Full of home amenities and with a relaxing, calming environment. We haven't seen our mother smiling this much in a very long time. It's wonderful knowing she is happy and in such a safe, loving facility.

- Dedicated staff
- Activities:
- Care team/concept of universal workers: typically a majority of our care team is comprised of Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). Although we will hire caregivers, we prefer CNAs. We provide training on hire and throughout the year to our team but we find that the additional training CNAs have equips them well to work in assisted living. We are very proud that are care staff can focus on CARE. We have dedicated activities, dietary, housekeeping, and maintenance staff to focus on the other services that are needed so our CNAs and caregivers can focus on CARE
- Dietary: we hire seasoned chefs who prepare delicious meals and snacks. We also have dietary assistants to support the chefs throughout the week

Food
Food matters. At any age, delicious, nutritious food helps us enjoy life and maintain optimal health. Willowick is committed to honoring traditions of healthy and enjoyable home cooking. In addition to hiring seasoned chefs who, as our residents say, “can REALLY cook,” we value flexibility. We realize that not everyone may want to eat at the typical mealtimes of 8 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM. Breakfast does not have a set time and is served when you awake and decide you are ready. Although lunch and supper are at scheduled times, we have meals that are always available for residents who wish to eat at alternate times. Sandwiches, soups, and salads are always available as an alternate to the regularly scheduled meal. Lunch is typically at noon and dinner is at 5 PM.
