    Lastly, prospective residents noted favorable impressions during tours due to attentive administrative staff who answered questions comprehensively while offering options available regardless of whether families chose The Windsor or another facility altogether. This dedication illustrates an ethos focused on helping individuals find suitable care rather than purely filling vacancies within their community—a noteworthy approach earning further respect from potential clients seeking assistance for aging loved ones.
