I helped my loved one get the accommodations there. He is physically comfortable there however the only meal he will eat there is breakfast. He does not like the food served for lunch and dinner. I have mixed feelings about recommending Windward Palms.

The camaraderie is excellent, and the activities are great. They keep my mind busy. I also feel safe with the grab bars and the way the place is set up. But it’s way too expensive. My Social Security gets eaten up by the rent, and the food is horrible. I barely eat and have lost a lot of weight.

The building itself is nice, and [name removed] room is good. His biggest complaint, which apparently is shared by many of the folks there, is that the food is not very good, and there is no place close by that he can walk to for a better meal. He also thinks the management is poor, and many of the workers do not seem to want to be of help. He was pretty miserable at first, but fortunately he is making friends, which makes a big difference. Another thing that would be useful for folks to know is that the transportation arrangements are not very good. They only have one tram that is available at one fixed time on two or three weekdays, and there is no tram that can take him to Sunday church services.

The size of the unit is good for them. Of course they would like larger because they are you still living in a house their entire lives so that's understandable. Mom loves the activities she really enjoys bingo. Sometimes they have an art class. I don't recall specifically what like a painting or something what she's enjoyed. They also have horse racing. She also loves that there's a hair salon because she can get her hair done once or twice a week which makes her feel good. It would be nice if they could start a book club or perhaps have like a mobile podiatrist unit to properly trim the toenails as I see that as a challenge with our seniors. Dad really enjoys the fitness center. He wishes there were more equipment to use but he goes almost every morning. I did notice upon my last visit that on the weekends, the laundry room garbage is not being emptied and it's literally piling over. Also, I had put in a maintenance ticket because one of the dryers in the laundry room near my parents really doesn't work well and from what I understand it still wasn't fixed.

The food is not very good and I feel like they're aren't a huge amount of activities. Otherwise, my father is happy with cleanliness and the facility in general.

Winward Palms, I guess is probably pretty much standard like other independent living facilities. I guess the biggest complaint is that it's not really independent living. There is a lot of people and I would say close to half of the people that are there are not independent living, they are assisted living there in wheelchairs. They are in walkers they need Assistance stressing they need assistance for everything they do during the day so can't even walk. This interferes with the people that are independent in their living. In additionally, additionally, the biggest complaint is the eating facilities. Food is mediocre at best. However, I am not a gourmet eater so it doesn't really affect me an awful lot. What hurts is when I see people Coming in that are new and they go to sit at a table and they get told right away on the first day that they're there you can't sit here. This table is reserved or that chair is reserved for somebody. And then they go to another table and they get the same Complaint. You're not able to sit here because we have all these chairs at the table reserved for other people when the manager has meetings she always tells everybody there are no reserve seats however it's not what really happens when people go to sit where they are not assigned. I also find it very unfriendly a lot of the things that go on there there's an underworld of ways of working and you have to figure those out for yourself. There's no way to really complain and get something done about complaint. I also had a run in with a lady who is she lived next-door to me but she also had a table in the cafeteria that was just for her. The manager told her that if they needed people to sit there, they would have to she would have to let them and she told the manager no she said she will not eat if she anybody gets put at her table One day I tested her. I sat down at the table before she came and when she got there. She told me that it was her table and I was not allowed to sit there. I said well I was told by the manager that there are no reserve seats in here and she said she got very ugly and nasty with me and told me to get up and get out of there and I would not so she went back to her room and didn't eat that meal. I've seen other people try the same thing with her and she did the same thing. She just goes back to her room and won't eat. The manager knows about it and she does nothing.

My mom is staying at this facility and is happy there. She enjoys the food, activities and the other residents. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they are attentive to her needs. We’re happy with the choice we made.

Their food is sometimes suspect, but with the meals being improved I would recommend this community to other families.

Staff is hard to reach-don't return phone calls. food is served very early and usually lukewarm. Room Size is good for one person. Amenities seem great if the resident uses them.

Some will greet you, depending on who is in front, others won't. My Dad enjoys the food very much and looks forward to it, even though he says the chocolate cakes they serve are so tempting but he tries not to eat them too often. He's always watching his waistline. My father has one of the bigger rooms so it's great! He likes all the amenities, the only thing he wishes is that the pool would be heated.

Not everything is perfect. But most residents will say they are happy to be here. Everyone is pleasant. There are numerous activities every day. Bus transportation to and from grocery stores, medical appointments and outings are provided. Three meals a day are provided. Opinions on the quality of food vary as much as the clientele and their backgrounds. I think it’s pretty good and sometimes very good. I sometimes have a yen for my own cooking and have added a small oven to my apartment. The apartments vary in size and location. They have kitchenettes so you can fix your own meals or snacks. Some have balconies. I have a one bedroom with a balcony. The negative would be the unapproachable attitude of the staff. However, they do get the job done. I’ve made some really good friends and I am happy to be here. I liked the atmosphere the first time I walked in the door.

I like the camaraderie and the events they have but what I don't like and you see happens at dinner is the table tops are only four people and if there was a way of Windward Palms putting together the tables so we could sit eight instead of four there would be a lot less screaming to talk to each other at dinner. usually by dinner time the guys have had one too many and they're very vocal and loud with their friends usually sitting for a five tables down from me. The most part for now is it's safe.

Windward Palms the food wasn't that good. We moved to the Landings at Gentry Park in Orlando to be close to be close to our son 5 minutes away. The facility is only 1 year old. It's beautiful, The food is very good. We have probably the nicest apt we ever had. 12 ft high ceilings a big beautiful full kitchen a full size washer and dryer in the apt. The place is not cheap fortunately I could afford it Look up this place on the internet . You get in this case what you pay for The Windwood wasn't exactly cheap. The food wasn't that good.(the overall experience was good as the people and the staff were friendly and the staff was pretty good. They seem to have difficulty keeping dining room staff. They serve too much fried foods. I asked the chef if we could yogurt at breakfast he said no. Too much pasta. The place is clean. The facility should have 2 elevators Maintenance staff is very good. Overall it's fair. Nothing is outstanding. Activities are not well attended

The community is really nice, my father enjoys being there. We've had a couple of hiccups with admin services but they have been receptive to resolving our problems.

I recently moved my 92 year old dad here. After so many visit around town we settled on a ground floor one bedroom. The price was so affordable and the facility clean and friendly. He loves his apartment and the staff and the food is pretty good! Most of all they are responsive and willing to jump through hoops for the seniors living there. I am happy.

We picked this community, because of the friendliness and accommodation of the staff. And the grounds were great to see via virtual tour/ phone and in person. They are caring, Reliable people in a nicely updated community building. The community is a perfect size and offers what you want and you chose what to participate in. This place looks to be very well cared for and updated regularly. The food was also very well received by my family member. The dining area is nice and open and there is wonderful variety in the menu. The people working here actually do feel like family members. They have a job to focus on but also clearly care about the residences. The residents appear to be a nice wide range or people and personalities that make it welcoming.
