After falling and breaking his shoulder, my 91 year old partner and I decided it was time to sell the house in the foothills and move to an independent living community. We had looked at Winding Commons a few years ago and liked it, and when I visited again I still liked it—easy choice. We moved in at the end of December 2025. Michelle, the Marketing Director, explained everything on our tour of the property and was very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls. Her professionalism made our move as painless as possible at a crucial time in our lives.<br><br>This is our sixth month at Winding Commons and we are happy here. Food is surprisingly good with plenty of variety, staff is very accommodating, maintenance has been prompt, there are plenty of activities, property and grounds are clean and well tended, and the community is a friendly bunch. One of the best things is we don’t have to worry about either of us falling. Winding Commons was the right choice for us. 😊

Talked to front office and activity coordinator who was very young and probably her first job ever. Then, I explained I have few clients who live there and need some info regarding care and plans, but they kind of brush me off b/c they only want to work w/ Kaiser.<br>They’ve allowed Kaiser to come in and make presentations and treat ‘em well, so there’s a huge bias towards one company versus another. We know not everyone fits in the same category. I will definitely report it to the city and state

The minute I walked in here, I knew this place was for me. The glitzy new places had no comfort. This feels like home, safe and real. The workers knew me in the 1st week. The Chef is wonderful, and listens to your needs. Plenty of events, exercise classes, and happy hours. I feel like I'm on a cruise ship. 😊
