'Great... if you can afford it

From what I have seen and experienced personally, I would give Windermere a 5 on items 1 - 7. However, it's difficult to give a high mark for item 8 simply because the cost is beyond what people of modest means could possibly afford.

A great place to live.

Independent living residents have access to 3 meals a day. There is no "meal plan" and they pay only for the meals they eat. The apartments are spacious and inviting, with plenty of storage.

Very Good

I thought this was the best fit for my dad . It was modern , clean and the people were very friendly.He really enjoys the food and loves that there is a chapel right there for his Catholic mass. He likes not having to go out for doctors appointments all his medical needs are taken care of right there.

Overall great place

We really like it. It's expensive but probably not different from other places like this. The location is very nice. Quiet residential area but close to HyVee grocery store. People rave about the food. I think it's average but reasonably priced. Nice to have a restaurant. Really friendly. Our apartment has lots of windows so very light. Also, they have a beautiful chapel. There are lots of nuns here and it's mostly Catholic but they have a nondenominational service on Wed morning. We aren't Catholic so appreciate that.

Could get better

There should be a check list before you sign up. We were misinformed many times. We do like it but it was a let down on facts before. So many checks and balances and misinformation. I think I could do better

Benedictine Windermere Way review

I would give all a 5 except for the cleanliness only of her dwelling. Our loved one wishes for cleaning more than once a month. Everything that keeps our loved one entertained is available - puzzles, cards, dining, style shows, etc.

Our Experience

My loved one was previously a resident at Benedictine Windermere Way and the experience was okay overall. My loved one had so much more going on at this facility than she did at her previous facility, which is why we moved her back here when we got the chance to.

excellent staff, nice place to live, great atmosphere

The staff is very friendly and willing to help. We have a one bedroom corner unit and it's very light and bright. Big windows and a balcony. 1 1/2 bath. We haven't used many amenities yet but they do offer lots of activities, big variety. Very nice chapel. Especially cater to Catholics. Do have 1 nondenominational service each week

Exceptional place where family members get the care and attention they deserve.

It truly is like a family for my parents. I am totally impressed with all this facility has to offer my parents. Everyone is so upbeat, kind and caring. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It has far surpassed my expectations.

My review

They really need to do a better job of assessing the person coming in. Every week the care need went up and in the third week they said he needed to be in memory care. Also when the care went up he was not getting the care we were paying for. Those are my thoughts

our families experience, friendly and caring staff and residents, would recommend

The tenants are friendly and happy people. They engage with new people and the various spaces are set up great for the events they hold. My father-in-law passed in early December, but the staff was very caring leading up to him having to go into the hospital, and we were able to connect with the housing Director and nursing Director often to discuss his needs and variation of care.

Be Cautious

Poor staff training and lack of qualified staff. Poorly run, very poor communication. aging in place doesn't happen as they said it would for my family member. I witnessed RA leaving the memory care unattended. no accountability in this facility.

The building and apartments are beautiful, the food is excellent, and the staff is terrific. We have been very impressed. Cost seems the same as other Independent Living. but the apartments and ambiance is so much better.
