    Review

    Westminster Woods on Julington Creek is a lovely property with gorgeous grounds, providing a secure and enjoyable outdoor experience for residents. However, due to COVID-19, there seems to be a shortage of staff, which has resulted in the family having to follow up on requests to ensure their loved one's needs are taken care of.

    The community offers one meal a day with various choices for the residents. Additionally, each apartment is equipped with a full kitchen for the residents' convenience. The rooms also include washers and dryers, and there is a communal laundry area available as well.

    For one resident, this community proved to be the perfect choice after they lost their spouse. With all levels of care available, beautiful surroundings, friendly employees, and plenty of entertainment options, they consider themselves fortunate to live here. They appreciate the peace of mind it gives their distant sons knowing that their well-being is taken care of. Making friends comes easy in this close-knit community where everyone shares similar backgrounds and age ranges.

    The friendly atmosphere at Westminster Woods makes it an ideal place for those who cannot live alone. Residents are involved in various activities and socialize with both fellow residents and team members. In particular, they express gratitude for having a Chaplin as part of the community. This sense of companionship helps alleviate any fears about living alone.

Engaging in thorough research beforehand led them to find their ideal home within this community that offers both help when needed and independence when desired. They enjoy numerous activity choices while feeling safe within a supportive environment.

    During challenging times such as hurricanes or pandemics like COVID-19, Westminster Woods has displayed exemplary management skills according to reviewers.

    Overall impressions from residents and their families are highly positive. The community is praised for its friendly atmosphere, top-notch healthcare services, cleanliness, and helpful staff. Residents appreciate the spacious apartments, beautiful surroundings, and delicious food options. However, some potential drawbacks were mentioned, such as a lack of access to VA care or limited options for memory care.

    In conclusion, Westminster Woods on Julington Creek offers a five-star experience with its beautiful setting, supportive staff, and engaging community. Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, the facility has prioritized safety and communication with residents.
