Review for The Willows at Raleigh

My mother had a bad transition because of stress but staff has been helpful. My parents are disappointed in some of the food but overall it is a great place.

I was most impressed with the facility. My son will visit me next month, and I plan revisiting the Willows with him.

I would recommend unless they want a big outdoor space

I really like the common areas and great apartments. They do not deliver food from the kitchen to the apartments.

We needed to place our sister quickly before discharge from Hospital. [name removed] and [name removed] were very helpful to our family and she is now in good hands! The communication by phone and email was very prompt and the choices offered were very helpful for comparison.

I toured this place and was very pleased with the property the cleanliness and the people. It really was a joy to tour. It is fairly priced but still high for what it offers. Studios are very small, activity rooms aren’t very large, but the gym is very nice and seems to be set up for PT as an option. The staff were amazing, and I even spoke with a few residents who seemed very, very happy.
