What this means for your family
This facility offers a wonderful social environment and excellent dining for those in independent living. However, if your loved one requires skilled nursing or rehab, you must closely monitor their medical care, as multiple families have reported serious issues with UTI recognition and medication management.

“The staff is caring and sees that our every need is met. The residents are welcoming and help make life fun. Moving here has been the best decision we could have made!”
“My 90 yr old Mother broke her hip. After surgery we decided to place her at The Legacy Willow Bend.. She has received top-notch care during her 3+ week stay here. From Rehab to Speech Therapy, well planned activities, 3 meals a day, nursing care (help with showering, medication etc..).. We highly recommend anyone who is considering this facility.”
