Willow Lane Assisted Living offers care for seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around, and there's always staff on hand with a 24-hour call system and a full-time RN to watch over health needs, which is important if someone needs regular support. The community gives people private rooms with their own bathrooms, plus shared dining spaces, lounges, patios, outdoor areas, and a theater room where residents can watch movies together or join group activities, and with a library stocked with books and a beauty salon on site, there's ways to stay busy and look nice without much hassle. For meals, chefs and planners make sure the food is both healthy and fits different dietary needs, and residents can enjoy snacks and entertainment during a Happy Hour in the dining area, which adds a bit of fun to the week.
If someone has dementia or memory problems, Willow Lane provides a secure and supervised environment with specific programs meant to help keep people safe and reduce confusion, and staff are trained for these challenges, even helping with diabetes care, incontinence care, or if someone can't walk easily, so non-ambulatory care is part of what's offered. The place is wheelchair accessible, and move-in help is available to make getting settled a little easier, and if someone wants to get out, there's transportation for group outings, whether it's a trip to a musical or another community event, all coordinated by a staff activity director and assisted living coordinator.
The grounds are quite nice, with peaceful outdoor spaces, a pond called Willow Lake for fishing, a covered wooden bridge, walking trails, prairies, gardens, orchards for fresh fruits, and there's even an area called Junior's Farm with animals for visitors to see, so folks can get outside, walk, or take in some nature, which helps people feel at home. There are regular community-sponsored activities, crafts, exercises, on-site entertainment, and an "It's Never 2 Late" system for personal programs to keep minds active, and group activities both on and off site make sure nobody has to feel alone. Willow Lane focuses on person-centered care, trying to make things comfortable and homelike, and the small size with just 28 private rooms means care can be a bit more personal, with staff getting to know everyone's routines and needs. Housekeeping, laundry, and companionship are included, so families know their loved one isn't just getting care, but also living somewhere with a full range of simple comforts and practical help.
