The Oaks at Willow Lake Senior Living sits at 851 Gunn Rd in Warner Robins, Georgia, and the first thing folks notice about it is how it tries to give seniors a comfortable, home-like place with plenty of trees and quiet spaces around, which many families seem to appreciate when their loved ones need some extra help and care. The place has 24 licensed beds, is a Personal Care Home, and is family owned and run, with years of long-term care experience from their partnership with The Oaks Nursing and Personal Care Homes in Marshallville, which stretches back over 65 years. It offers several types of living and care, including assisted living, independent living, nursing home care, memory care, and respite care for those who need a temporary stay or are recovering.
They have staff around all day and night for 24-hour supervision, and a call system so help is always close, and the team can help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and other daily tasks, plus a nurse oversees care. Each resident gets a personalized care plan that matches their needs, so those who enjoy independence still get it, while others get more support if they need it. Private or semi-private rooms come with private baths and emergency call buttons, and the community also has a cozy library, a beauty and barber salon, gardens, outdoor walking paths, game and activity rooms, internet in common areas, and washers and dryers that residents can use.
Meals come three times a day in a dining room, with special diets such as diabetes-friendly plans, and the kitchen staff prepares food for everyone, so people don't have to worry about cooking. Residents have options for studios, single rooms, or two-bedroom layouts, with prices for assisted living ranging from $1,500 to $3,200 per month, memory care in studio apartments running from $3,200 to $4,000, semi-private nursing home rooms at $6,000 to $6,500, and private rooms going up to $7,500 per month. For those with long-term care insurance, the community does accept it.
The Oaks at Willow Lake gives residents a schedule full of activities every day, like crafts, games, educational programs, outings, and plenty of programs that encourage people to stay active and form friendships, while also having mental wellness programs to support everyone's minds and moods. They offer other services like outpatient therapy, in-house rehabilitation, wound care, and visits from podiatrists if someone needs foot care. Transportation is available for errands and appointments, and housekeeping is part of the services, so rooms are kept clean with little for residents to worry about.
They focus on making a safe, worry-free place where people can keep their dignity, socialize, and get care when it's needed, whether that means help with medicine, getting up, or just joining friends in the great room with a big TV, the sunroom for some quiet, or out in the garden on a good day. The community's ratings tend to be high, with folks giving them about 4.5 to 4.8 out of 5 for overall experience. The Oaks at Willow Lake doesn't have certification from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services however, so families should keep that in mind, but many appreciate the honest care, the friendly, trained staff, and the way they keep things running for both seniors and their families who want peace of mind and a good quality of life.
