Our family is incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my mom received during her four years at Westwind Memory Care. The management is enlightened, and the staff is both caring and highly knowledgeable, creating a safe and supportive environment for residents. The medical care provided was reliable and effective, and the home-cooked meals—prepared with fresh ingredients—were outstanding. Residents were always offered three meals and two snacks daily, ensuring they were well-nourished. What truly sets this facility apart is their compassionate approach to working with dementia patients. The staff treated my mom with dignity, understanding, and kindness, meeting her unique needs in ways that brought us peace of mind. In addition, the daily activities were thoughtfully designed to engage residents, keeping them busy and enriched throughout the day. While the cost of care is significant, the rates at Westwind Memory Care are comparable to other facilities offering similar care in Santa Cruz County. We cannot thank the team enough for the love, respect, and care they showed to my mom and to us as a family. I wholeheartedly recommend Westwind Memory Care to anyone seeking memory care for their loved ones with dementia.

This is the best place in santa cruz county. Ricardo was very helpful and accommodating. Its a beautiful building that borders a natural area with great views. The staff makes sure everybody gets dressed and gets them out so they dont languish in there rooms. No complaints from me, and im a notorious complainer.
