I'm on active duty in the U.S. Navy and have been trying to assist my father from afar for several years. He was living in an Independent Living facility there but his health and overall condition were declining. We decided to move him out to be near me in San Diego. I was connected with Shelby, who was extremely supportive and savvy at dealing with all of the various entities in both FL and CA. She quickly put everything in motion to facilitate his move out here, but unfortunately, my father's condition rapidly worsened and he passed away before we could make the move. I was fortunately able to make it out there to be with him when he passed. I really wish I had learned about Windward and the services that they provide quite a while ago, as there are so many things to navigate in the realm of senior care. Shelby, in particularly, was compassionate, responsive, and very knowledgeable on all aspects of care. I've personally recommended to friends to reach out to Windward in trying to assist their aging parents, and would do the same for anybody here. Thank you!

It may not be easy for most senior citizens to accept the need for regular help with activities of daily living after having lived a full, independent life. But Windward makes this process as smooth as possible. They are very professional and caring and provide expert personal help for those older adults who want to remain in their homes. Highly recommended.

My mother had a very bad fall and could no longer take care of herself. I had to find a place…read morequickly. My mother was on a wait list for a place but she wasn't ready to go when an opening came up and unfortunately there was not an opening now that she was ready. I called Senior Care Authority and Harp answered my call. She was an angel. She quickly gathered a list of potential care-homes for me to look at in the price range I could afford and I was able to do some phone interviews and I toured three of the houses. Harp toured the house I was most interested in with me. It was a new care-home opening up. I was able to pick the room I wanted for my mother and she was able to get a private room. There are only 6 residents so I know my mother isn't lost in a large facility. The house is beautiful and they keep it spotless. Visiting hours are very reasonable. They keep a good schedule for the residents and they have hospice available. The food they serve is very good. Harp came to the post Acute Care facility my mother was in after the hospital released her from their care. She helped me with all of my paperwork and coordinating the release date from Post Acute Care. She came to the house and checked on us the day I moved my mother in which was really sweet. This was a situation I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's scary and emotional and so stressful. Once Medicare says "no more care" you have to take your family member out of the facility or pay out of pocket. You want to do the right thing. If you can't take care of your parents for whatever reason in your own home or their home, you want to find the right situation for them and be able to afford it. There's so many horror stories out there. I can't recommend Harp at Senior Care Authority highly enough for helping me make it through the whole event and getting me through to the other side. Getting help from someone that knows what she's doing was the best decision I made. Thank you Harp!!!!!

The private home is run by Thomas and Lisa Trice and the timing of finding this home was perfect. Mom has been living there a little over a year, moving in just before the COVID-19 Pandemic really escalated. PERFECT TIMING. We were able to move mom's bedroom furniture into her private bedroom to give it a homey atmosphere as well as hang pictures and other family heirlooms on the walls. The entire staff is always attentive and respectful and the home is always clean and tidy. Sarah, Percy, Teru and Paul are the wonderful caregivers and Ester prepares all their meals, truly Angels on Earth. Our family is blessed to have mom in this truly loving environment and highly recommend this HOME to anyone interested.

She had no money and they wanted to kick her out. We were frantic and felt great despair because of her low social security income. My neighbor directed us to Financial Security Designs . Mr Tony Bevin- Medi-Cal and VA Benefits Consultant. We hired him immediately after our first consultation seeing the wealth of great knowledge and experience he displayed . He immediately took charge following up with the skilled nursing facility and secured her safety and her room. A huge relief. He mentored us and directed us as to the process . He did the tackling and took the whole responsibility with the case workers on their level. Even after her passing when the case was in jeopardy he said " Its Not Over "! And he fought the governmental medi- cal dept. Nothing was sweeter than to receive his email that the case ended with a win for Aunt Sharon . There is no way unless you do this for a living that one could expediate and understand the lingo and facilitate it the way Mr. Tony Bevin did for us . We will forever be grateful . I believe because of his 30 years experience and knowledge in dealing with cases year after year he allowed us to bury her with respect and dignity in her final months. I would highly advise and urge all families to reach out to Mr Tony Bevin with any and all problems with Medi - cal and VA affairs. Thank you Tony for caring enough to fight our fight .

I began researching Memory Care facilities but soon found the process to be overwhelming and daunting. The best decision I made was to reach out to Virginia Renker of ROSE. She spoke to me over the phone at length as to who my husband, Danny is. The person behind the insidious disease to best ascertain what facility would offer the best combination of care and comfort for his remaining time. She possesses a wealth of empathy, knowledge and compassion. We met at the Care Facility for a Tour and I instantly realized that it was the one. Assuming my contact with her was concluded I was awed to find her contacting me several times since for updates! She charges nothing to you for her services and I couldn't possible imagine going through this without her guidance and support. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to place a loved one in a Care Facility I highly recommend you reach out to Virgina. She's a true gem and you will be glad that navigating placement was one thing you didn't have to tackle alone.
