Friendly staff and nice community
The staff is friendly. However it is a money grab for any additional help. I.E. you pay for reminders like taking medication, but they charge more if the staff needs to stay to make sure it gets completed.

Willows Bend Senior Living review
The head nurses are great. Always keeping me up on things. Most are super nice. Its a nice building with nice looking rooms. Some little issues with meals but seem short staffed at times. Room sizes very per persons need. Many different styles. Very modern. Activities are good, just not my Dads style. He likes sing-alongs which they don't have.

Our families experience
Friendliness of the staff members, wonderful activities and entertainment, all of the natural light, easy access to major roads. We would highly recommend Willows Bend. The friendly staff is very communicative regarding the activities and entertainment. We moved here (after touring 4 other communities) for our next phase of life and we're very happy to be here.

Clean and quiet
There are very few activities offered. And when they are maybe a handful of people attend. That is very disappointing. Otherwise it's a nice building - it is very clean and quiet.

Review for Willows Bend Senior Living
It seems after COVID, there's not any qualified staff or licensed staff for the proper care needed. But that seems to be the Norm for most facilities like this. For the amount we were paying, I expect everything to be done.

Overall very nice apartments and great common areas. A nice variety of group activities available on a regular basis so always something interesting to do. Nice to often see residents gathering together in common areas to visit.

Beautiful facility with lots to offer
The building is very new and clean. They have a theater room, a cocktail/bar area for weekly happy hour. The staff and other residents are very friendly. There's a small fitness room. It is pretty expensive and they just raised the rent after 2 months!

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Willows Bend Senior Living 8.6 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.
