Willow Winds Assisted Living
Willow Winds Assisted Living provides assisted living in Denver, Iowa, with help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while residents retain their own apartments. The 48-bed community is smaller in scale, which can suit someone who prefers a setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.
Greg Zumbach serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 51 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach select nearby destinations independently.
