Excellent facility

My parents (yes both) live at Winter Growth. I'm an RN so very familiar with facilities such as this. The care they receive here is very good. The nursing aids are wonderful and there is a strong emphasis on making sure that there is a variety of entertainment for the residents. The first thing I noticed is that every employee from the front desk secretary to the cleaner know everyone's name by day two. That's impressive. I hope they continue for a long time.

Outdated Center and the staff seem to have conflicts with each other. Boring activities. Not a place for my dad!

Sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience when you visited our Center. We do try to meet the needs of a variety of people but understand if you feel your Dad would not enjoy the programs we offer. I hope you are able to find a better fit for your Dad.

Tour was very nice. No private bathroom offered with Medicaid Waiver, no microwave in room. At this time my mother will not accept these terms.
