We loved the care that my father-in-law received at Windsor Gardens! The staff was kind. The facilities were kept clean. There was no smell throughout the halls. And most importantly my father-in-law was wheeled into rehab, but was able to walk out! Thank you to all of the staff at Windsor Gardens!

I put my brother in to Windsor Gardens straight from the hospital. The staff there were all GREAT. They took such good care of him, fed him right and helped him regain his health. I’m taking him home today. I have worried for years about the day when I’d have to put him into a nursing home. I’ll not worry any more because now I know that I can depend on Windsor Gardens to serve his needs in the event he needs nursing care again in the future.

The people at Windsor gave my mom the best service and treatment from the time she got there until she left. The nurses worked with her throughout the whole time. Keep up the great work
