PositiveIt doesn't get much better than this
My mother was at Westwind Memory Care for 8 months, until her passing under hospice care. Please see my review of Westwind on Yelp for my full comments. In a nutshell, this place was fantastic. Highly recommended.

PositiveWestwind Memory Care
Staff is always available to talk to me. They are all so friendly and take very good care of my husband. Admin staff is amazing and so very supportive. They understand everything about my anxiety over placing my husband there, and have given me wonderful counseling. The food is very good; I always taste it first before giving it to my husband. I truly believe Westwind is the best in this area.
