Very few people get to enjoy their “calling” in life.Even fewer are truly passionate about their
chosen profession.
Janet Owen has a special glow when she describes the
WillsCreek Village Assisted Living facility.Her dream to improve the lives of many of her friends and customers
became a reality in 2004.
As a beautician, Janet became aware of the many obstacles
that her clients faced while trying to remain in their homes.Her main goal was to eliminate some of life’s
responsibilities in order to enjoy the more meaningful aspects.
I can describe the facility in one word, happy.Every detail is bright and colorful.The 12 employees laugh and interact with the
residents.
Each of the 32 rooms is immaculate.They will accommodate several pieces of
furniture.Therefore, familiar
surroundings is a plus in making this transition.
The activity room was filled with crafts.The chapel provides a place of worship and
meditation.
Three daily meals and snacks are served.Help with medication is also available. Care is managed 24 hours a day. The residents
enjoy the independent lifestyle.
Janet is providing a home for the residents.She is also solving a problem for the
sandwich generation.Many families are
raising children while they are caring for their parents.
Janet smiled when I asked her if she missed her beauty
salon.She said that she brought it with
her.The residents love having their own
shop within the facility.
I encourage you to meet Janet and her staff.A tour of the building and an explanation of
services will be given during your visit.Call 845-3277 to schedule an appointment.
