Carefree Senior Living at The Willows sits in the Summerlin part of Las Vegas, which is close to the Red Rock Mountains, the Las Vegas Strip, shopping spots, restaurants, medical offices, and neighborhood casinos, and you'll notice right away it has a friendly feel to it because everyone says hello as you walk by. The community offers over 300 senior apartment homes with nine different floorplans, and every apartment has amenities like large windows, wide doors, cable readiness, ceiling fans, energy-efficient appliances, roomy kitchens with granite countertops and wood cabinets, walk-in showers with safety bars, plush carpeting or wood-style flooring, in-unit washer and dryer, and many units have a private patio or balcony where you can sit and watch the day go by, which is nice because the landscaping is full of tropical plants and flowers, plus there's a community garden filled with colorful flowers, whimsical glass art, and a scarecrow that always makes people smile. The whole place is built with wheelchair accessibility in mind, and the bathrooms have walk-in showers and safety bars to help prevent falls.
