I toured Traditions at North Willow. The rooms were nice. They were set up like apartments, and not a hospital. They have different activities every day. They have a beauty shop there, they have physical therapy, and they have doctors there, so my mom wouldn't have to go to a family practice doctor. She could get a medicine prescription and see a doctor there. The staff was very nice.

My mom is moving into Traditions at North Willow. I thought it was a pretty good place. I thought that it was well-kept, and they seemed to be very strong in programing for memory care, which is what we were looking for. It's very pretty, very well done, and is a nice place. It doesn't look like a nursing home and has a homey feel. I was very pleased. As far as my mom's room, it's nice and spacious. There's a couple of windows for a lot of light to come in. I like the way it's set up. I noticed that they have a lot of things going on, even in their assisted living. They have a little movie theater, and I believe they have a snack bar and that kind of thing. It's clean and decorated very nicely. It doesn't look dark, and it looks like a really nice inn. It looks like a community. I was visiting and my mom's not there yet, but as far as I could see, everyone was very, very nice, and very polite. I also like that they they're updated, and the environment is very nice. They also have a lot of programs going on. There was some mixed communication that I found with the person that I'm actually moving in with. That's the only thing that I noticed, but I think they did a very good job with the tour. I only spoke to the marketing person, and I met the nurse. The tour experience was excellent. They did a very good job, and it's one of the reasons that I decided on that place. It's really nice. I think the only reason that I probably would give it a four instead of a five is because their memory care is not on the first floor. It's up there on the third floor, and I think the other thing maybe, and I kind of understand why, was that the bedroom isn't carpeted, so I'm buying an area carpet for my mom.

I like the memory care at Traditions at North Willow better than the other place we saw. It's spacious, the rooms are big, and they do a lot of activities and things of that nature. The people who work there are amazing. The rooms are all private. That's why they're a little more pricey, so we're trying to get my grandfather a Medicaid waiver. But it's definitely worth it. They have their own bathrooms and showers, the eating area is really big, and the TV areas and everything are really big and wide. They have a really big, nice courtyard where they have people perform sometimes, and they have a visiting area. So that's really nice. They do a lot of arts and crafts. They have celebrations for every religion and celebrate all the holidays. They would have people perform music for them. There are a lot of different activities.

My dad moved into Traditions at North Willow. They're professional and accommodating. They have physical training rooms for whether you have patients, or you're with an actual physical therapist, or like on their own. They do food, they wash your laundry, they have access to cable in your room, WiFi, and this is kind of standard. He's in memory care so it's a little bit more limited. He said the food is good, sometimes he's getting enough, and sometimes he's not getting enough. He's also a young/pretty young patient to have in memory care. When he's stressed out, he's more active, and probably more active than they anticipate their patients to be, and I think he burns out a little bit more.

My mom has been a resident since Traditions first opened 2 years ago. First in assisted living and now in memory care. The staff is wonderful and the facility is clean and top notch. We couldn't be happier with her care and living enviroment.

My mother is a resident of Traditions at North Willow for 3 months now. I'm not thrilled, I don't think they treat their patients as human beings. It's just a job to them, and I don't think my mom is getting as good a care as she had at the other place she was at. They keep telling me they're going to give her great care, but my mother spends a lot of time in her bed. I think the management people wanted it to be better, but they're not making good hiring or staffing decisions. The rooms are very nice and very spacious. The assisted living looks pretty nice, and everything there looks pretty good, the memory care is very stark.
