care that goes above & beyond
We offer two types of care on Willow Ridge’s campus — independent living and assisted living. Each option offers various services and amenities that cater to the unique needs of each of our seniors.
Upon admission, we develop an individualized service plan with resident, family, and doctor input. Weekly physician appointments, physical therapy sessions, and lab services are performed on site. Highly trained nurses are staffed 24/7, providing immediate attention for emergency medical issues.
Should a resident develop medical needs that require a change in levels of care, we will facilitate a seamless transition to assisted living within the community on the Willow Ridge campus.
