Overview of Diamond Willow Assisted Living

Diamond Willow Assisted Living provides assisted living and memory care in Detroit Lakes, MN. Assisted living supports residents with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while they maintain their own apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 30 beds. That places it in the smaller-community range, where staff and residents can get to know one another. Diamond Willow Assisted Living opened in 2004, and its Walk Score is 81, classified as very walkable, so most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently.
