Ararat Gardens

My loved one enjoys the activities and there is always something going on. The staff work hard to make sure she is included. She walks and is able to get exercise and be monitored by the staff. My loved one feel safe and secure in the area this is located to be able to go walk. She really likes the food. They provided her a temporary guest suite as she was transitioning to get her belongings to her place into her actual apartment. They didn't push it, or pressure her to rush the move. They knew it was a huge change for our loved one and we appreciate how they took that delicately. They are very caring. The place isn't separated, so my loved one can go visit assisted living residents as well. It's a very open concept. You can see what you are spending is being put back into the community and its residents.

I have not been in Windsor very long, but so far everything has been very good. I do not see anything that needs to be improved. Everybody here is very nice. All the people, from the caregivers to the maintenance staff and everyone else, is extremely friendly and helpful.

Windsor Manor has been the best facility for our 92-year-old mother. She has made many new friends and enjoys many of the activities available. The facility is like a 5 star hotel; the grounds are beautiful and the rooms are kept very clean. The food is gourmet and delicious!

My 87 year old mom has lived in independent living at Windsor for two years. I live in another state, but I helped with the transition, and I feel very strongly that Windsor is a fine and caring retirement community. The staff here is really beyond exemplary; and they very obviously care for the residents. They work hard, are thoughtful and kind. Many of them have worked here for a long time. Windsor is part of the be.group, which is a non-profit organization. This makes me happy--profit is not a motive, nor a concern. Making life comfortable is Windsor's goal. I have visited three times per year, and stayed a week each time. I get to see first hand the community and the sense of family that exists here. I feel confident that my mom made the right choice in moving to Windsor. It is a very safe, clean, comprehensive retirement community. We just had an incredible Christmas dinner, and the staff were all incredible. Every aspect of this place is designed to make life better for seniors.

It wasn't perfect, but nothing is. We were here for a long time. You don't stay somewhere for a long time if you aren't happy with it. They were clean and friendly. The staff was wonderful and they were able to accommodate most of our needs until we needed a higher level of care.

Yeah, they want a $99,000 buy in, then close to $5000/mo on top of that. No buy-in please.
