We pass by it weekly, but were unaware of it's all-inclusive common sense amenities until A Place For Mom contacted me. The facility has great reviews, so we booked a tour. [name removed] came outside and greeted my mom before she got to the door. (It was very apparent that this gentleman was raised right.) He gave us our tour. The facility is very clean, bright and cheery, very well decorated and thoughtfully designed for it's specific patrons. The staff are very nice and attentive to the residents, and treat the …

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living feels like home. I think my friend likes it because of the affordability, which is the most important thing. The staff members are very helpful. The residents are friendly. The place is clean. The room size is just enough. It's a little bit big for my friend, but she just has a studio. The bathrooms are nice and big, maybe enough room for a wheelchair or a walker. My friend says she's overwhelmed by the food because you can even order something that's not on th…

Willow Creek is a beautiful building. The staff that we met in our 3 visits over several months were very friendly and helpful. We like that there are managers living in the building. We witnessed fun activities. The residents were all very positive when we asked for their opinion of the place. My mother-in-law was very pleased. She also liked the 24/7 soft serve ice cream and the theater room.

I visited this facility

I visited the independent living community of Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living in Chesapeake. The apartments seem to be very nice. I met the activities coordinator, and she was very friendly. There are activities throughout the day, like bingo, different games, and arts and crafts. They have a kitchen called Grandma's Kitchen, where you can come in and cook, and they do cooking activities there. The apartments only have a kitchenette, and there is no stove or oven, so you can't cook. They offer thr…
