested coming back for a “Happy Hour” or Bingo to get to know the residents since she knows how much a change it would be.
