Traditions at North Willow was a nice facility. I think my problem was the main area. For someone who can't see, there was a lot of stuff and I was kind of concerned about that, but it was clean. We did a walk-through. We just did not get to see an apartment or eat there either, and it was a little farther, maybe 15 to 20 minutes from me. Price-wise, it was $6000 to $7000 for a one-bedroom. Everyone was nice. We got to see a studio and had my loved one walk around with me. She wanted a door to her bedroom and there was not a one-bedroom available for us to see at the time. They only showed us a studio and she wasn't feeling it. I saw that most of the people there were able to get out and about on their own. There were some that even still drove. They had a beauty shop and exercise equipment. I only met the person who took us on the tour and one other person, the activity person, and they were fine.

I've already moved into Traditions at North Willow. I love it. It's fairly new. The independent living are villas. You've got everything you want. Most of them are two-bedroom, two-bath, and you've got a garage and your own laundry facility. The neighbors and the community are great. The dog park is right across the lane from my villa. There's a club facility here for the villas. We have a euchre club. We had a block party last week. If we want, we can go over as part of our cost and have 30 meals a month at the big building. It's where the assisted living and memory care units are. They have transportation to get you to and from doctor's appointments. Everything is paid for except for your insurance on your personal belongings. It's not cheap, but the quality is amazing. Interaction with the staff is great. They went out of their way to make the transition. I came right from rehab and my kids moved me in and I'm pretty happy. They have transportation to physical therapy. They have church services. They have music where they bring musicians in. It's just a full-service community. There have been two families since I moved in who have decided that going to assisted living is what they should do and they'd have, so it makes it easy to just slide right over. It's a wonderful place. My next-door neighbor is moving over this week to assisted living and his wife who had fallen and injured herself and had been in rehab will follow him over to assisted living in about a week or so. They won't have to worry about having problems because of their age. It's pretty great. I can have my small pets here. I've only had one meal from there. I get Kroger to deliver food and make my own meals. They serve dinner early like 4:30 and I'm not ready to eat at that hour. I'm still in a wheelchair, so getting over to the big building is not easy. I don't go over and eat in the dining room either. I love their activities. They have cards, exercise classes here on the villas, and little excursions because they've got a bus where they can take groups. They have a couple of card clubs. They also bring in a musician from Carmel. He's wonderful and he comes in twice a month and plays some wonderful music. What's interesting is at the block party last week, the chef came over and did the cooking out on the grill and stuff, and it was great, the potato salad and the hamburgers and stuff, and yet it's the same chef that cooks your meals over at the dining room. He did a bang-up job at the block party. It was good.

I went to look at Traditions at North Willow. I thought it was beautiful, but I couldn't afford it. It was too expensive. The facility was large and homey. I met the activities director, and she seemed to be very enthusiastic. Independent living has individual cottages, and I like that. The one I saw was empty, so it wasn't set up, but it was large.

We toured Traditions at North Willow. I looked at the villas. I like the floorplan. I like the location. It was close to the hospital, and it was close to the rest of my family. Location was a big item for me at this point. But it did not have up to a skilled level, and it did not have any physical therapy, so I ruled it out. They have a building where they have apartments. They have memory care and assisted living. At this point, I was looking mainly at the villa. I like the villas, but when I saw that if I would go into a hospital and come out and need physical therapy, I would have to go to another establishment, I thought, no, that's not what I'm looking for. They offered a meal package. The staff were very nice. The facilities were very clean and very well done decoratively. I went into the chapel, and that was another thing. It was closer to the church that I could go to. They did have a church service once a week there in the villas of the faith that I'm in, and so that was appealing to me. There was nothing wrong. They were more than gracious and they bent over backward to let us get in to see a villa. However, they didn't offer me everything that I needed.

I toured Traditions at North Willow. The rooms were nice. They were set up like apartments, and not a hospital. They have different activities every day. They have a beauty shop there, they have physical therapy, and they have doctors there, so my mom wouldn't have to go to a family practice doctor. She could get a medicine prescription and see a doctor there. The staff was very nice.

