“We loved the care that my father-in-law received at Windsor Gardens! The staff was kind. The facilities were kept clean. There was no smell throughout the halls. And most importantly my father-in-law was wheeled into rehab, but was able to walk out! Thank you to all of the staff at Windsor Gardens!”
