Adams Woodcrest Assisted Living is a home away from home, providing seniors with enough options to help them feel comfortable and in control even when they need some help or no longer want the burden of living alone.
Woodcrest, 1300 Mercer Ave., Decatur, Ind., offers something for everyone while making each person feel cared for and well-attended to, says Susan Sefton, director of community outreach for Adams Health Network.
“At Woodcrest, each person sets the rhythm of their own day,” she says. “We know what is routine for one person is not the same for someone else. The ability to live your life as you have known it will continue with the support of an experienced and attentive staff.”
Residents have opportunities to mingle and make friends, retreat into the privacy of their own apartment, take a walk in the woods, work in the garden, or sit under a pergola to enjoy the view. They can enjoy the company of family and friends, learn a new hobby, and nurture their own interests, Sefton says.
“The physical design of our building and our philosophy for living combine to make Woodcrest a truly charming place to live,” she adds. “We have a setting that is perfect for every senior. Some are more social and others like to be tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The views are inviting and diverse. The Main Street view is filled with activity, the courtyard provides a serene view of peace and quiet, and the forest offers an unparalleled view of nature.”
Woodcrest is in a country setting full of wildlife and seasonal flowers, and the wooded areas have paved paths for breathtaking views of nature.
Woodcrest is staffed by a highly skilled team committed to giving residents all the freedoms they are used to in daily living, embracing both privacy and rich social opportunities, Sefton says.
Rather than traditional planned activities, daily life is geared to the resident’s interests, whether that be sports, music, exercise, social events or quiet evenings with friends, she adds.
Some of the services offered at Woodcrest include medication reminders, three meals a day, menu choices, varied eating times, life enrichment, laundry and housekeeping services, respite care, transitional care for those rehabilitating from an injury or illness, and more.
A large dining room provides delicious homemade meals while the smaller Bistro is where residents go to play cards or games and enjoy a snack with family and friends. There is a community room for friends and family to gather, a beauty salon, transportation to events and medical appointments, a baby grand piano and more.
“Assisted living is about showing compassion in everything we do,” Sefton says.
