Reviews
My 71 year old brother is intellectually challenged and normally lives at Stewart Home & School in Frankfort, KY. He has stayed at the Willows on three occasions. Each time, the staff has been welcoming and helped him regain his strength and mobility after a hospitalization. The facility is attractive, clean, and well run. The physical therapists are very skilled and patient. The food is nutritious and quite tasty. This facility is far superior to others I have experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend the Willows to friends and family.
I cannot even begin to thank each and every person at the Willows at Harrodsburg.The amount of healing growing and advancement they were able to help my dad achieve was nothing short of amazing. From the therapy staff, Nurses ,Aids and the random people we met who worked there EVERYONE was compassionate knowledgeable and made us feel as if we mattered. If your loved one has ever in need of a skilled nursing facility or assisted-living I definitely would look no further in the willows at Harrodsburg.
Absolutely love this place, all the staff is amazing. The nurses and aids are wonderful, they took such good care of my mama, I can't say enough good things about them. I highly recommend the willows of harrodsburg.
My mother-in-law has been at the Willows at Harrodsburg in Harrodsburg, KY for nearly 10 months. Since she didn’t want to go there, we are amazed at what a blessing it has been for her and for us. When she first came to the Willows she was placed in the Skilled Nursing area because of her poor physical condition. Under the good care of the nursing staff and physical therapy, her condition slowly improved and 2 1/2 months after arriving she was well enough to be moved to the Personal Care area where she continues to live. I gave the Willows a 5 star rating. That would imply that they are perfect in all areas, but let’s be honest, no place is going to be perfect. To be more accurate, I would give them a 4.9. Now, having said that, I want to be clear that we are very happy to have our loved one at the Willows. She is treated like family by all the staff. And speaking of the staff, (the Executive Director, Administration, Life Enrichment team, Nurses, Caregivers, PT, Dining Services, Housekeeping, and Maintenance) they are all dedicated to the well-being (physical and mental) of every resident at the Willows. They go out of their way every day to provide a facility that will result in the residents being happy, safe, and as healthy as possible. My mother-in-law calls the Willows her home and the staff and residents there her “Willows Family”. She always tells her visitors how wonderful she is treated by all the staff. The campus is beautiful and very well maintained. If you are looking for a facility for your loved one, I don't feel you can beat the Willows in Harrodsburg. My wife and I never dreamed that The Willows would be such a blessing to her, to us and to our family. I recommend The Willows at Harrodsburg 100%!
This campus is stunning! It is kept clean and comfortable for the residents to feel right at home. The staff from management on down are lovely and always greet you with a smile. It is a true blessing to have such a facility in our small town. Knowing there is a place close to home that provides the highest quality care and treats the individual with love and respect makes my heart feel a little less heavy knowing one day we may need the services they provide. The culinary team are outstanding! I almost forgot to mention the yummy food!
