Make Your Retirement Home Your Dream Home With Help from Danette

Many active seniors worry that, in order to enjoy a retirement community lifestyle, they'll have to settle for cookie cutter apartments.  At Willow Valley, we feel retirement homes should be dream homes!  Your residence should fit your lifestyle perfectly.

Our Residents have high standards.  Willow Valley Retirement Communities does too.  So you are assured of a home and community amenities of great character and quality.  And, every Resident is encouraged to take advantage of complimentary design services - "Design by Danette."

Meet Danette Betancourt, Design Studio Director

Danette Betancourt is the Director of our new 2,250-square foot Design Studio.  (That's her on the right in the images above.)  She acts as a guide in choosing custom paints, designer lighting package, or hardwood flooring for your new home.

Danette has spent more than 20 years working with homebuilders and mature homebuyers to create special places.  She attended The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.  Her experience makes the process of selections, ordering, and installation go smoothly.  Danette's enthusiasm makes it fun!

Make Your Retirement Home What You Want it to Be with Our Award-Winning Design Studio

We're proud to say that the Design Studio, located in Willow Valley's Welcome Center, has been recognized with national awards.  But we're prouder still of how this 2,250-square foot space helps our Residents personalize their retirement homes.

Here, Residents can see and touch a variety of design "vignettes," showing how products might work together in a kitchen or bathroom.  There also are more than 20 installed samples of hardwood flooring, carpet, and tile.  See pictures of the Studio in our photo gallery.

Once selections are made, Danette places orders and Willow Valley's Team ensures turn-key professional installation that meets our standards and yours.
