The Willows at Holmdel

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My grandmother was a resident of The Willows for a few years. The facility was very clean. It was painted to look almost Romanesque inside, and there were many doors around the premises leading to outdoor seating areas. There was a large living room across from the dining room downstairs, which seemed like the most inviting room. A television played old movies, and there was a parakeet for the residents to attend to. (Some people tried to teach it how to talk, which never happened.) The quality of the food was always very good, but often too filling, and sometimes my grandmother just wanted to eat something in particular that was not being served. There were scheduled times that food was being served.The WIllows also scheduled a lot of events for the residents. There were movie nights, small trips to local stores, crafts, bingo, and singing events. I believe they might have gotten a nintendo wii for the residents so that they could play virtual sports as well. There were a few events per day.The staff was always very nice to my family. We came to visit at least weekly, sometimes more than that.The room that my grandmother stayed in was always clean and nice. It had a small kitchen area that I don't remember getting much use, aside from storage for small food items and for the sink. There was a bathroom, and a bed/living area, where we put a couch, a dresser, and a television (to name a few things).
