Assisted Living Communities in Sheridan, WY

"My dad moved into Willow Creek of Sheridan. I like the homey atmosphere versus a nursing home. The facility smells nice. The ladies are very nice. They seem very caring. My dad has his own room, and it's a little more private, so it gives him a sense of his own space. The only thing my dad really complained about was that the food could be a little bit better. They are on top of helping me, like assisting me in how to get hospice and Medicare, which is really important to me. It's very expensive."

"I toured Westview Health Care Center which is a level above assisted living. There's a lot more activity out there than the other place I toured, but then there were a lot more people too. They're more bound to be there and they're not as active to go somewhere else, but the care was pretty good. They had a caring staff. Their telephone service was not up to par with what the older people needed to have. In the one place I was in there, it was not user-friendly, you have to dial a number in first before you can call out, and there's no memory dial for older people. The rooms were fairly bare, a person could bring in some stuff, and they're not carpeted. Their basic building was newer and has been kept up. They had bird feeders in front of each patient's window, but they don't fill the bird feeders to have the birds come, and it was hard for somebody to get around in the winter to get to the bird feeders. They don't have a central living room type thing, but they have a central dining room area for these people. So that's kind of limiting their interaction with each other."

"I toured the assisted living building, and I was very impressed. They're very pleasant and very nice people. To me, it's as close to home as you can get. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I thought the rooms were very nice. To me, it's in a perfect location because of shopping, urgent care, and eye care are close by when I need it. It's a facility that I would put a family member and myself."
