Nurse forgets it is assisted living and not a nursing home or hospital . If your relative is very capable she seems to want to make her dependent on her . Some of the food could be better . People are very friendly and loving . Rooms are nice and decorations in the entire place are very nice . . We research 6 places in the area and liked The Woodlands the best .
