Overview of Willow Brooke

Established in Union, Missouri, at 1 Potomac Court, Willow Brooke operates a 50-bed assisted living community administered by Tonya Bishop under Union Court Residential, LLC. The single-story building houses studio units of 236 square feet, accommodating residents requiring hands-on support with daily activities alongside respite, hospice, and adult day club services. Pets are permitted on the premises.

The facility’s operational structure centers on round-the-clock staffing that includes licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. Residents receive three daily meals prepared by on-site chefs, with menus designed to address individual dietary preferences and needs. Housekeeping, laundry, scheduled transportation, and concierge support form the service backbone. Security systems and emergency response protocols operate continuously.

The physical plant and programming reflect a lifestyle-oriented approach. Enrichment programming, social events, and an activities calendar drive resident engagement.

Library access, a gym, and structured fitness classes support active pursuits. Gardens, walking paths, and various outdoor areas provide recreational space. Dining rooms facilitate community meals and gatherings. An on-site salon and barber provide grooming services. A chapel serves residents’ spiritual needs.

The neighborhood is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 20 out of 100, indicating that daily errands require vehicle access and walkable amenities are sparse. The facility sits 0.8 miles from the city center.

A significant operational factor: Willow Brooke does not accept Medicaid or Medicare. The community operates exclusively on a private-pay model, limiting admission to residents with direct payment capacity or private funding.

The community addresses older adults able to fund private care directly, requiring assistance with daily living tasks within a new, safety-equipped, activity-rich residential setting.
