Westwind Memory Care in Santa Cruz County receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many praise the facility for its caring and knowledgeable staff, clean and modern environment, and engaging activities tailored for dementia patients. The home-cooked meals and snacks are generally appreciated, although some feel the food could include more fresh produce. The facility is described as secure, with a welcoming atmosphere and a layout conducive to resident interaction. However, there are significant concerns about Westwind's ability to handle more complex medical needs, as it lacks medical staff and relies on third-party services for certain treatments. Some reviewers report issues with cleanliness, citing unsanitary conditions and inadequate housekeeping. Others express frustration with management's communication and transparency, particularly regarding care levels and pricing. The facility's high cost is a common theme, with some families feeling the expense is justified by the quality of care, while others struggle with the financial burden. There are also complaints about staff turnover and inconsistent care, with some residents experiencing neglect or inadequate supervision. Overall, while Westwind Memory Care is praised for its compassionate staff and engaging environment, potential residents and their families are advised to carefully consider the facility's limitations in medical care and the potential for unexpected costs or changes in service.
