The Laurels Of Willow Creek operates as a nursing home, providing 24-hour skilled nursing care for both short-term rehabilitation and longer stays. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to handle medication management, wound care, IV therapy, and monitoring of chronic conditions. A physician oversees each resident’s care plan, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists are available for residents whose recovery goals include regaining mobility or communication skills after surgery, illness, or injury.
Additional care features include on-site hospice services for residents who need end-of-life support, coordinated with attending physicians and hospice specialists. Pain management, respiratory therapy, and diagnostic services such as lab work and imaging are arranged as needed. The staff coordinates transportation to outside medical appointments and keeps families informed through regular care conferences. Social services personnel assist with discharge planning or transitions when residents’ needs change.
Accommodations consist of a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each designed with accessibility features like grab bars and call systems for prompt staff response. Climate control, basic cable, and housekeeping are provided, and communal lounges and secure outdoor spaces are available for residents who want a change of scenery. Some rooms have additional features such as in-room showers or extra storage, but not every room offers every option, so confirming specific availability during a visit is recommended.
Meals are prepared three times daily in a central kitchen, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to meet therapeutic and cultural dietary requirements. Residents dine in a shared dining room, although tray service is offered to those who are ill or prefer to eat in their rooms. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals, and specialized nutrition is coordinated for hospice residents who may require modified textures or supplemental formulas. As with accommodations, individual dining preferences and specialized diets should be discussed with staff to ensure they can be met.
