Key Review Excerpts

We just moved our Son into Ventana Winds and in the short time of less than 2 weeks we are very satisfied with Rafael Ramos, Marketing Consultant who worked tirelessly helped getting the paper work correct.

New resident's family · 2026★★★★★

Kudos to Ventana Winds for such an amazing dining and kitchen staff who still provide the best service to the residents even if the residents themselves may not be able to see the care, the residents can feel the effort the staff do.

Local Guide · 2024★★★★★

They don’t log anything that has been going on. No one knows what meds she was given and how often. They let them starve unless we are there to help feed her.
