We rang in the New Year in true Willow Falls style with a rockin’ New Year’s celebration featuring Jeff Dewbray! 🎶 Our residents danced the day away, laughed, sang along, and truly had a blast from start to finish.

Dining Service Director Ernesto treated everyone to the most delicious desserts. We had a wonderful turnout for our New Year’s party! A huge thank-you goes out to our incredible Activities Team, our hardworking Kitchen Staff, and our amazing Volunteers events like this are only possible because of you. 💛

We wrapped up the celebration with a festive balloon-drop countdown, complete with champagne and grape juice toasts, followed by a beautiful sing-along of “Auld Lang Syne.” What a perfect way to welcome the New Year together.

We also had such a fantastic holiday season! Keep an eye out for upcoming posts highlighting some of our wonderful events that we didn’t get a chance to share with you yet there were so many special moments worth celebrating.

✨ All Aboard the Jingle Bell Trolley ✨
We wrapped up today with our final Holiday Lights Trolley here at Willow Falls, and what an incredible way to close out the season! From the moment our residents stepped aboard, the joy was contagious. The trolley sparkled with dazzling lights inside and out, laughter filled the seats, and holiday magic followed us every mile of the journey.
Our annual Holiday Lights Trolleys are truly one of the highlights of the season. They bring smiles, memories, and that warm, festive feeling that makes this time of year so special. As we look back at all the wonderful moments shared across each group, we’re already counting down the days until we can do it all again next year.
Enjoy some of the many photos captured along the way, and thank you to our residents for making this season so bright and meaningful. Here’s to another year of holiday magic at Willow Falls 🎄✨

✨ The Holiday Fun Continues to Sparkle at Willow Falls ✨

The holiday season continues to mesmerize us here at Willow Falls! Last week, we were thrilled to welcome not one, but two wonderful middle school groups who filled our community with music, laughter, and the true spirit of the season.

Our residents were treated to beautiful holiday carols, warm cocoa and cookies, and heartfelt moments that brought smiles to every face. These joyful visits mean so much to our residents, and the memories created will be cherished long after the season ends.

A heartfelt thank you to Hubert H Humphrey Middle School and St. Jude School New Lenox for sharing your time, talents, and kindness with us. You truly brought the meaning of the season to Willow Falls, and we already can’t wait to welcome you back next year!

Ho, ho, ho, Holiday Magic was truly abuzz at Willow Falls today as we celebrated our Breakfast with Santa Buffet! From delicious food to joyful moments, it was a morning full of smiles and holiday cheer.

Our guests enjoyed cookie decorating and a fun holiday craft for the kids, and each child went home with a special gift bag. Our residents also loved their visits with Santa, making memories that will last long after the season ends. It was truly a day filled with great food, great friends, and great times.

We look forward to our monthly buffets more and more each month and can’t wait to celebrate with you again in January!

Our Willow Falls team embraced the spirit of the season during their annual Holiday Cookie Drop 🎄🍪
The team transformed their community bus into a festive holiday ride, put on their best seasonal gear, and delivered delicious Christmas cookies to some of their referral partners, including Ascension Living Villa Franciscan Place, Spring Creek Nursing and Rehab, Sunny Hill Nursing Home of Will County, Alden Estates of Shorewood, and Alden Courts of Shorewoodl.
This fun and thoughtful initiative was a fantastic way to connect with referral partners and spread joy throughout the community. We love seeing our teams bring creativity and heart to everything they do. Great job, Team Willow Falls! 👏
