About the facility The Willows

Welcome to The Willows, where your retirement adventure awaits.

When you visit our retirement community near The Villages in Oxford, you'll notice something unexpected the minute you walk through the doors. You can see, hear, and feel the energy and vibrancy of our community. The lobby is bustling, people are laughing, and friends are chatting. Some are planning outings to Spanish Springs Town Square or Lake Sumter Landing, while others are grabbing coffee before a day on the links at one of the nearby golf courses. The Willows feels like an active community because it is an active community.

Our philosophy of premium customer service translates into an experience that feels more like you're on a permanent vacation, and less like you're in a retirement community. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and inviting—whatever our residents need, our helpful staff is ready to deliver.

At The Willows, we don't just care for people—we care about people, and want to help our residents get the most out of their retirement. Want to plan a movie night? Invite your family. How about a game of poker? Stack your chips. Dinner in the city sound fun? Hop on the shuttle. Whatever...

Really lovely, intime memory care facility. Great, well thought out areas/ spaces for residents to move around, mingle, be involved and feel comfortable in. Kind and involved staff with residents. Updated, clean, modern and cozy design, with lovely, spacious rooms with with Jack n Jill bathrooms or private. Someplace you’d feel good your family member lived, and feel welcome visiting.

Thank you for taking care of Mom

My mother was a resident of the Willows in the Memory Care unit until this past fall. The care my mother received while she was there was top notch and the staff was caring, attentive and they really spent time with Mom. Unfortunately my mother declined rapidly and passed this October. The tender care the staff showed my mother in her final days made the difficult experience easier to handle. My brother and I were not local and they promised us they would take care of her and they did. It is never easy making the decision to place your loved one but The Willows helped confirm that we made the right decision. Thank you [name removed] and staff for all you did for my family.

Beware

Turn over of staff is constant. Had Mother in facility for 8 weeks and gave up looking for improvement. Their main goal is pinching pennies on caregivers, food and facility despite high cost to resident . She would not be checked on for hours and no coverage at all during the night. Paid for all the extras, but not a safe environment for loved one.

My Parents Time With the Community

My parents stayed at the community for 5 weeks as respite guests. They were getting the services they needed and the meals were good too. They ate in the dining room or in their room. The community had activities and outings for participation. There were occasions when they were short staffed and they told us to be informed.

Pleasant Tour Overall

This is a new building and a happy community which was evident during our tour. The rooms are spacious and there are choices for private rooms and increased care areas. We did not select it as the location is far from family. But there were no red flags during our visit so if this is the right town for you then I would encourage you to consider The Willows.

A great community

The cost of this community is higher than at the community mom was previously living in, however it is leaps and bounds above them. This community offers many things to do and places to go. The staff encourage residents to get involved. The food is good and the community is very clean. I would recommend community.

Not that bad!

Some of the staff here have been great and then the other bunch has been horrendous. They keep the community fairly clean I suppose. My sister said that she does not like the food. This community really isn't that bad.

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for taking the time letting us know how your visit went at The Willows. As the General Manager, I was proud to share your positive comments with my employees. We take pride in hiring the right employee and I am not surprised you found them helpful and nice. One of the key components of happy resident is to have not good employees but great employees. These types of employees have a direct positive impact on the quality of life for our residents. We have been told on several occasions that our Chefs are “one of a kind." We are very well known for exceptional taste and service during the dining experience. Our Life Enrichment Director spends quality time with our residents to assist with their input for great programming. Socialization and having “fun” is the key. Cleanliness of a community is critical. Thank you for sharing your positive experience and visiting our community. And one more thank you for putting an additional smile on our faces. Sincerely, Pamela Campbell, General Manager

Happy at The Willows

The food is usually very good. The people are friendly and always try to help. I do believe they need more help but that seems to be the standard with all of the assisted living facilities in the area. It would be nice if they had an RN on duty 24 hours a day.

This place is beautiful and if I had to be placed in a community then I would want to go here. The staff was very welcoming when me and my husband took a tour. They just didn't have the right certification that we needed for my husband.

No meetings!

I did like this place, but what I look for in a place is the staff and to see how they interact. I want to find out what they would be doing for my loved one. I never got to see or meet any of the nurses or staff. I did not like that.

The community is taking good care of my mother-in-law it is going fine. All together she does a lot for herself but the staff give her reminders and get her medications. She loves the meals, she has a nice menu to choose from and gets substitutions if needed. The community is very clean and is brand new place, only been open for year and a half. Since my mother-in-law is still settling she has not participated in activities they provide, they got a lot of activities. She does has made some friends. They are closer to where we live and it helps us out when visiting.
