The Willows - Living Branches Senior Living Community sits in the small town of Hatfield, PA, right in the Pennsylvania countryside, with big old trees and manicured fields all around the campus. The buildings have a classic look and there are gardens, patios, and a community courtyard where people relax or meet friends. The Willows offers different levels of care, from independent living for active seniors, to personal and assisted care, and memory care in a specialized area called Serenata Memory Care. There's also skilled nursing care onsite, which means a nurse is present at all hours and there's an onsite pharmacy and plenty of therapists for physical, speech, and occupational needs.
The dining room is busy, serving meals and snacks approved by dieticians, and guests can come for meals or even stay overnight. Residents can use room service, do laundry in complimentary facilities or pay for dry cleaning, and use the computer area or Wi-Fi. The Willows lets residents keep some pets, and family or friends can visit any time since the campus is always open for guests.
Residents have a lot of ways to stay active and social, with activities like billiards, gardening, card games, Bible studies, and trips out to local places. Creative arts therapy-like music, art, or movement classes-runs alongside music therapy sessions. Fitness classes, gardening clubs, and lifelong learning courses through Living U add even more to do, and a Student in Residence Program brings university students to live on campus and interact with residents. There's a community room, lounges, a library, a game room, and outdoor patios for group events and quieter moments alike.
The Willows acts as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means residents can move between different types of care as their needs change, from independent living through assisted care and memory care, all still close to friends and familiar surroundings. A Personalized Care Team makes care plans for each resident, so help fits what's needed, whether it's medication management or help with dressing or bathing.
Transportation is available for medical appointments and activities; there's free parking and easy access to route 309. Family and visitors can connect to free Wi-Fi and find a seat in the gardens or one of the community spaces. Residents who need more help can get home care services with aides, and the Willows provides access to more care at Dock Woods and Souderton Mennonite Homes if needed.
The community encourages everyone to take part through things like a Resident Council, and there's a Dementia Resource Library for those wanting to learn more about memory care. Staff are around all day and night, and emergency alert systems are installed throughout the community. The Willows has a review score of 7.4 and focuses on giving a welcoming, home-like setting for seniors who value both independence and having support close by as they need it.
