Wind Crest was a quite nice facility. It had lots to offer for the residents. The staff was quite friendly and very helpful. The food was very good. The amenities were plentiful. They had game rooms, a swimming pool, exercise rooms, putting greens, and many different things to offer. They also had a very large number of club activities.

It was a major mistake to become a resident. I've never had to pay so much for incompetence. They have pushed growth to the point that they are incapable of managing it. The buildings all have major issues, and the maintenance staff brags about in excess of 1,000 maintenance requests monthly. Think about that frequency. The dining and other amenities look good to tour groups, but they fall apart when utilized.

My husband and I moved into an Independent Living apartment about a year ago. We chose an older building, so the apartment was beautifully renovated for us before we moved in. We have a large balcony where we enjoy sitting and tending our planter boxes. We love using the well equipped gym, pool and hot tub The fitness department is excellent, with a great staff and many classes offered. There are 9 restaurants to choose from and the menus change monthly, with weekly specials leading to lots of variety. The Dining Staff works hard to respond to residents feedback. The campus is lovely and well maintained. The staff is friendly, positive, and helpful. It's been easy to get to know people and make friends due to the large number of resident run clubs and activities. My husband enjoys the Woodworking shop, and we've joined the Hiking Club, Learners Club (3 sessions of classes a year), and Pickleball Club. We feel lucky to be here!

Wind Crest Senior Living is a huge senior living place, and it looks excellent. I like everything about it. They probably have 10 different buildings. But it's a different gig because you're buying into it. They have 5 or 6 different restaurants, and I've eaten there many times because my mom's friends live there. So, we're invited quite a bit. They have a pool, a salon, and a gym.

A good friend and fellow resident died earlier this month. While the primary cause of her passing was medical, the general lack of concern for the her welfare and that of all residents by Wind Crest (WC) officials contributed. Her dying request to me was to help educate "potential residents" about what life is really like if one is to move themselves or their loved ones to Wind Crest. About one year, prior to her passing, she tripped on a temporary rug in the entry way to her apartment's building, breaking both legs and an arm along with other injuries. No one from WC ever called her to enquire about her welfare, offer any kind of assistance or even to wish her a speedy recovery. After many months in various hospitals and rehab facilities, she returned to WC only to find that life was even more challenging with her new physical limitations, caused by her fall. She found it increasingly difficult to go to meals and visit with friends because of the long distances to the restaurants and the inadequate shuttle service which refused to stop at her building. She asked me to advise all potential residents to leave the commissioned sales personnel behind and have an honest conversation with a number of residents who have actually lived at WC, Come to Prospect Crossing, the building where both of us live(d) and ask what it is really like . They will hopefully discover, before they sign any binding legal documents, that reality is quite different from the rosy picture of retirement paradise that has been painted for them by the Sales and Marketing personnel.

We're at Wind Crest and we decided to go with Mill Vista Lodge for my husband, which is part of it. It just was a lot more convenient for both of us. I can get there in a matter of a few minutes, so we decided to go with them. It's their skilled nursing area that he's in. It's been very good. Does he get the care that I gave him? No. But it's a learning process, and he's only been there maybe a month now, six weeks at the most. Things are getting much better. They're beginning to learn him. The care is decent. The staff is very personable. They're willing to listen to certain things that I know, like the easier way to put some of his clothing on him, because he's hemiplegic. They're willing to listen to what I have to say and learn from what I learned taking care of him for seven years. They give him a menu every day. He gets to pick what he wants. He usually has a couple of choices on entrees and maybe on some vegetables. Most of the time, he likes the food. He cleans his plate. They probably need to have a better CNAs-to-residents ratio, especially at nighttime. The are some things on the cleaning part that I wish they paid more attention to. Everybody has their own bathroom and the corners should be cleaned a little better than they are.
