My father was at Willowbend in 2018 with advanced dementia including the need for supervised feedings and general daily care while being confined to a wheelchair. He received excellent care by all departments and personnel. He always had the biggest smile on his face because of all the attention he received from the medical staff and even from the director and marketing staff. He introduced one staff members “as his girlfriend” on one occasion. He was near the end of life and required a lot of supervision which I am pleased to say he got at Willowbend. He was moved to an in-facility hospice house about a week before he died. Those caregivers bragged about the quality and integrity of his skin for being a bed ridden patient. They asked where he had previously been cared for because they were impressed with his obvious care. Making a decision to move a loved one to a nursing facility is difficult, but I highly recommend Willowbend Healthcare in Marion, Arkansas. It felt like home to us!
As someone whose job is corporate support, I can say it is a pleasure to work with the staff at Willowbend. They are always focused on the happiness of residents and families.
Willowbend Healthcare and Rehabilitation in Marion, Arkansas is an asset to our community and surrounding areas. It's a blessing to have this beautiful new facility here. When I have visited the facility the staff is professional but friendly and attentive. but most importantly the residents are happy.
This is a beautiful home on a golf course that has caring and professional staff. They put their residents first in all decisions and they are good at communicating with families about the care provided.
Unless you have the money or good insurance, you'd probably be better off finding another place. Communication is ZERO. My mother died there and I have YET to hear from anyone at this facility except for the bills for her time there. They didn't even call when she died, they left it up to the hospice on call staff. Not to mention, things that went to the facility with her, were no where to be find when we got there to see her for the last time. I could continue but you get the idea.
I can’t believe the nurse in charge did not call anyone in the family to tell us that our stepmother was found unresponsive and taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead sometime later. We happened to find out about her death from a family member calling her to check on her. She was told that she had passed away. We don’t even know what hospital she was taken to. Of course this happened on the weekend so nobody seems to know what’s going on. So uncaring and unprofessional especially since we haven’t been able to get in to see her. And yes we were all in the call list. There are no words to describe how upsetting this is.
Facility failed to notify any family that my stepmother had been found unresponsive...had been sent to hospital and pronounced dead...and not even told us which hospital she had been sent to. NOT ONE SINGLE FAMILY MEMBER WAS CONTACTED. Had to call just to find out she had been sent out and was already dead..but they weren't sure which hospital. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN??
This may be a nice place but they are the most unprofessional people my family has dealt with. They gave our family the run around for five days concerning his admission and at the last minute when he’s being discharged from the hospital they told us they didn’t have a bed available.
