Willow Grove sits at 1620 E Mead St. in Spokane, Washington, and has been around a while as a small, locally owned assisted living and memory care place, where you find private and shared rooms, with 20 beds available most of the time and services that try to match what each person needs, whether it's help with daily living like bathing, dressing, bathroom needs, or specialized support for dementia, Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injuries, or higher medical needs. The building feels like a regular house with a cozy library, indoor lounges with fireplaces, a beauty salon, garden, and quiet yard spaces, and there's a close-knit group of staff always awake and on call, along with nurses, a doctor on call, visiting therapists, and access to podiatrists and dentists for extra care. Rooms come with private baths and some have kitchenettes, and residents can choose from studios, private, or semi-private options, and sometimes they'll find the rooms furnished at no extra cost, which really helps. There's always someone to help with things like medication, blood sugar, meals made at home every day-three times a day, plus snacks-and special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure if they need that, and staff help with things like laundry, making beds, and keeping everything clean and tidy.
Residents get a schedule with morning exercise, wellness programs, music and art, group games, movies, crafts, and even outings or holiday parties, or they can spend time in the garden or the media room, and you'll see spiritual support like chapel every week and devotional services on and offsite. There's special care for those at risk of getting lost, with wandering-prevention bracelets, and the facility offers hospice care when families need it, plus respite and extra care for people who need a bit more, including wheelchair help, two-person transfers, and incontinence care. Willow Grove feels like a place that tries to keep routines going every day, letting people live as independently as they can while still helping with what's needed, and families stay involved with special events.
The place accepts private pay, social security, VA benefits, and some private insurance, but there are fees for community, respite, buy-in, and extra care, and room rates depend on if it's a studio, one-bedroom, or shared room, so people can pick what fits best, and amenities like a reading room, fitness spot, library, jacuzzi, steam room, and outdoor smoking (in certain places) make it more comfortable. Willow Grove has 24/7 caregivers, a strong staff ratio, and an owner who's been doing senior care a long time, and you can find out more or get directions on their website legacy1864.com. This place stands out for treating each person with care and dignity while supporting independence, creating a caring community, and offering daily routines for connection, comfort, and health, while addressing boredom or loneliness through thoughtful activities and personal attention.
