Located in the park-filled community of Cranbourne West, Willow Wood provides ageing-in-place in a warm, welcoming environment. We're conveniently located across the road from the local shopping strip and just 10 minutes from Cranbourne's main shopping district.
Willow Wood offers landscaped gardens, perfect for an afternoon stroll, a golf putting green, an on-site cafe, "gold class" style theatre and Man Cave with pool table. We also have a hairdressing salon and wellness centre / gym, along with a busy roster of activities including a weekly happy hour. Residents enjoy a high standard of comfort and care describing Willow Wood as a ‘home away from home’.
The home places an emphasis on independence, choice and wellness.
Home Features
All rooms are light and spacious, and residents are encouraged to add personal touches with mementos, photos or small furnishings. Willow Wood rooms are single with en suite bathrooms, built in wardrobes with a lockable cupboard, ceiling fan or individually controlled air-conditioning, hydronic heating, flat screen TV with Foxtel and Wi-Fi. We provide clinical care and palliative nursing for residents, including those living with dementia. We have an approachable and experienced manager, dedicated team of housemates and energetic social support staff to care for residents’ needs.
Willow Wood features Lifeview's award winning Home2Home (H2H) small house model of care. H2H is a relationship-based model, where multi-skilled staff (housemates), work with the same group of residents, all the time. H2H enables staff to spend more meaningful time within their household, creating better continuity of care and building on already established relationships.
Broaden Your Horizons
Willow Wood has a friendly, homely vibe with plenty of activities on offer through Lifeview’s Horizon Happenings program. The monthly Horizon Happenings calendar provides a variety of daily activities and exercises so there is something happening for everyone to help live the possibilities.
Themed events like Christmas in July and special days such as ANZAC Day, and Footy Grand Finals are specially celebrated at Willow Wood. Any reason to have a party, get dressed up, decorate and have fun, we’re living it. Residents also eagerly await the fortnightly Coffee Afternoon with Lifeview's Resident Advocate Gill.
Residents get out and about, with weekly bus outings. Keeping up community connections and discovering new possibilities is a big focus at Lifeview. That’s why we have our own Lifeview bus to chauffeur residents to local happenings.
At Lifeview we are all about “How Can We Help You”? Our goal is to make living at Willow Wood as comfortable and entertaining as possible for residents. That’s why we have implemented the 5 Ways to Make My Day and Magic Moments initiatives. The 5 Ways to Make My Day program is all about the small, but important things to each resident. These are individual and personal, helping us to care and laugh daily to make each resident’s day.
Magic Moments are just that. They are moments that are truly magic to our residents. At least once a year, it is our privilege to help make a wish come true. Residents look forward to this moment and talk about it for years to come. Residents family and friends are invited to come live this Magic Moment with us.
"Willow Wood is not a facility, it’s a home. I love my job. For me it’s an absolute privilege and an honour to care for the people that choose to live with us. I get so much joy out of bringing people in, making them feel safe and showing them that coming to Willow Wood isn’t the end of their life, it’s the start of a new and exciting chapter."
