We found Windmill Ponds through a community event they hosted and knew right away that this would be a perfect place for my mom to live. We had a smooth transition into assisted living and every single staff member truly makes the place feel like home for the residents. They are all so attentive, helpful, friendly and caring, and mom has adjusted well in the time she’s been there. It gives my family great peace of mind to know she is in a safe, loving community.

I had a great experience working with Ryan M. He answered all of my questions and was so understanding with walking us through this transition with my parents. I highly recommend seeking out Ryan to take care of your needs.

It was a difficult decision to move Mom to an assisted living home. It is wonderful feeling to know that she is no longer alone at night. If she needs something, the caregivers are there to help! Thank you Windmill Ponds Staff!
