We are living in The Windcrest on Van Dorn. The facilities are very good as well as the amenities. It is a very good community. It feels more homey. The dining room and dining are excellent. As for the staff, you couldn't find a better staff. The food is very good. They put too much emphasis on pork, but other than that, it is very good. Almost every week they have some type of entertainment. They have singing groups and surprise tours. Almost every week they have some type of entertainment. We have a nice apartment, but it is small.

The people at The Windcrest on Van Dorn were fabulous. The facility manager was great and made my mother feel very comfortable. All of the people were very friendly. The facility and apartments were very nice and very clean. We had an aunt live there before, so we're fairly familiar with it. They had a lot of activities, including shopping and trips. They also facilitate doctors' or dentists' visits.

A family member was a resident of Legacy Estates Assisted Living for four years. Our family was confident she was safe, provided excellent meals, meds, showers given, help dressing, etc. Accurate medical records were maintained of all meds given by Staff and ready prior to each medical or DDS visit. All employees were friendly and services within the building were in excellent condition. Lovely place live.

Windcrest keeps Residents until they use up all of their money and have to go 9n Medicaid. My Grandpa was there and the Director told my.mom, after we already moved GPa in, that when he got down to about 20,000 dollars my mom should start looking for somewhere else for Gpa to live...also the food is horrible and the Director was always in her office and not with the Residents...plus I never saw,her smile...she got a promotion...haha.. I would not recommend it...We moved Gpa out.

We liked the rooms at The Windcrest. The biggest downfall was that it was pretty big. The rooms were great. We probably liked the rooms best. They had a nice courtyard. The dining area was nice, they had a nice lounge, and they had lots of nice amenities. We did not see any activities, but we talked to their activities director and the activities seemed very appropriate and diverse. The staff was very positive and very helpful.

Windcrest on Van Dorn is an excellent assisted living facility for an aging parent. The administrative and support staff are very caring and attentive to my mom's needs which provides us with a peace of mind knowing she is in good hands day and night. The Windcrest sets off the main road making it a lot quieter than most assisted living facilities. Their food service is very good with lots of variety. The Windcrest will meet all of your expectations and more!

I liked the Windcrest on Van Dorn, but unfortunately, they were not able to handle my mother. The place was newer with nice rooms and staff.

My mother loves this place. She has never lived alone in her life. She feels very safe here. She says nothing but GREAT things about the staff and the attention and care they give the residents. I dont live close to her, so it's a Blessing to know she is happy and safe.

We chose Windcrest because of the location, services and the price. The staff is very good, attentive and caring towards my parents. The food is good, I wouldn't
call it outstanding but the service they provide is excellent. The dining room is very nice. They could improve on food quality.

Windcrest is very nice. It's large. Sometimes, they don't have quite enough staffing. They have wonderful staff that tries to do it all, but sometimes they'd be trying to push two residents at once, which is not a good thing. But, it is a very nice facility. Good people.

A co-worker of mine's mom died and she had to get her stuff from the assisted living home. As we are good friends and there was a decent number of bigger things, she asked me to drive up, back things up and bring them back for her while she planned the funeral.I drove up there after work on Thursday and found that many of the staff had assisted in packing things up and left cards for my friend. Some of the staff were sad when I began moving things. While I got a decent look around, it seemed like a decent to good facility, what struck me was the somber mood many had. When I had walked in, it was quiet, but not sad. As I began carrying things out, I noticed residents and staff crying or fighting back tears from time to time. I was offered a free meal about half-way through, which I ate and it was pretty good. While the facility offered many normal amenities and seemed to be quite well furnished, the thing that struck me was the obvious unity these people felt. It had been 2 days and they were sad about the loss. While I did get an informal tour from one of the nurses, the tour isn't what stood out. It was the sense of communal loss at having lost someone. While many reviews discuss the amenities or the price, I think, when it comes down to it, it is the personal connections people make at these types of facilities, that we really want for those we are looking to reside here. And my friend's mom seemed to have this in abundance at the facility.
