A wonderful place to call home
Both my parents spent the last five years of their lives at Windsorcare - my mother in the Special Care Unit, and eventually the Hospital Level care, and my father in a cottage in the Village, followed by Resthome and Hospital Level/palliative care. My father enjoyed his cottage, making many friends among other residents and staff. All the staff at Windsorcare, at all levels, were friendly, professional and devoted to the elderly in their care. They not only became a second family to my parents, who were treated with love, respect and dignity at all times, but also gave wonderful support to me and my family. Highly recommended!
Description
