About Brookdale Willows Sherman

Located on three beautiful acres of greenery and landscaped grounds, you’ll find Brookdale Willows Sherman nestled in Sherman, Texas. Here, residents can live and age well by receiving assisted living services, such as help with bathing, dressing, eating, and managing medications. Residents can also receive tailored memory care assistance through Brookdale's exclusive Clare Bridge and Solace programs. The Clare Bridge program was created around 30 years ago and is designed to help residents in the mid to late stages of dementia. Through this program, residents participate in six structured activities each day to preserve their identity and sense of self. The Solace program, on the other hand, accommodates residents in the advanced stages of the disease. It provides an additional layer of care, which includes ample time for grooming assistance and incorporates sensory activities like music and aromatherapy. Regardless of each individual’s unique needs, residents and their families can find peace of mind knowing that staff is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency, and entrances and exits are monitored to promote safety. In addition to security, staff members provide assistance with chores like laundry, housekeeping, home maintenance, and meal preparation. With less chores, you can have more time to relax and explore the community. Check out a book from the library or book an appointment at the on-site beauty/barber shop. Stop by the game room, play the piano, or just sit and read in the cozy fireside living room. If you enjoy the outdoors, be sure to visit the colorful garden and courtyard for a peaceful place to mingle. Your friends and family members are encouraged to join you here, and don’t forget to bring your pet, as well! Community Services and Amenities Residents in assisted living can look forward to exciting activities like ice cream socials, bible studies, technology lessons, and off-site adventures to the Harber Wildlife Museum and the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site near Denison and Loy Lake. Residents in memory care have an abundance of planned opportunities, too. From baking classes, to karaoke, card games, brain fitness programs, and more, each activity here is designed to help residents flourish by stimulating their skills and talents. Another plus is the Personal Solutions program — if residents need soap, hearing aid batteries, or other specific items, they can simply send the team a list of what they need and the items will be delivered at no extra cost. Providing hospitality is a Brookdale priority. Living Arrangements Choose from a cozy studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartment.
