Willow Springs Alzheimer's Special Care Center

Willow Springs Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a very good facility but very expensive. My husband has been there for two weeks. I've been there when he's eating and the food is very good, they serve them like in a restaurant. He's got a very good room, it's very clean and looks just like a home. The building itself is well-maintained, they have a family room, a TV room, and activity areas. The people seem very happy. They have outdoor and garden projects, they entertain them in another room where they can read and do puzzles, and they have a TV room. They have some transportation, like if they had to go to the hospital or something like that. Otherwise, people come into them for things like blood draws, and a nurse is there. But they don't have transportation to go to stores or things like that. Sometimes people go there like they had a car show and people went there so that they can look at the different cars and things like that. There's an area where they go out and they have a hummingbird feeder and they have places for them to sit out like a patio. The activities director told me that this summer they're going to try to see if they can plant flowers and vegetables, but it's not something that they do all the time. It's just a summer activity.

The experience during my tour at Willow Springs Alzheimer’s Special Care Center was good. The staff was great and very friendly. Their rooms are very nice, it's a clean and large community. It looked like a large hotel inside. Everything about the place was nice, very pleasant and upscale lots of help. It's in a good location in town. It's very much worth checking in to, the people are nice and the staff, it's a really nice place. It's more expensive than what we're expecting, but if you have the extra money it's great. It's a lot nicer than the place we chose.

My uncle is now at Willow Springs. It is good, clean and caring. They have water on-hand at all times. The staff members are wonderful people. The food is very good and the dining area is always so peaceful. They either got TV or music on, which is nice to hear. The residents are all happy. Cleanliness is excellent. They have a beautiful place that we can go outside, which is nice. They have activities. They do games, they sing, they do nail day for the ladies, they shave and clean the men up, and they have hair day. It is expensive though.

The decision to entrust a loved one's care is a very difficult and emotional choice. I knew that I could no longer take care of my wife, but still the decision was difficult. When I finally reached out for help I happened to check out Willow Springs and I am so glad I did. The staff has been exceptional with their care and attention to my wife. As she progresses through the stages of Alzheimer's they understand what she is going through and, as a consequence what I am going through as well. Alzheimer's is not a one person disease; it affects everyone in the family. At Willow Springs I have found additional family members (the staff) that help my wife and I go through this. I do not believe there is a better care facility in Redding, CA. The rooms are cleaned on a regular basis, my interaction with the staff has always been absolutely positive. The residents are given many choices for activities; music (live performers, music played on a regular basis), craft activities, i.e. art, flower arranging and many others. In short, Willow Springs is a first rate care facility with first rate staff.

Went to see my grandma today and was pleased to see all the staff in great moods. There’s a new nurse there Dominick that was fantastic and was running and helping everyone. Very happy to see them hiring nurses that care. The staff even seemed in better moods than normal. Grandmas room was clean and presentable as well. Huge change in atmosphere since my last visit

Willow Springs is specifically a memory care unit. We visited on a weekend, and it felt tired, even though the building didn’t seem old or rundown. It was a fairly new facility but, in general, it had a heavy feeling about it. I think they had a lot of residents who were further along in dementia and Alzheimer’s, so that impacted the feeling. It had a basic dining area with fairly nice furniture. It was not a huge facility so it wasn’t a very big room, but it was adequate. The weekend staff seemed fairly well trained. There weren't amenities because it was strictly memory care.
