A leading provider of comprehensive healthcare for senior populations will open the door to residents in late February after having showcased the facility in mid-January.
Trilogy Health Services newest Michigan facility,
The Willows at East Lansing, will bring 127 accommodations and 145 new jobs to Greater Lansing. The Willows will offer residential services that include short-term rehab, long-term care and skilled nursing, assisted living and specialized memory care.
"Trilogy is very big when it comes to the customer service side of things," says Nora Luke, community services representative at The Willows. "We pride ourselves on a person-center approach to care, combined with a state-of-the art health campus."
Called a "village center," The Willows campus consists of two stand-alone structures. A 60,000-square foot building will provide a mix of private resident and companion suites for assisted living and long-term care, while a second 30,000-square foot building called "The Legacy" will provide accommodations exclusively for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
"Our memory care piece sets us apart," says Luke. "The standalone building was built from the ground up to serve the needs of people with Alzheimer's."
The Willows also takes a restaurant style approach to dining, with chefs and skilled food and beverage professionals on the soon-to-be-deployed staff. Food is made-to-order, with multiple serving options throughout the day.
Trilogy's 14 million dollar investment in East Lansing will bring about 3 million in salaries to the area. A second Trilogy facility will open in Okemos this spring. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Trilogy operates 77 properties across the Midwest, with Michigan viewed as a growth state.
