Diamond Willow Assisted Living & Memory Care is a senior living community with locations across Minnesota, including a site in Little Falls called Diamond Willow Little Falls 1, where the building sits close to the banks of the Mississippi River and near historical places and natural surroundings, which means residents can enjoy outdoor recreation or take in local sights around town, and it seems like every location-whether in towns like Cloquet, Proctor, Park Rapids, Mountain Iron, Duluth, Grand Rapids, or Detroit Lakes-sits near lakes, woods, or other peaceful areas that make it feel homey and familiar, as these places always have a warm small-town feel and accessible outdoor spaces.
They offer both assisted living and memory care, along with respite care for those needing a short stay, and they focus on supporting residents who need help with daily activities or have memory challenges like Alzheimer's or other dementias, which means memory care here comes with extra safety features to reduce confusion and prevent wandering; staff are available all day and night, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, which keeps things secure. The rooms are studio layouts, furnished, and come with features like telephones, good lighting, and nice views, and some have unique names like Eagle Pine Suites, Mississippi Suites, and Lester River Suites, which makes it easy to remember and gives a personal touch to each space, and folks say the community layout and room sizes work well for getting around and feeling comfortable.
The assisted living services cover medication management, bathing, dressing, and help with moving about, which means people can keep their independence while getting support when they need it, and care is personalized for each resident through work done by on-site directors and dedicated staff. For those needing memory care, they've got a program that's designed to engage people physically, emotionally, and socially, with daily activities tailored to keep everyone as active and connected as possible, and all this happens in spaces planned for safety and security.
Amenities are what you might expect in a modern assisted living and memory care place, because there are indoor common areas, furnished rooms, a dining room where chefs and meal planners put together nutritious meals-including options for special diets-transportation and parking, an emergency alert system, and full housekeeping and laundry services to keep things tidy. Outside, there are raised gardens, a gazebo, walking paths, and garden areas so people can enjoy time in the fresh air, while inside you'll find an arts room, a barber and salon, and spots for devotional services and community-supported activities like movie nights and resident-led gatherings.
Diamond Willow Assisted Living & Memory Care holds an average community rating of 8.5 out of 10 from reviews, and while specific amenities might differ from site to site, every location aims to provide a home-like, safe, and supportive atmosphere. They make it easy to schedule tours, ask about room availability, and get up-to-date pricing, and the main office runs weekdays from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The facility is part of a larger network managed by A Place for Mom and offers a range of healthcare services, including incontinence care, diabetic care, help for non-ambulatory residents, and coordination with outside healthcare providers, which adds to the peace of mind for families and residents alike.
