I was a new (10mos) resident of Willow Valley Communities when suddenly I learned the value of a full life care facility. Within weeks of my back pain onset, I needed skilled nursing care to prepare me for back surgery and then rehab. I received exemplary care from the staff at The Glen skilled nursing facility (1NW floor). I was in terrible pain, in shock that my life-long athletic body was suddenly so vulnerable, and more than anxious about surrendering myself to the care of strangers 24/7. But my fears were unfounded as every staff member, from the aides to the nurses to the PTs and Ots, and the social worker worked as a team to ensure my safety, stabilized my meds to control the pain, and prepared me for surgery. I could not have made it without their technical skills, positive energy, and emotional support. The smartest thing I ever did was move to Willow Valley Communities.

Visited several times now and feel this is a great place for seniors. The main building is nicely decorated and has many amenities onsite (bank, hairdresser, woodshop class, art workshop, library, computer area, café, pool, darts and more). Love that the pool/jacuzzi is open 24/7 and many of the common areas are unlocked and open as well. On days the baker was there, the sweet smell of goodies still lingers The cafeteria offers a variety of food, and the outdoor area has a koi pond and grill under the gazebo. Staff is very friendly. Been to the Community bowling alley (free when accompanied by a resident) that has some arcade games (free) and ice cream shop. There are other amenities open to the WV Community that aren't housed in the main building as well.

My father lives here and they are being so unsafe with COVID that I'm really fearful for him. People don't wear masks properly, the dining room is open, visitors are coming and going. They were delivering food to rooms initially but that stopped a few months ago. Now that things are worse residents are still made to go to dining room and wait in crowded lines. It's frightening. This place wasn't the best before the pandemic. I would not have recommended it before but definitely not now.
