Your peace of mind is our top priority, as it should be at any assisted living community. Our retirement campus is nestled among acres of beautifully wooded grounds in Appleton and offer a broad range of lifestyle and care options to provide our residents with worry-free retirement living.
Willow Lane provides individual, compassionate care and ongoing support throughout life’s challenges. We work tirelessly to preserve dignity and empower choices; delivering all we do with a smile.

Our dream was to have an Appleton Assisted Living Facility. This is a place to live and enjoy life while people could enjoy nature and all the natural surroundings.
The senior retirement community is built on 24 acres that is being restored back into all natural gardens with native plantings and fruit trees. Our residents at this Appleton Assisted Living facility will enjoy the change of seasons with fresh fruits and vegetables grown on site. The landscape also offers a water feature called Willow Lake. A beautiful covered bridge leads to walking trails that take you through the native prairies, gardens and orchards throughout the property.
