The reviews for Willow Creek Gracious Retirement Living present a mixed picture. Many reviewers praise the facility for its friendly and caring staff, beautiful and clean environment, and a wide range of activities and amenities. Residents and their families appreciate the sense of community, with some describing it as feeling like a family or a four-star hotel. The dining experience is often highlighted positively, with three meals a day and a variety of options, although some mention issues with menu choices and food quality. However, there are significant criticisms as well. Some reviewers express dissatisfaction with management and staff turnover, inadequate handling of situations, and security concerns, including reports of theft. The facility's policy on notice periods and payments has upset some families, particularly in sensitive situations like hospice care. Additionally, there are complaints about the high cost, small apartment sizes, and lack of certain care services, as it is strictly an independent living facility. Overall, while many residents and families have had positive experiences, others have faced challenges, particularly regarding management practices and security. The facility seems to excel in creating a welcoming atmosphere and providing engaging activities, but there are areas for improvement in communication, security, and consistency in service quality.

My dad lived at Willow Creek for three years. He loved living in this wonderful senior retirement place. He enjoyed doing the special activities they have. The management is very accommodating to the needs of the residents. When you walk into Willow Creek it is like walking into a beautiful hotel. I was very grateful my dad had this experience there.
