Benedictine Windermere Way is a "top-notch" organization and facility. It doesn't feel like an assisted living facility, but more like a five-star hotel with amenities. It's the home my mother deserves. She loves it here. It is her home. I also want to express my gratitude towards the staff for their "hands-on" personalized care for my mother. Asked once why she didn't "go bigger" Mother Teresa stated that: if you deal in the numbers, you will be lost in the numbers. Your staff lives this truth day in and day out, based on their exceptional personal care for all residents. I do have one complaint. My mother hasn't been winning in bingo lately: not claiming foul-play. It's the only negative I could think of. I'll just have to take her more often to increase her odds. My eternal gratitude towards the staff at Windermere Way. Sincerely, Jerry Plonski.

I have been a resident here for the past three years and I am very grateful for the welcoming spirit that surrounds me here. There is a wide variety of activities each week and I also enjoy the food and the thoughtfulness and courtesy of those who serve it.

We have lived here for 18 months and are happy to call this home. The staff are so helpful and supportive of our needs in this stage of our lives. There are activities planned for everyone and everyday. My wife is in memory care and there are nothing but angles taking care of her there. Everyone here has been so helpful in making sure you will have an enjoyable time living here.
