Brookdale Willows Sherman

Linda

My husband and I are residents of Brookdale Willows Sherman. One of the things that we like most is the community and being a part of it. We're currently redecorating the inside and outside of the building, partly because of how hard our winter was. The trees and plants that have been here for a long time suffered from that. And now it looks nice and springy. We have a library and a beauty salon. We have a community garden area where residents can work with plants. Some of them in the ground and some of them in raised gardens, not vegetables, but flowers. For the most part, the staff is cheerful, polite, and caring, and everybody just works well together. Everything that the residents have talked to the staff about in a regular sit down together talks, everything that has been lifted, I think, has been or is being addressed. We have a lot of new people move in and that's taken a lot of extra time from the staff. But the residents don't seem to be suffering from it at all. It just adds to the community, I guess, would be the best way to describe that.

My mother in law LOVES Brookdale. The staff is amazing, friendly, and always provides fun to the seniors living at Brookdale. Tyler goes above and beyond for the residents at Brookdale. My Mother In Law is thriving there. I highly recommend Brookdale.

Our experience at Brookdale Willows Sherman has been very good. They've been very attentive, caring, kept us abreast of everything about my father-in-law so we’ve been very pleased with the care. He's in the memory care section, and they check on him a lot. They have some little craft things and they get them up and moving. The staff is right there, and everything I have asked for they have done very quickly. They're very responsive and caring.

I know the director and visited with her several times about placing my dad here. We would have placed my dad here is it hadn't been in Sherman. He still drives and wanted to be in Denison.

My impression was the Willows was quite what I expected and similar to a home care, similar to a nursing home. They were located conveniently, the building, the parking, the amenities were nice, and well, what we would expect. They have apartments and things in it. There was a 2-bedroom and 1-bedroom. It was clean and nice and the people were good. They were conscious and trying to do their job. We were aware of what they can do and if we get to the point where we need that, we will make the move.

I looked online and I found The Willows. It's a pretty nice place and it's also clean. They have big studios. The staff were very nice and helpful.

We are very pleased with Willows at Sherman. My mother has been there for about three months now. What I like the most about the facility is the look and the feel of it was nice. The rooms are very clean and they feel a little bit more modern than the ones we looked at before. Their assisted living program includes everybody even taking into consideration those residents that are in their wheelchair, so everybody gets to be involved. With regard to their food, it is probably not as good as what she had at the other senior community, but it seems to be fine and I don't think there is any problem with it. This community also has a specialty in memory care. It is in the same building but in different separate section. It is a lockdown facility so that people won't wander away. I think that this facility comprehends memory care a little bit better than they had at other places I went to. She is not in that facility just yet, but when the time comes, she can just migrate to that without having to move her to another community. In general, we are very happy with this place.

Had a wonderful experience with all the staff. I enjoyed visiting with my family there it never felt like you were in a "facility" but you were at home. There were always events to attend but they where never forced it was not dull and stuffy and seemed to be always full of life. Very comfortable feel when you walk in the door. Staff was always available and easy to locate when needed management included !! would recommend to my friends and family . and always CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN

The facility was clean and looked like home. The staff was very friendly and attentive to the residents. Several times through out the visit the staff even asked if we needed anything. Many of the other facilities I have been in have a distinct smell. You know now the kind of smell that says, "this is a nursing home." The smell has not as prevalent here. All care facilities are going to smell like disinfectant, but it was not overwhelming. The sister seemed very happy with the care she was given and that put us all at ease. When she passed the staff was very cordial and expressed what could only have been true remorse for what the family had gone through.

The staff was incredible. I have been to other assisted living facilities that were very cold and hard to visit. I felt very comfortable visiting my grandpa. The staff took great care of him. Some places make you feel like you are leaving your family with babysitters who just make sure your family member is cleaned once a day. That is not the case here. We all felt very comfortable.
