We had such a great experience moving my mom into Willow Bend. Lisa worked with us to make sure we were able to make an informed decision. Nurse Amy made sure that all of my mom’s meds were in order and that all of her needs would be met. Juan gave her a tour through the facility, and Montashia introduced her to a table full of friends for lunch. Connor was so helpful in making sure her apartment was in order, and my mom felt welcomed and right at home. Thank you to all the staff for welcoming her!

Small details like helping with a recipe once loved or walking a familiar path bring comfort and a sense of purpose.

Through our Hear a Story, Share a Lifetime™ program, each resident’s history is honored and revisited. These stories guide care and deepen connections between residents, associates, and families.
