Review for Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living
From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the place to home them. The staff considers it the residents's home and tells them so. Managers live on-site so they have skin in the game as far as the operations go. I could live there myself -- and well may in a couple of decades!

Tour experience
We toured with Willow Creek Gracious Retirement and found it to be an absolutely lovely facility. Unfortunately it was strictly independent living, so they did not have enough care here for my loved one.

A happy ending for my step-father
I've told people before that Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living is like living in a four star hotel. It's very nice, very clean, and the people there are extremely friendly. They do take really good care of the people they have there. After a period of adjustment, my step-father has been very happy there. I was concerned that he wouldn't be happy going to any community after leaving his home, but he seems to enjoy it. He has made many friends and it's been pretty positive.

Tour of Willow Creek
I toured Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living and it was very nice; we even put a deposit down. We ultimately had to change our mind because our loved one wasn't ready for full independent living. We were right, as her level of care & needs declined shortly thereafter.

Good Place for Any Senior Who is Active
There has been a turnover in staff since the my loved one moved in. Some of the activities include arts and crafts, religious activities, games, and more for the residents to choose from. There is always something to assist the residents in engaging with other residents and to keep them active.

I would recommend
We chose Willow Creek because of the overall appearance of the facility, the cleanliness, and what they were able to provide. The apartment sizes here are adequate, they do have studios and 1 bedrooms available. I would tell others they are very open to talking to you and they seem to provide him everything that he needs. I would recommend to others looking.

The kept the community clean. The staff was all very friendly, they help out with whatever is needed and are always respectful. The food and activities were good as well. Definitely a good value for the price. My mother would still be there if she didn't need a higher level of care.

Surprisingly easy move in, no hidden cost
The staff at Willow Creek is very friendly. Residents seem to be very kind. Newer property. My father in law really likes the ice cream and coffee bar. Move in process was easy and straightforward. Costs were well laid out.

Feels welcome
Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living is a beautiful community. My grandmother is doing pretty good there and settling in quite nicely. Everyone has made her feel so welcome and included which was a big help since she moved from another state. The staff is very helpful and caring. They are very welcoming to our family members when we come to visit. It is in a very convenient location and I am able to visit her every day. The meals they prepare are very good with a lot of variety and choices. There are numerous activities that she can participate in, and they also provide transportation for shopping and other excursions. She loves her room which is very nice and comfortable. The landscaping is beautiful and well-kept. We are very happy that she is doing so well here at Willow Creek.

We just can't say enough about our experience. Our parents have decided to join the Willow Creek community in the fall. Needless to say... all of their VA family & friends are looking forward to visiting them at their new home & meeting their new friends.

Nice tour, But Budget Friendly for Us
We toured this community for my mother in law, and her needs. Overall it was a nice tour, and everything went well. There were many factors that played into where to move my mother in law to for her needs. Unfortunately this community was a bit expensive for our budget.
