If I could give 0 stars Iwould. My mother in law was recently at Willowbrook recovering from pneumonia. She developed c-diff symptoms 3 weeks ago and we were not informed and they did NOTHING. This last weekend we were packing her apartment to move her closer to us. They sent her to the hospital “at her request “ and didn’t even notify us as we are her medical power of attorney. When we called to check on her! they stated she was sleeping. Which was a lie! Sunday her neighbor came and got us, she had been sent to a hospital in Washington! Still no notification from the facility. My sweet mother in law passed away from sepsis from untreated c-diff. Willowbrook is a horrible place. Please don’t send you loved ones here!!!

I visited Willowbrook a few months ago with my family. The facility looked similar to other care facilities I've visited over the years, however, I witnessed the facility administrator interacting with several staff and residents during my visit. He impressed me with his professionalism and genuine interest in their questions and stories. Staff and residents often find themselves in stressful or uncomfortable situations in these types of facilities, so I found it refreshing that the administrator was out and about engaging with them. I heard him call several people by name, including residents, so it's clear that he knows them.

Caring administration across the board. The administrator listens and wants to help in any way. The physical therapy department head is also phenomenal. I also really appreciate all of the thoughtful activities planned weekly.
