Willow Wood Apartments

Willow Wood Apartments | An Ecumen Living Space stands at 3441 Willow Ave in White Bear Lake, MN, and offers seniors a range of living and care options, so residents can choose between independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing depending on their needs, and it's tied to the Ecumen network, which gives different levels of support. The apartments cater to seniors who want to live on their own but need a little help, with maintenance-free units, personal care assistants for daily activities, medication support, scheduled transportation, and bathing or dressing help if someone needs it.

There are affordable HUD-subsidized apartment homes, along with dining services that include kosher meals, so people from different backgrounds find something to fit. Social activities, arts and crafts, education programs, and wellness options are built into the days, and common rooms, a dining area, and an activities room give everyone spots to gather. Medical care's always present, with nurses on staff, wound care, diabetic support, incontinence care, podiatry, and help with therapy services like occupational therapy or rehabilitation for getting back on your feet. There's respite care if a family caregiver needs a break, as well as adult day services and hospice care, so short-term help is easy to find, and folks who stay longer can transition into different kinds of care. Building features include safety systems like sprinkler systems, handicap-accessible setups, washers and dryers, salon and barbershop, fitness center, cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, housekeeping, and maintenance.
