Westwind Manor

Reviewer RC#0911a

What I liked the most about Westwind Manor was the personal attention given to each family. My uncle stayed there before and his room was spacious, clean, very welcoming, and homey. The staff was very professional and intuitive. They were also extremely friendly and kind. They had many activities like music, crafts, and celebrations. They provided well-balanced homemade meals too.

We toured Westwind Manor, but since our visit, they built a brand-new facility, and we were not able to see that. The tour was very nice. It was small compared to the other places we've been, but it had a lot of one on one interactions with the residents, the faculty there was very informative, open, and it was a nice place. However, they did not transition, and she would have to leave the facility. They showed us all the rooms. There were two residents per room. It's clean, and it was a facility that we could see Mom be at that time.

The staff is great at Westwind Manor. They take very good care of my mother. She says the food is okay although sometimes the food is not hot by the time it's served to her.

Westwind Manor is an elder care facility that truly cares for their residents. A converted manor built in the early 1900's presents itself as a "home" complete with a salon, living room, family dining room and bedrooms that are literally bedrooms. My mom, 89 with dementia and some minor physical restrictions, gets 24 hour care from a staff that seems more like an extended family than skilled elder care givers. She gets three on site prepared home-style meals a day. Her medications are dispensed regularly. She is assisted with showers, dressing and grooming. Her laundry is washed separately from the other residents so it's not necessary to label her clothing. She is brought to doctor visits if I can't take her. When mom fell, a nurse affiliated with the facility, came to take care of her until it was determined she should see an orthopedist. When mom was sent to a nursing home after her surgery for rehabilitation, the staff from the Manor came to visit her. It's hard to believe how completely dedicated to the residents the staff at Westwind truly are. Activities for the residents consists of an occasional night out to a local restaurant & movie theater for a dinner & a movie; transportation provided. Participation in bi-monthly trips to the senior center is encouraged as well. Hairdressers, podiatrists, local school & church volunteers and others provide services and entertainment as well. Birthdays and holidays are always celebrated. Family is encouraged to come and celebrate with the "Westwind Manor family". Although for most of the day the residents are on their own, they are free to do whatever they want; under constant supervision. What I like most about Westwind Manor is the freedom of knowing Mom is OK. I can see her whenever I want and take her out to be with the family for dinner or spend the night. Her medication is prepared ahead of time and she can be with us. I don't worry about her being alone. She is in a clean environment, in her own room, and surrounded by caring people. Westwind Manor is more than an elder care facility, it's a HOME where my Mom is now living and she is safe and happy.
