The​ ​Residence at Dania Beach

The Residence at Dania Beach, sometimes called Willow Manor Retirement Home, is a continuing care retirement community in Florida that offers different living options, including assisted living, memory care, independent living, and skilled nursing, with care levels shaped to fit each resident's needs, so residents have the choice of private, semi-private, or studio apartments, some with kitchenettes and all with full bathrooms, cable TV, telephone, air conditioning, and WiFi, and housekeeping and laundry are done regularly. Staff are around 24 hours a day and there's always a nurse on site for health needs like medication management, diabetic care, and incontinence support, and the community stays secured to keep wandering residents safe in an environment designed to support those with dementia, with services for bathing, dressing, grooming, transfer help, and assistance with daily living activities available so residents get help without feeling cooped up or isolated. The atmosphere is known for being warm and friendly, with staff described as loving and attentive, and even the housekeeper is known to talk with residents, making everybody feel at home, and there are always activities lined up-everything from morning meditations in the garden, yoga (including chair yoga), exercise programs, and walking paths on the manicured garden terraces, to group outings, offsite activities, and a resident musical group that keeps life interesting. The main dining room, with friendly staff and an all-day dining option, serves three chef-prepared meals daily and makes sure dietary needs for allergies or diabetic diets are met, and room service is also available for residents who'd rather eat in their space. Residents get mail delivered straight to their rooms, can access an in-house ice cream parlor, barber and beauty parlor services, a spa room, gym, game room, movie theater, several indoor seating areas and sun rooms, arts and crafts spaces, computer area, and a well-stocked library, and outdoor terraces and patios give residents space for BBQ lunches and fresh air with friends or family, who have plenty of on-site, visitor, and guest parking to use. The activities team organizes things like game nights, movie nights, devotional and religious services, arts and crafts, group exercises, and community-sponsored events to keep everyone engaged and social, and everyone helps out new residents with move-in coordination so the transition is easier. The Residence at Dania Beach is licensed to care for up to 200 people under Florida license number 12950, supports English-speaking residents, and provides all-inclusive pricing so it's easier for families to plan, and while the details matter and there's a focus on safety with fall management programs and ongoing care assessments, the most common thing people say is that the place feels relaxed and welcoming with well-kept gardens, clean rooms, and plenty of friendly faces.
