It 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.

Westwind 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.

I would recommend to anybody

The staff members at Westwind just love my husband, he loves to dance and whenever the music comes on the ladies will come up and dance with him. We really appreciate all the interaction the residents and staff. It is a really nice big open area where our loved one can gather with everyone. The residents an wander all the way around the community safely. Everybody's room is along the outside walls. The center is open with a big sitting area and T.V. His room is always nice and clean, bed is always made and bathroom…
