Testimonials
| Newcomers to WindsorCare As the first to move into one of the new Townhouses on site, we have settled in very well. Doing the “life laundry “of a 4 bedroom home to 2 bedrooms was a challenge but being able to rent an extra single garage on site was a huge bonus. The Townhouses have been planned very well and of course its North facing aspect is amazing. The kitchen, dining and living is a comfortable space. The kitchen has great storage, fabulous back splash and quartz bench top. All appliances throughout are fantastic. The dishwasher is super quiet which is really appreciated in a smaller area. All staff are very welcoming and approachable – you are quickly one of the Windsor Community finding your own level of involvement. As I am still working part time I look forward to a time when I can join in more with all the activities offered. Judy and Mike. June 2021 |

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
