  My mother is a resident of Waters Edge independent living apartments and has used the Woodlands Rehab facility. The facilities themselves are top-notch and well maintained. However, the real reason one should choose St. John's is the staff. They are amazing delivering the best care and service. It is clear to see that they care very much about those for which they care! The staff is always friendly and attentive to the needs of those who make St. John's their home. Our family rests easy knowing and seeing firsthand the care our Mother receives.

  Living at St. John’s for me has been a wonderful and still blooming experience to me. i’ve lived here now for about a year. I love my privacy to do the things I love to do. I was born creative and the uncreated creation’creativity flowing through me is something that I cherish, and I’m grateful for thoroughly. I’m able here at St. John’s to do my creative hobbies. I am my own entertainment center. and life here at St. John’s allows this to happen. Thank you, john selvig
