The Willows Retirement & Assisted Living sits in a peaceful rural setting not far from the Snake River, out where the land is open and it feels quiet. The community offers seniors several care options, ranging from independent living and assisted living to a memory care program designed specifically for people with Alzheimer's or other memory problems. The building has studio and single-room apartments that folks can make comfortable, and residents get to keep some pets if they want. Meals are made right there, with staff preparing home-cooked dishes that include fresh fruits and vegetables, and the kitchen tries to pay attention to nutrition and taste. Residents get personal care with things like medicine reminders, help with bathing, and support with daily living tasks-there's always staff nearby because the place has 24-hour personal assistance, a personal alert system, emergency response, and extra features like walk-in tubs and security you can count on.
The Willows focuses on giving each resident an individualized care plan, so whatever a person needs, the team, including the executive director and wellness director, organizes support that fits. Folks who need extra support for memory or Alzheimer's get a program that helps them stay safe and keeps them from getting lost or confused, and the dedicated staff try to help people have as much independence and quality of life as possible. There are always things to do-life enrichment activities to keep people socially and mentally busy, with a full calendar of events like book clubs, music, games, exercise, outings, and other activities both in the building and out in the community.
Residents find common spaces to gather and a library for reading, and there's a gym for those who want to stay active. The on-site salon provides haircuts and barber services, and people can get their nails or beard trimmed without leaving home. Every week, transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, or social outings, and that's all included in the price, which stays the same regardless of the support level. The staff keeps apartments clean and maintained, taking care of housekeeping, laundry, and repairs. Special care services cover things like medication management and support from a nurse or doctor on call, and there are extra services such as occupational and speech therapy, podiatrist and dentist visits, and spiritual gatherings for those interested. The Willows allows residents to keep their routines and preferences, offers support as health needs change, and tries to make life as comfortable, safe, and engaging as possible, all while staying rooted in the slower pace of a rural town.
