Willowbrooke Court at Azalea Trace operates exclusively as a nursing home, supplying skilled nursing care for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residency. The community organizes its services around clearly defined Levels of Care, allowing residents to move smoothly from basic support to more intensive medical oversight without relocating. Each level is structured to address specific clinical requirements such as wound management, IV therapy or post-surgical recovery, ensuring that care plans change as conditions improve or decline.
Clinical resources extend beyond routine vitals checks. Registered nurses are on duty around the clock, supported by licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants who handle daily care tasks. Physical, occupational and speech therapists run scheduled sessions on site, and the electronic Medication Administration Record—powered by Skynet Technology—helps staff track prescriptions accurately. Physicians and nurse practitioners make regular rounds, while social services staff coordinate hospital transitions, specialty appointments and family conferences.
Resident accommodations include private and semi-private suites; some feature pet-friendly policies, complimentary Wi-Fi, and easy access to landscaped outdoor areas. Select rooms have views of Midwest Village or the Nicholas Conservatory & Anderson Gardens, and all benefit from the community’s Skynet electronic health platform that links directly to the nursing station. Not every accommodation offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared in a central kitchen with menus developed by a registered dietitian to meet clinical dietary guidelines, including cardiac, diabetic and mechanically altered textures. Residents can choose to dine in a shared dining room for social interaction or receive tray service in their rooms when medical status requires it. Snacks and hydration stations are available throughout the day to support nutritional goals and medication schedules.
Additional amenities include an activity center where staff lead daily programs, organized clubs and community groups, scheduled yoga classes adapted to varying mobility levels, and access to an executive nine-hole golf course on the broader Azalea Trace campus. A library and computer lounge offers internet access, large-print materials and workstations for residents who wish to stay connected or pursue independent study.
