Willows Assisted Living Residence sits in Pauls Valley, OK, and has space for up to 48 residents in a non-institutional, apartment-style setting that feels more like a home than a hospital, so folks can have privacy while still getting the help they need. Around-the-clock staff help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, moving from bed to wheelchair, incontinence, and making sure residents can get help in an emergency thanks to a 24-hour call system. The staff can handle special care needs, too, like checking insulin for folks with diabetes and making diabetic-friendly meals, and they have senior care advocates to answer questions.
Meals come with the living arrangement, and they can work with special diets and allergies, so residents don't have to worry about cooking or grocery shopping. Residents eat in a community dining room with all-day dining, and furnished apartments come with a telephone and access to Wi-Fi or high-speed internet if desired. Around the building, there are indoor and outdoor spaces, like walking paths, gardens, an arts room, and comfortable sitting areas where people can spend time together, watch movies, or join in activities - and there's a hair salon and barber shop, too. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and transportation help for medical appointments are also provided.
Willows Assisted Living Residence offers many types of care services for seniors, including assisted living, memory care, respite care, and independent living, and they build personalized service plans for each resident based on what they need. Staff coordinate with healthcare providers, give support with daily tasks, and try to foster an active, social environment with daily scheduled activities, community-sponsored events, and even devotional activities off-site for spiritual support. They manage safety with wheelchair accessibility and an emergency alert system, and support residents through physical, social, emotional, and mental wellness programs. Folks who live there benefit from onsite and offsite activities, and there's a caring team that's been serving the local area for more than 15 years. The facility is run by a board of directors and was developed by the PVGH Foundation.
