The Willows Retirement Community

I liked The Willows Retirement Community for the proximity that it has to where I live now. I like the idea of the place, and I know a couple of people that live there. The staff seems very good. The building was very clean, but it was kind of dark inside. It wasn't bright or cheery. However, they have a bus service to take people places, they have movies, they have a book club, and they have a library. The rooms looked comparable to other places that I looked at.

I did a tour of The Willows Retirement Community. The food was good. We were offered a meal as part of the tour, and it was delicious. Overall, it was acceptable. I like the fact that it had a continuum of care. However, I thought it was a little expensive. I know you get what you pay for, and the continuum of care has an impact. It was wonderful and lovely, but I thought it was just a little bit too expensive for what I'm looking for. The staff were very gracious. They answered everyone's questions, were very informative, and did the job. They showed us one room, it was ground level. It had a little patio outside. The little apartment was certainly enough for one person. It wasn't oversized or anything, but it was ample for one person. During the tour, we went to the dining room, and then we went to the one apartment on the first floor. We saw what was around there, which was near the lobby. They showed us where the mail came in, and the reception desk.