My mom is moving into Traditions at North Willow. I thought it was a pretty good place. I thought that it was well-kept, and they seemed to be very strong in programing for memory care, which is what we were looking for. It's very pretty, very well done, and is a nice place. It doesn't look like a nursing home and has a homey feel. I was very pleased. As far as my mom's room, it's nice and spacious. There's a couple of windows for a lot of light to come in. I like the way it's set up. I noticed that they have a lot of things going on, even in their assisted living. They have a little movie theater, and I believe they have a snack bar and that kind of thing. It's clean and decorated very nicely. It doesn't look dark, and it looks like a really nice inn. It looks like a community. I was visiting and my mom's not there yet, but as far as I could see, everyone was very, very nice, and very polite. I also like that they they're updated, and the environment is very nice. They also have a lot of programs going on. There was some mixed communication that I found with the person that I'm actually moving in with. That's the only thing that I noticed, but I think they did a very good job with the tour. I only spoke to the marketing person, and I met the nurse. The tour experience was excellent. They did a very good job, and it's one of the reasons that I decided on that place. It's really nice. I think the only reason that I probably would give it a four instead of a five is because their memory care is not on the first floor. It's up there on the third floor, and I think the other thing maybe, and I kind of understand why, was that the bedroom isn't carpeted, so I'm buying an area carpet for my mom.

My brother will be moving into Traditions at North Willow. This was the second place we visited; they asked for $2500, he signed the paper, wrote them a check and that's where he chose. We had a couple of other places with appointments, but he chose them after that visit. So we went ahead and canceled the other appointments. He liked the facility itself. We were shown around by the director who took us through all of their programs, the cafeteria, and apartments. Then she showed us the 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa, which is what he decided on. That's why we went with them, it's because they had a villa available. He doesn't need assisted living, so he wanted to be as independent as he could; and by moving into a villa that allowed him to be more independent. It's beautiful. It's 2-bedroom, 2-bath, with a living room, a kitchen, and a 1-car garage. He doesn't drive, but they're going to try to get him a motorized scooter to get around because he's a stroke patient. He'll be able to park that in there. It was handicap accessible, so he could get in and out of the shower easily. They were going to paint it and put new carpet before he moved in, so he could make it his own, which is nice. We met with the director, Libby; and then Alison also followed up with me. Then this week, a gal named Katie called me, she's the move-in coordinator. So, as soon as his COVID is gone, we will coordinate through her to move in. It seems like it's going to be seamless and that's what we wanted, something for him to enjoy. We did not try their food, but we looked at the menu. With the villa, he only gets one meal a day, so he will probably choose breakfast because that's his favorite meal. He'll have a kitchen in his villa; he can do some basic cooking. She showed us the theater where they show movies. She talked about a group, the single men; they go out once a month. She talked about a happy hour on Thursday. They go shopping, and they go to other places. So, he's not just in his villa all the time, he can participate with other people. Although he will be one of the youngest people there because he's only 63, the only reason we had to do this is because of the stroke. He will be one of the youngest residents, but I don't think that'll bother him. It was impeccable. The rooms were spotless, and we met the cleaning crew. The villa that we looked at had not been painted, and she assured us that everything would be painted, and carpets would be replaced. The upkeep is wonderful, and they'll help him change his bed every other week; so that is a big deal too. He did not want to leave his home, and now he's excited to move, so that means a lot. It was beautiful. The library was beautiful. There are computers for him to use. They have all the modern conveniences that he could use.

I already signed up with Traditions at North Willow. I liked the fact that I could have my own separate apartment. They're called villas. It's a two-bedroom with attached garage, and I liked having the attached garage. The community relations director was excellent. The apartment I'm moving into is brand new. Nobody's lived in it. It has two bathrooms, a fairly large modern kitchen, and washer and dryer. It's a very nice place. Their dining room isn't open yet from COVID. I looked at their brochure, and the food sounds pretty good. With your rent, you get 30 meals a month and breakfast any time of the day. 30 meals a month means you can have one a day or if you're eating somewhere else, you could have two in one day or whatever, so it's pretty flexible. They have a lot of things going on, and the people in the apartments are pretty friendly. They have an onsite activities director, who coordinates a variety of activities and many outings based on their residents' interests including musical entertainment, special holiday celebration, and summer cookouts. They have an exercise program every morning at 10:00. They do exercise in the main building, arts and crafts, bingo, Bridge games, cooking, daily happy hour, outings to local restaurants, and holiday shopping. They have a lot of things that you can do. I basically just saw the unit I'm going to move into and the model unit. It's very clean. I didn't really tour the main building where they have memory care and assisted living. This place is new. It's only four years old.
