I have a family member who has lived at The Willows, part of the Grace Barker campus, for two years. Our experience has been wonderful! The Willows Assisted Living is a small, clean, charming "home" where the staff all know each resident well. They are able to provide appropriate care while allowing residents to still maintain dignity and as much independence as possible.<br><br>This is a family owned business that treats everyone like family. I like that! Many employees have been there for years, a testament to the pleasant environment they create. I feel very fortunate that my family member is in such a wonderful place - we both think of The Willows as much more than an Assisted Living, it is truly her home.

My mother was at Grace Barker nursing home a few years back and has since passed. I still follow them on social media because it makes me smile. The home will always have a spot in my heart.
