Willows Landing

Willows Landing sits in a quiet, private area of Monticello, close to parks and a forested neighborhood, where residents can enjoy peace among trees but still get to community activities and weekly outings, because the staff takes folks on trips and supports lots of social programs that help people meet and spend time together, and the place itself has a warm, inviting feel, especially because staff get to know each person and look after them with respect and care. The building is a modern four-story property, with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, and the apartments have full-sized kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and even wood floors and energy-efficient appliances like refrigerators and microwaves, so people can feel comfortable and keep a bit of their own daily habits, and there are one- or two-bedroom layouts for different needs, with pet-friendly options for cats and dogs. Residents get meals in a dining room where the culinary program uses fresh ingredients, and there's a private dining room for special gatherings, plus a pub and library, and places like a chapel for spiritual visits, a media room, a fitness and wellness center for mobility and exercise classes, and community spaces for cards, board games, music, and arts and crafts. Memory care at Willows Landing helps people with Alzheimer's and dementia by keeping a secure and safe environment, offering structured programs to encourage friendships, and using therapies to help reduce confusion and wandering, with staff always available day and night, and the whole place has safety features like grab bars and emergency response systems. Assisted living services help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, taking medications, and moving around, and the team helps with things like laundry, housekeeping, and trash pick-up, while independent living is also available for those who want an active, maintenance-free life with some support on hand. Residents can get wellness checks, health care coordination with places like CentraCare Health and Maple Grove Hospital, transportation for errands and medical visits, and there's always staff ready to check in on people at any hour. Willows Landing has underground heated parking, community lounges, a chapel and meditation room, and comfortable areas where neighbors can relax or join in activity programs-so the setup really tries to make it easy for seniors to have a pleasant, social experience, with choices and assistance balanced together.
