Tanglewood Assisted Living sits in a quiet part of Woodstock, Illinois, and offers many types of care, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, home care, short-term respite care, and skilled nursing. The place has both private and semi-private apartment units, including studios with their own bathrooms, and the buildings feel home-like and welcoming. Tanglewood has a community feel, with dining areas where residents share chef-prepared meals and snacks, and the kitchen staff can handle special diets if needed. There are indoor pools for exercise and relaxation, outdoor patios, walking trails, and gardens where residents often join the gardening group or just find some peace.
Residents have access to many activities like game nights, offsite trips, scheduled entertainment directed by an activities director, and even resident musical groups that play for others in the community. The library, common areas with TVs, computer access, and rooms wired with cable are there for daily use, and a team helps set up social and recreational events to keep everyone engaged. For those who value religious practice, Tanglewood holds in-house services, and everyone can invite guests to visit during mealtimes.
Tanglewood is pet friendly and offers a supportive environment no matter what kind of care a resident needs. They have specialized Alzheimer's and dementia programs, including 24-hour staff trained in memory care, and a registered nurse oversees health monitoring and medication management for each person. The licensed and trained staff are always there to help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, laundry, and housekeeping, plus there's help for doctor's appointments. Residents get free transportation, haircuts, and barber services on site. Laundry and dry cleaning for both clothes and linens are part of the package, and the pricing covers everything.
Tanglewood accepts Medicaid and offers cost assistance, including help with VA benefits and financial advice. There's an online application, and tours are easy to set up to see the apartments, sample menus, and activity calendars. The staff try to treat everyone with compassion and respect, making sure care plans fit each person's needs. Security runs 24 hours a day, and the facility stays open every day of the week. Tanglewood, as a nursing home that's locally owned and operated, focuses on providing a safe, nurturing, and respectful place for elderly residents and their families.
