    The staff are amazing, so caring and understanding when It’s that “time” parking can be a pain. The staff their knew exactly who I was before signing in, just go to the room and see mom, no time to waste. The elevator is down, run up the stairs!!!

    Cannot share the truth for fear of reprisal to my loved one. But honestly certain, please try to find another avenue to support your loved one than bringing them here. Don't bring your loved one here

    My in laws have been on the 8th floor for almost 2 years. That staff are friendly, kind and really care for the residents. My mother in law has a bad sacral wound and since she moved to Windermere the care has been so good her wound is almost completely healed. They also worked hard to keep my in laws together even though the care requirements were different.
