I love Village at Willow Assisted Living
Affordable, Cute, Clean, + a home like setting makes this one of my favorite assisted living communities in the area. The Villages at Willow is a newer community but the owners also own others in the area that have been around for many many decades. This community always goes above and beyond and their prices are super affordable compared to others

Highly recommend!
The Villages at Willows offers a wonderful quality of life. The facility itself is beautiful and well-maintained, but it’s the atmosphere that really shines. There is always a variety of engaging activities which has really helped my Mom stay active and connected. The food is excellent, and the cottages feels like a community rather than an institution. It’s a place where residents can truly thrive. Most importantly, I no longer worry about her safety or well-being. Knowing she is in such capable, compassionate hands gives our family incredible peace of mind. I highly recommend this place.

Mother is very happy
It was a very difficult decision to place Mother in an assisted living facility because she wanted to remain at home with me. However, I sustained immense injuries from a devastating accident, and could no longer take care of her. The caregivers at Willow provide such excellent and compassionate care, and Mother is very well taken care of. Our family is very happy that Mother is doing so well. We praise the staff at Willow for the wonderful job they are doing. It allows us to rest easy with a clear conscience.

Great care for our mother!
Mom has been a resident at the Villages at Willow and has thrived under their excellent care. When she was first admitted into the community, she was quite weak and frail. Mom has gained weight and her stamina has increased, and she is growing stronger every day. She is walking better and is very happy with her home and the care she is receiving. Our family is so delighted to see the overall improvement in our mother’s health and are so thankful to see how much her attitude and outlook have flourished. Mom is so happy with her home and the wonderful friends she’s made.

Feels Like Home
I found out about this place from the owners at Elim Place memory care in the SunnySide area and i am super grateful that i did. My Aunt Mable lives at [removed name], and for the past 6 months her best friend [removed name] has called Villages At Willow home when we recommended this place to her family. It's very unique here and looks like home, feels like home, smells like home, because it is home. What a GREAT concept for assisted living and the price points are extremely low compared to other facilities in the area - a few local places wanted $8,000+ per month for Hildred to move in (thats ridiculous) Thank you for everything you do to make this place look and feel like home compared to a hospital like so many others.

Family-focused
We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and compassion provided by this assisted living facility. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this is a place where residents are truly valued, respected, and treated like family. The staff is exceptional—attentive, patient, and genuinely kind. They take the time to know each resident personally and consistently go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable, safe, and supported. Communication with families is clear and thoughtful, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. The facility itself is clean, welcoming, and well-maintained, with a warm atmosphere that feels more like a community than a facility. Activities are engaging and well-planned, meals are nutritious and enjoyable, and there is a strong focus on both physical and emotional well-being.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored The Villages at Willow 10 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
