We did go to the Willows. We had a very nice tour with Patrick. We saw two or three rooms and all the rest of the facilities. It was in a very nice location surrounded by trees, so it was pretty to look out the windows. They were right next to the hospital, so it was convenient. They had a beautiful patio and dining area. We met a few of the residents who were very friendly and helpful, as well as other staff. It seemed like it was very well appointed, clean, and decorated nicely.

My mother stayed at The Willows for six years. It was very nice. The grounds were kept up very well. The facility was kept up. The staff were excellent. They were super helpful. It's a lovely facility. My mother enjoyed her time there. The food was good, the quality was good, and the variety was good. My mother never had any complaints or issues with the food. The dining room was nice. They had a pool, cards, a library, movies, a reading class, and other board games and things. They had activities in the evenings, and so the activities were excellent. However, the place needed a little updating. It was very nice and very well kept up, but some aspects of it were a little tired.

I live here at The Willows (The Willows - A LifeMinded Residence). The people that work here are excellent, caring, and looking out for our welfare always, especially during this past year and a half during COVID. They have been wonderful. We have been without any COVID at all due to their diligence and seeing that we were tested and getting the vaccines. I chose my apartment and I love it very much. I've been here eight years and I still like it. I have a one-bedroom with a kitchenette, a large living room, a dining area and a deck that looks out on the back patio area. They have a large a large library both for books, CDs, DVDs, large type and regular type books, and reference books. They have an enlarger, and they have a room where they have fireplace and comfortable chairs around that. We have game rooms where all kinds of games are played like card games and board games and tile games. Now, everybody's into mahjong and bridge. Bridge is big. Then we have a place where they show movies and a huge dining room. I'm just very blessed that I'm able to live in these circumstances.

I liked the independent living style of The Willows. The person who assisted me during the tour gave no pressure and was very informative. One of the amenities was activities such as exercise and field trips. They have a patio with a cover. I think it was like a tent cover, but it was a place outside where you could have gatherings.

What my mother loves most is the in-house classes and presentation. The program staff offers a variety of exercise classes, movies, concerts, celebrations and trips to local parks, theaters, and even bay cruises. Residents share their talents offering creative writing, book clubs, classes on music, art and so much more! The staff also take residents to doctor's appointments and shopping. Since mother doesn't drive, these opportunities enhance her quality of life immensely. She feels the staff supports her in keeping physically and mentally engaged in her life. I see a huge difference in mom since she been living at the Willows. She worries less and enjoys life more! When she was trying to decide where to move, I took her to a number of places, she choose the Willows. She is starting her third year and even through COVID, when activities had to be reduced, she felt supported by the staff. Meals are served in a beautiful dining room with a thoughtfully selection. Residents can choose small, medium or large servings for their meals. Guests are welcome, sharing a meal with family or friends makes the Willows feel like home. I find the staff positive, welcoming and cooperative. I recently threw mom a birthday party in the dining room and the staff was supportive and helpful. Staff connects with the residents building and encouraging a sense of community, that can be lost so quickly as we age.

I've been living at the Willows for almost a year now. Everybody is very helpful and very cheerful. It is really a great pleasure to work with all the staff, from the waitresses to the maintenance people and to the administration. I'm almost always pleased with the food, and there's always an exception, but very rare. They have a very wide range of food. We have very few restrictions because everybody in our building was vaccinated. All the staff, all the people that come in to do extra work and all the residents were vaccinated. And it's been months, and we can get together, any number of people. If some group come from outside for entertainment, for instance, we may have to wear a mask if they're not vaccinated. I have a one bedroom apartment, which is almost as big as a one bedroom apartment I had back in New Jersey. So I have brought most of my furniture from that apartment. My son does all the shopping and we make our own breakfast and lunch, unless we want to pay for it. We have dinner as part of our rent. We had a lot of activities, we have all kinds of card games and other group games. We have lectures, we have discussion groups. I was an art teacher, and so I have been able to do some art lessons for people and now I'm going to do some art appreciation activity. They're very accepting of people who can do certain things for programing, so we have people that are part of the residents who take part in doing certain activities that they want you to. We found a second home. And I think no matter whom you ask, most people are very happy to be here, some people take part in activities and some don't, but that's up to them. I would recommend it highly. They have very nice residents too.
