Activities
The Willow at Meadow Branch
At The Willows At Meadow Branch, two full-time Activities staff members are dedicated to incorporating the needs and interests of each resident into the planning and implementation of social, recreational and educational activities, both inside and outside of the community. A carefully planned calendar of events contains activities such as crafts, morning stretchersize, hymn sings, gardening, picnics, parties and occasional trips to local ice cream shops (always a community favorite).
The Willows At Meadow Branch has designed a new casual Conservatory with a fish aquarium and nature sounds to enjoy. The new Conservatory provides a fun place to visit with family and friends for coffee, cider, snacks and conversation. The Apple Blossom Festival, a rich Winchester tradition, is an annual highlight for our residents. The Willows At Meadow Branch hosts the annual Apple Blossom Young At Heart Luncheon & Dance.
And for occasional trips away from the community, The Willows At Meadow Branch's mini-bus (with an easy-boarding wheelchair lift) provides comfortable and safe transportation for scheduled shopping trips and other regularly planned excursions.
