Key Review Excerpts

We can now go to sleep at night knowing our grandmother is taken care of and LOVED! Living an hour away I can’t visit as often as I want to, but seeing the Facebook post with all the activities she is involved in, the smile on her face and the love she is receiving from the staff at Willow creek is amazing!

Long-term resident's family · 2020★★★★★

My dad spent a month in a skilled nursing in Arlington, Texas that was grimmy, dirty, the food was prepared like prison food, and all the staff seemed to hate their job. Willow Creek in Mount Vernon was just the opposite

Rehab patient's family · 2021★★★★★

At the nursing home they told him he was in yhe hospital. They didn't what hospital or for how long or why. It turned out he was septic and had been in the hospital for 5 days. No one notified me he was in
