iamond Willow is proud to be a part of the Alexandria community. We are proud to offer a smaller setting for those with advancing medical, physical or memory care needs.
Our homes feature private 380 square foot suites with private baths and two licensed nurses during all care times. We have created a setting reflective of privacy, dignity, respect and honor. Call for tours and information about this new option for seniors with higher care needs who desire an alternative to a nursing home.
