Esplanade of Woodmere

My aunt just moved into the Esplanade. I can not thank Tammi enough for all of the work, care and effort she put into making this move as easy as possible. She was consistently patient and responsive as she helped us with every detail of moving my aunt from another facility to here. She went above and beyond treating us with warmth and kindness throughout the entire process. We feel confident that this is an excellent choice for our family member.

First time visit today...came to help celebrate the 96th birthday of a family member who resides at Espanade of Woodmere. Found the facility to be very clean and bright...the staff pleasant and welcoming. Most importantly our family member expressed that she was happy here and well cared for.

When you find the right place, you just know! My father has been residing at the Esplanade of Woodmere for over a year, and we are beyond THRILLED! The building is beautiful. Everything is new and clean, and the maintenance staff is on top of everything that needs to get done. All staff show empathy and caring, and treat each resident with kindness and respect. You can tell that they want to be there, and they really make an effort to engage everyone. The food is apparently very good, and substitutions are made upon request. The most important thing is that my father says he is happy and that he likes it there very much. When he first got there, he was a shell of himself, unable to walk, sometimes just sitting in a wheelchair, staring, and drooling on himself. Now, he’s very lucid, walking with a walker, and just totally aware of what’s going on around him. It’s absolutely amazing! I feel such relief, knowing my daddy is close by, and being so well cared for, by the wonderful staff at The Esplanade of Woodmere.

I cannot recommend Esplanade enough. Hands down the best facility and staff you can ever ask for. My mom was a resident at Esplanade for almost a year, before she passed. This was the best decision I made for mom’s care. A year ago, while mom was in rehab and I realized there was no way she could return home, I started researching and visiting assisted living facilities with memory care. My search was frustrating because I could not find a facility that would accept mom. I was beyond hopeless. Then, one of the Sales Directors at another facility, suggested I try Esplanade, so I called. Within hours I had a call back from Deron who was so kind, professional, and empathetic. I live on the West Coast, so Deron offered to take me on a FaceTime tour of the facility. Then later that week, he gave my friend an in-person tour as well. The deal was sealed without ever having stepped foot in Esplanade. I was just so impressed by everyone including Hindel, and Jessica, who just made this so much easier than I ever could imagine it would be. The day I moved mom from rehab to Esplanade, I was beyond stressed. For the first time, mom did not recognize me. She was confused. The team, including Fabian, were ready to welcome her and even had a picture book of my mom’s home country of Greece, in her unit. Prior to her arrival, I worked with the team to personalize mom’s unit. It felt so good to make it her own. It was such a positive experience. I knew this was the best option for mom, and I couldn’t believe how kind and professional everyone was. Over the months, I was kept informed of mom’s progress and challenges. I always felt like mom was getting the best care by the best professionals, including the physician and psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. When mom needed a higher level of care, she would be sent to the hospital and I was kept informed of her progress. In November, after her longest hospitalization, the difficult decision to start hospice was made. True to form, the Esplanade team rose to the occasion and made the transition effortlessly. Mom hung in there longer than anyone thought she would. As difficult as all of this was, I took comfort in knowing she was being cared for, was comfortable and safe, and not in pain. The team, along with hospice, took great care of mom until the very end. I just wanted to thank and commend everyone at Esplanade for being the caring professionals they are. I can’t begin the express my gratitude for allowing my mom to live-out her last year in dignity. The work the team does is not easy, yet they make it seem so. They are genuinely the most caring professionals anyone could ever ask for.
