Bill: “try it—you will like it.”
Bill’s journey to Willoughby Manor began with what was meant to be a simple 30-day trial stay. It didn’t take long for him to know he had found the right place. After experiencing the community, the people, and the atmosphere, Bill says he could not imagine being anywhere else.
Valerie describes the activities as second to none.
Valerie has called Willoughby Manor home since March 30, 2023. What began as a short respite stay quickly became something more meaningful. From her very first day, the community felt like home, and she soon made the decision to stay permanently.
“
The activities are second to none. There is always something. I love being able to laugh with my friends.”
I have rediscovered a joy for learning new things. I love being with friends and the consistency of not being busy all the time.
It has made a huge difference with my self-confidence. It is safe, comfortable and there is something for everyone.

Started as a 30 day trial and I loved it. I could not imagine being anywhere else.”
I think it’s the friends you make and all the different people here. There is always something to do. It has made everything easier. I would recommend it to anyone. This is a great place to be.
I have gotten out of my shell more since being here. It helps to be around good people at this age, and we are.
