Skyline Terrace Nursing Home and Memory Lane sits in Woodstock, Virginia, having opened its doors back in 1970 when local folks got together and built something that's been here for seniors ever since, and today it's an independently owned spot with space for up to 70 long-term residents in a friendly, home-like setting. The nursing home itself offers round-the-clock licensed nursing care with registered nurses, LPNs, and certified nursing assistants keeping watch, and there's a 24-bed attached section called Memory Lane Assisted Living, made for people who need structure and special help with memory loss issues like dementia or Alzheimer's, which means there's special attention to things like activities, medication reminders, guides to keep folks from wandering, and rooms set up with safety in mind. There are both private and semi-private rooms, all with their own bathrooms and basic furniture, and you'll find kitchenettes, cable TV, and Wi-Fi so people can feel comfortable and settle in easy, while outside residents can enjoy gardens or just some fresh air on nice days.
The place runs as a full-service senior living community, which means they take in folks who need assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing or therapy, respite stays, and even some independent living with optional help when needed. Their team includes a Medical Director-Dr. Claudia Methvin-plus a Director of Resident Care who looks after Memory Lane, and an Activities Director, so there's always someone taking care of both health and what people do with their days. Everybody working there, from care staff to housekeepers, is known for being compassionate, patient, and always keeping a kind word or a smile handy, which can make a big difference for folks moving out of their own homes. They stay focused on each person's needs, helping with dressing, bathing, and eating if needed, and always trying to encourage what independence is possible, especially for those with early memory issues, while keeping everyone safe and looked after throughout the day and night.
Amenities here cover a lot, from pet-friendly living and maintenance services, to daily housekeeping and laundry help, as well as common spaces like dining and game rooms, a small library, computer center, beauty salon, fitness and wellness rooms, and outdoor gardens. The facility's neighborhood-style layout helps residents feel comfortable, with social activities, planned trips, and chances for residents to run their own groups or events, all aimed at keeping everyone's spirits high and minds active, and the Activities Director makes sure there's something meaningful, fun, or social every day. The community has been rated 4.3 out of 6 reviews and stays committed to offering fairly priced, high quality care in a private setting. People can visit to tour the buildings and grounds, meet the staff and residents, or ask questions about what life's like there, and everything's arranged to be straightforward and supportive, focused on making sure residents and families feel cared for and included.
