“My father was recovering well here for a couple weeks. And then he passed unexpectedly in his sleep next to his wife, my mother. I have not been given an explanation to this day as to how or why. Weeks later they sent me a survey asking “How did we do?” And “How likely are you to recommend us.” Truly heartless.”

“I wonder if I can give zero stars for a review. Becouse one star is too much. lets see if I can get away with giving them what I think they deserve. I am very happy to be out of there (and still be alive). It only took me about ten days in hospital to recover from Windsor. Love Rob”
