I've already moved into Elison Independent Living at Willowbrook. The main thing that I like is the activities that they have planned. It's like living on a cruise ship because you can pick and choose, and you don't have to do anything if you don't want to. Today, they have this social thing till about 3:00, but on a typical Friday they have a van that takes you to the grocery store and lunches. They have morning exercises, mix and mingle karaoke, men's poker club, movies pretty much every other night, Scrabble, billiards, mind aerobics, pet therapy, and crafts. I have a one-bedroom apartment and it is very big. There's one balcony per floor, and they have different courtyards. One courtyard faces a fountain. Another courtyard faces the pool, and another courtyard faces the koi pond, soeverybody has something to look at. The staff is wonderful. One of the kitchen staff has been here 25 years and the lady that cleans my apartment has been here for 23 years, so they're very dedicated to their jobs. They have a meal plan that you can get on, but I chose not to get on the meal plan because I cook for myself. They have Sunday brunches. I only went once to dinner and it was wonderful. They've got new entrees every night; they'll have a beverage, an entree, and dessert. It's really independent living, but there's an emergency buzzer that's monitored 24/7, and they'll come running up here and stay with you until the paramedics get here, which is very, very nice to know.

I visited Elison Independent Living at Willowbrook. The tour was fine, and I thought the place was nice. We liked the greenspaces, and that the room he would have gotten would have been down the hall from the dining room. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen. There is a refrigerator, a small stove, and a dishwasher; pretty much everything but a microwave. The staff was nice, pretty informative, and concerned about my uncle and his memory issues. We did have breakfast there, and it was good.

We went to Elison Independent Living at Willowbrook. They offer meal service three times a day; we really liked that. They had an exercise room. The apartments open to the outside, which meant that when we had to do laundry, we had to go out of the apartment, go down the hallway, and on hot or severely hot or severely cold, that can be a drag. The food was really good. It was a very diverse menu. And what they didn't serve one day they would serve another day. And the residents have a say in what they want in the way of food recipes they want them to try. We had a delightful time eating there. But it was just, the people were older than us, ten, 15 years older than us. They offer daily activities, quite a full calendar, that sort of thing. The rooms were sizable, we really liked that. The carpet probably needed to be changed out. It's just an old apartment complex, and they're slowly redoing all the units. And I don't think they quite got to the unit we looked at. We loved the staff, they were wonderful. Candy was the sales person. They offer transportation to doctors. I wish they had a washer and dryer in the apartment, so you don't have to go out.

The tour I had of Elison Independent Living at Willowbrook was fine. Samantha gave me a full tour of the facility and she was very informative. It's close to transportation, with a bus stop right down the corner. They also provide transportation to appointments. I saw some residents doing some activities. I saw the dining hall and the laundry area. The place seemed well-kept and secured. They have their own staff security at night.

We chose Elison Independent Living at Willowbrook for my son. It's a wonderful place. It's equipped with everything. My son loved the food that was being served there. The staff answered all my questions and they're very nice, very polite, and very professional. We enjoyed talking to Jessica. She would call me back every time I called her, would answer all my questions, and was able to refer me to homecare for my son. She referred me to a couple of places that are going to help me. At this point, I'm very pleased with their service and with the area. It's going to be very close to me. They have a lot of activities. It's just that my son is blind, that's why I'm trying to find home care for him so that they can walk him around and show him the activities that are going to be there. They have a washing machine that you can wash and dry free without having to go to the washateria or bring the clothes home.
