Independent Living Reviews for Holiday Willow Grove

Willow Grove seemed to be a very clean, friendly, and healthy place to live. The staff was wonderfully positive and friendly, and she appeared to love what she did. It looked like a very good home for people at different stages in life and a wonderful place to live. They seemed to really care about their clients. Everything was clean and well kept.

My aunt has been in Willow Grove for a year now, and she loves it. It's extremely kept up and clean. They have really good security, and her apartment is very nice. The whole place is just beautiful. The food is good for the most part. She says some days are not as good as the others, but it's edible, and some days it's really good. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They're very personable people. Right now with Covid, they're not doing anything as much as get-togethers and things like that. They have game nights, entertainment for holidays, and they allow you to have a pet if you desire to. They have quite a few activities. They have a hair salon on-site, and they have a washing machine and a dryer on each floor.

My friend likes Willow Grove because there's a pond and a turtle and she likes nature. If everything goes well, hopefully I will have her over there soon. We've been over there about three times. They have suggested though that she needs assisted living. She needs some help with her medications, but she knows which medication is which. The staff was very friendly and very professional. We both fell in love with them. The facade was beautiful. We got so excited when we saw the pond. It was very clean, we didn't smell anything, and the layout was wonderful. We would've tasted the food if we had gotten to go to the Oktoberfest, but I was busy with work. The grounds looked beautiful.

My visit to Willow Grove was great. They were all friendly. Several people stopped and talked to me to see if I had any questions. It was a beautiful facility. They showed me a couple of different sized rooms, talked about some activities that my mom could be involved with, and any questions I had with the cost. They told me that if she were to travel, she could go to another Willow Grove while she's visiting somebody else. They were great.

I loved Willow Grove. It was nice. It was a lovely place. I enjoyed everything. I'm trying to get my VA benefits because I don't make enough to move there right now. That's the problem. I didn't see a lot of people because of the virus. A lot of them were in their rooms. They gave us a free lunch and it was delicious. It's totally different than where I'm living now. The rooms are a lot smaller. You basically just get a room, a place where you walk through the kitchen, and then you go to your bedroom. You gotta get used to a smaller area, but there would be more activities. Your rent is a lot higher, too. You're jumping to $2,195 over there a month, and that's a big difference, even though you get three meals. I would like to move into Willow Grove, but I would have to get assistance from the VA. Other than that, everything is fine. It's a comfortable place. They got more activities The staff was nice. I met about three or four staff members in the office and then a lady who took me on a tour. They treated me nicely. Everything seemed lovely. I got to meet two other people who lived there and they were nice. They treated me well, especially the lady who took me on tour. She was really good. She toured me around and she showed me everything. She was really nice. They served the best fish I ever had. The food was good. It was delicious. I would like to go back over there for another meal. Everything looked good to me. It looked clean. The rooms were just smaller. I wasn't able to see that many people. Everybody was in their rooms because of the virus going on. I saw people outside walking around. The place was nice and clean. They have a chapel, a library, and different stuff that we don't have here. They take you to doctors' appointments and they take you shopping. If you need it, you go to the office and tell them what you need. You got better attention there. The extra money you pay is worth it. Everybody loves the food. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The apartments at Willow Grove were spacious and well lit. I saw a library. The dining facility was like a restaurant. It was spacious, clean, and nice.

I visited Willow Grove and liked it. The staff was very helpful and very easy to work it. It would be one of the places I would come back to.

The woman who showed us around Willow Grove was very accommodating, friendly, and delightful. We didn’t like the meal times because they're very different to our current lifestyle. It also was very expensive. They had a craft area, a very nice library, and areas for game playing. The place was newer and well-decorated. It would appeal to people who want nice things and are willing and able to pay for it.

My mom was in Willow Grove, and it was wonderful. The only thing they need to work on is their bus because when they take their trips, something always happens to it. Other than that, the place was beautiful. They should change the cook because the food was so bland, and the hallways could have been neater. The people were so warm and welcoming, and the staff was absolutely wonderful, on top of the people who reside there, and kind to my mother.

I posted a review regarding Willow Grove and apparently has been removed. My mother lived there over two years. This past January (2017) we moved her to another place. This was due to changes not for the better. The housekeeping was deplorable , menu never accurate or they ran out of what was on the menu. Administration put in to place " new rules" as to snacks, drinks carried to residents rooms and even where in the lobby ( which is supposed to be living area) that residents could sit! When management was no longer on site evenings and nights, safety was a concern. Best decision ever when we moved her.

The staff at Willow Grove was pleasant. The residents and the support services that they offered were very helpful. The apartment units were up-to-date and comparable to what we were looking for.

I visited Willow Grove for my grandmother. It was very nice. It was up-to-date. It was very modern and elegant-looking for the dining room. We had a meal for lunch. It wasn't just one set entrée. You had a choice of several entrées and vegetables. Everybody was very personable. The managers who took us around to show us the different styles and size of rooms were very pleasant, friendly, and answered our questions. I was very impressed, but I just don't know if my relative's long-term care will be accepted there because it is more of a retirement community than assisted living. What my relative needs more than anything is socialization, and they have wonderful activities on a daily basis. They have a big calendar in their elevator that says all their activities. They have some exercise classes, arts and crafts, and bingo. They have travel vans that will take them out to different things and take them to appointments if you put them down on a schedule they had. Also, the rooms were very roomy in comparison to one that I looked at.

I am a current client of this provider

I am currently in Willow Grove and they do have their own apartment. I am in a one-bedroom unit, but they have two-bedroom units. It’s a three-story building and my only regret is that I’m on the third floor and they only have one elevator that’s in the middle of the building. They did provide three meals a day in the dining room and the food is Southern cooking which I’m not used to, but it’s not bad. The staff was very good and they all worked together to look after the residents. There are certain activities during the day like card games, Bingo, and field trips. They have people come in and sing or entertain the residents. I’m happy with what I have now.

I'm in what they call a garden creek. It's all together. I didn’t want more than that. The staff is super nice. The activities and the activity director are just fine.

I've been staying at Willow Grove for three years now. My two daughters have chosen this place for me. It's very close to my second daughter. It's one of the smaller facilities. I have a two bedroom that I locked into at the same price as a one-bedroom. I have osteoporosis and I broke my spine by a fall, so I'm stuck here for the time being. We have three chef-prepared meals a day, and there's usually a second choice. They do pretty well, breakfast is the best. The staff is very agreeable. I have my cats; they allow pets and that's really nice.
