Key Review Excerpts
“They took care of my father for several years. He would not have lived as long as he did without the wonderful ladies who took such amazing care of him. I cannot say enough good things about Willow Creek... my father was a little difficult, and they took it in stride, and went above and beyond time and again.”
“The helpers and residents where at peace with each other. Fantastic!!!”
“I've only visited here one time and I found the employees very helpful and friendly. It is a large facility with large areas outside for the residents to move around the grounds. It was peaceful there.”
