Meet The Team
Meet Our Caregivers: Well Beyond OrdinaryWhether it’s helping residents make their favorite pizza during one of our cooking classes, or making a daily effort to make our residents laugh, our caregivers bring their unique personalities to the Willowbend community, offering residents an all-around charming experience.
Our caregivers take the time to learn meaningful details about each resident, creating a true bonding experience. We take the time to truly understand what makes our residents light up. It’s common for trusted relationships with residents to blossom into friendships.
Whether it’s bringing them coffee in the morning, reading them pages from a book or offering a listening ear, we go the extra mile to keep our residents smiling. This philosophy of personalized care makes it easier and more enjoyable for our residents to reach the goals they set for themselves.
