Elizabeth

We are moving mom to Windlands East, and I'd say it was the best place for blue-collar workers because of the affordable prices. The staff are very friendly. My mom's apartment is perfect for her. It is a good-sized apartment for one person, but I would not put any more than one in there. The place is very clean, they have current-model appliances, and they make sure everything is up to date in there. It is pretty well kept. I think they have a few selections for each meal. I think that's good, and that is what they need -- a little bit of a choice. They have bingo, arts classes, computer classes, and day trips. They have a computer room, a formal dining room, and private dining rooms.

Windlands East was an old building but very clean and well kept. The staff was very nice. However, it was missing that liveliness that the other facility had. It just seemed a little quieter and a little more subdued. They have a library and an activity room. The dining room is just enormous, and it has huge paned windows so you can see out. It looks like a restaurant; it doesn't look like a dining hall. They have a workout room, and each floor has its own little free-laundry area and trash chute. They have a salon on site where you can go and get your hair done. They have activities. We were very impressed with this community.

We hired Home Instead Senior Care for my mother. The caregivers have been great, but we've had some consistency problems. The caregivers we have regularly have been great, they help with bathing, food prep, washing linens and clothes, and some small housekeeping. The morning caregiver is great, but we have inconsistencies with the weekend person, and we prefer a older personnel.

We used Home Instead Senior Care, but we let them go about 3 weeks ago. They were good, they were fine, but we didn't want them there with this covid going on. My mother liked the caregiver, she was very professional. I had no problem with the agency.

Home Instead Senior Care is good about getting the right person for you. I have been using them for two years now. The caregiver makes up the bed and waters my flowers. I am pleased with them. They're good.

Van

We have hired Home Instead for my father. I wish that one person can come out more often and not so many different person every time. That's the only problem I have with it. I would like to have the same person come out every time. Nevertheless, they do excellent. They don't help him with his medication; I do that. They don't bathe him; I do that. I make it easy for them; however, they always take it upon themselves to clean up a little bit. They go above and beyond. My father is very comfortable with almost anybody we put him with. We haven't used them that long at all but maybe for a few months.

TC

We're using Home Instead Senior Care for our father. They are helping him to engage in different things that will pique his curiosity. They're doing meal prep, but they're also including him in it. They're getting out of the house to get ingredients for the meal, they do exercises together, they talk, she does some of his laundry, and changes his bed and his linens. The agency is a three out of five and the employee is a four out of five. The caregiver is superb, well rounded, and lovable. It's as if my father is her loved one.

Grace

It is clean and they seem to be really nice. The dining area is beautiful and it's just a nice place. The staff was very nice and assistive. They invited us for lunch and the food was good.

Bill

Windlands East was very nice, but it wasn't in a particularly fantastic part of town. I looked at the apartments and I'd rate them a four. The staff was very pleasant to talk to. It was on a Saturday, and the ones I briefly talked to weren't as gregarious and outgoing as the ones I've met in other facilities. It seemed like I was being bothersome when I was talking to the person from food services. They have a full-time security guard with multiple cameras located all over the building, and they have a parking lot. The manager was very nice and very easy to talk to. It's just very expensive. They wanted $2,500 to move in, which was nonrefundable. It's a pretty facility and it's 11 or 12 stories tall.
