“It’s good to be home,” says Heather Matumeak, Willow House Front Desk Receptionist, who has been working at Bertha Moses Patient Hostel during renovations.After six months of planning and construction, the Willow House opened their doors to house the first five guests in the newly renovated Willow House patient hostel.
All guest rooms have new paint, flooring, light fixtures, exhaust fans, A/C units, furniture and linens, and hotel-grade TV and phone systems. Joyce Sommer, Willow House Manager adds a special touch to each room with her hand-folded flower made of towels.
On the main floor, one room has been designed to accommodate person who is at end-of-life, with a connecting room for the family of that loved one. Across the hall is the community gathering area with kitchen accommodations in order to support family gatherings and meal preparation, as well as laundry and vending machines for hotel guests to use.
There will be on-site staff members to assist with travel, bill, and case management needs. As well as a shuttle service, to transport patients to and from appointments, airports, and shopping as needed.
To make reservations, call Willow House at 907-459-2500.
