Willows Bend Senior Living

[name removed] and I are very happy here at Willows Bend Senior Living Center. The place is well kept and everyone is so friendly. We get weekly flyers on what's going on to include outings. Staff even came to visit me when I was in the hospital. I feel welcome here and appreciated. We are so glad to have found this place through A Place For Mom

Friendly staff and nice community

The staff is friendly. However it is a money grab for any additional help. I.E. you pay for reminders like taking medication, but they charge more if the staff needs to stay to make sure it gets completed.

Willows Bend Senior Living review

The head nurses are great. Always keeping me up on things. Most are super nice. Its a nice building with nice looking rooms. Some little issues with meals but seem short staffed at times. Room sizes very per persons need. Many different styles. Very modern. Activities are good, just not my Dads style. He likes sing-alongs which they don't have.

Our families experience

Friendliness of the staff members, wonderful activities and entertainment, all of the natural light, easy access to major roads. We would highly recommend Willows Bend. The friendly staff is very communicative regarding the activities and entertainment. We moved here (after touring 4 other communities) for our next phase of life and we're very happy to be here.

Clean and quiet

There are very few activities offered. And when they are maybe a handful of people attend. That is very disappointing. Otherwise it's a nice building - it is very clean and quiet.
