Willow Place Assisted Living in Twin Falls, Idaho, sits in a quiet area with lovely walking paths and a peaceful garden, where seniors can enjoy the fresh air and calm surroundings without feeling overwhelmed. The place keeps a lower resident-to-caregiver ratio set by the state, with only 10 licensed beds and certified nursing assistants and licensed professionals on staff, helping make sure each resident gets plenty of attention, whether that's with bathing, transfers, medications, or just day-to-day living tasks like dressing. A full-time registered nurse is there all the time, and there's always someone on call, with a 24-hour emergency call system so residents or their families can rest a bit easier.
The building's designed to be wheelchair accessible and has safety features like handicap-accessible rooms, sprinkler systems, and emergency alert systems. There are both shared suites and private rooms, some furnished, with telephone lines, cable TV, WiFi, and kitchenettes available, plus regular housekeeping and laundry services, including dry cleaning, so no one's worrying about chores. The maintenance, cooking, and cleaning are all taken care of, and everyone eats in the dining room, where meals are made to fit dietary needs, whether that's for allergies or diabetes.
Residents have community areas like a game and arts room, a fitness center, media room, and chapel, along with a salon and barbershop for personal care, and when it's time to get out, there's transportation and parking. Willow Place puts on regular social events, movie nights, holiday meals, and other activities to help people stay busy and connected. Memory care and adult day services are available for those who need them, and staff help with walking, wheelchair assistance, and any other non-ambulatory needs.
The care at Willow Place is tailored, so each person gets a plan matched to their health and independence level, with options for assisted living, skilled nursing, independent living, or Board and Care Home settings. Medical services include medication management and coordination with outside healthcare providers when needed. The facility is authorized by the state and doesn't accept Medicare unless certified. Move-in services help families with the start, and staff can schedule tours and assessments to help figure out what's best for each new resident. The atmosphere stays home-like, with just a handful of residents, letting everyone keep their dignity and as much independence as they're able.
