First, and foremost, it should be noted that assisted living communities are not nursing homes. Unfortunately, a lot of the senior population feels that the term “assisted living” is a politically correct word for “nursing home” and this is far from true. Nursing homes are designed to care for very frail people who are not able to care for themselves and have numerous health care requirements. Assisted living communities are designed to assist seniors who are able to care for themselves except for a few of their activities of daily living. These activities may include bathing, dressing, preparing meals, ambulating or medication assistance and in some cases, may be experiencing memory problems, but for the most part, they do not require constant care and are independent in several aspects of their lives. Assisted living communities provide companionship, security and assistance with the activities of daily living that seniors may require in an environment that promotes and enhances independence. Our community is for seniors who want to maintain their rich, rewarding life without the responsibilities of running a household. We offer a choice of spacious private and companion rooms, restaurant-style dining, housekeeping services, exercise and wellness programs, daily activities and much more. Our residents may relax on our patio and porch areas, which overlook the peaceful pond. WillowBrook provides a wide range of services and amenities that enable our residents to derive meaning and value from every day.
