Southwinds 2

After losing my husband of 48 years in death, selling our home of 30 years because it was to big, and falling into a state of depression, my son and daughter decided I needed a new scenery and Southwinds became my new home and I LOVE IT. This Facility provides the Gated Security that I was looking for and provides all of the extra Activities and Amenities that you could ask for and each floor is pristine clean. Everyone is friendly and always ready to lend a helping hand. The Management Staff is Friendly, Observant, Professional, and extremely Knowledgeable of the care and daily operation of the building. Living here has really helped me through this transition and I'm proud to call Southwinds HOME.

I am [name removed]. About six months ago I scheduled a tour at the Southwinds active senior living facility in White, Plains, Md. One of the residents agent-took me on the tour of building 2 and 3 for about six months. The tour person was very professional. Took time in showing me the apartments, the amenities and just overall the tour was outstanding..I am scheduled to move into one of the apartments at the Southwinds Senior active community [date removed].

I am overwhelmed with the quality of care. Can't ask for anything better, keep up the fantastic work.

Southwinds has been great! Definitely check it out and consider it for your loved one. It is very well-kept, has great management, and is a great, safe community for my mom.

Had such a pleasant experience with [name removed] touring the community and even though I'm not moving at this time I would recommend this community to everyone! The fact that there is a secured gate and you need to call to enter the building was a plus!

I absolutely love this place. There are functions that the residents host with food or dancing, cards and exercise. The apartments are very spacious and the building I'm at provide a resident storage area. The office staff is very nice and always accommodating and professional. The maintenance has always been on time with fixing anything that needs attention and the buildings are kept clean at all times.

The first thing that stood out to us was the overall cleanliness, that would get a 5+. Presentation wise everything is very well decorated and not just during the holiday season. Everything is put together so well, its very inviting, all of the shared spaces have nice furniture. Also, you can really tell this community was set up well to be accessible to everyone, whether you can walk on your own, use a walker or have a wheelchair you can get everywhere. The parking lot is on the same floor so you don't have to use any stairs, the parking lot has benches in case you get tired from walking you can sit down and rest. They really cater to all of their clients needs, and it is just a well thought out building.

Moved in with amenities which owner SABA has taken away. Has nothing to do with Covid. They are getting new move ins with summer Specials. Then when lease renewal comes, rent is raised $250 per month with fewer services. Would never have moved in knowing what we know now.

Price gouging with rent increases through the pandemic as much as $90 monthly increase. Pet owners got a surprise during the pandemic, raising pet rent AFTER pet owners moved in! Cars broken into. Parking is a nightmare with inadequate signage for resident parking. Even commercial vehicles parking in handicapped spaces! Young visitors taking spaces close to building from residents.

We chose this community because it was the best price for what you were getting and had immediate occupancy. The room my mother had was a very nice size, but the rooms vary. My favorite part about the community would be the activities they provided for all of the residents. I would recommend Southwinds 2.

The staff meeting and fellow residents have been extremely friendly and welcoming.from the first day I began my move and continue to be. The activities that have been planned have been enjoyable to take part in. These have included a social hour every Friday evening, movies with popcorn, games and dances. I do like the security of the complex and each building.

This place looks more and more like a nursing home. So many residents in wheelchairs and a host of others on walkers. Several suffer from dementia or alzheimers. Probably because it is advertised as an alternative to Assisted Living. It is named Active Adult Community, but it really is not. The rent is raised regularly and is very high which is a hard$hip on those of us on a pension.

Southwinds has a very competent, effective property manager. There are a number of physically or mentally handicapped residents, most with caregivers. It's a good deal financially, considering the cost of assisted living. I have lived here over a year. Visitors park close to the handicap entrance, making residents with mobility issues park further away. There are plenty of handicap parking spaces, but more people with tags/placards than spaces. There are lots of activities for residents with a Bistro and a theater room for movies/meetings. Pool, ping pong, pool table, exercise room, sauna. We have Happy Hour every Friday which is a covered dish dinner prepared by residents. Spirits are provided which I don't take. There is a van to take residents shopping. Thursdays there are donuts and bagels with spreads referred to as Coffee Chat. There always seems to be coffee. I don't drink coffee. These all take place in the Bistro, which is also just a friendly place to meet.

When we moved in, everything seemed good. The other residents are friendly. There is one office staff who should use their talents elsewhere, not around seniors. The parking is not regulated--a free-for-all. We asked specifically about young adult males living here and were told they aren't allowed. BUT that's not true. In fact, there are children living/staying here.

I'am very satisfied with my move to this community. There is always something for me to do. There are many activities offered though out the week. The staff is wonderful, they have been very responsive to my concerns. They do a very good job of the cleanliness of the community. The grounds look lovely, I enjoy walking around the grounds. A place for mom was great with all the help they provided, they are good at what they do. I would highly recommend these Senior Apartments to anyone.

This is one of the best of the very few options in Maryland for those of us who want the quiet of an adult living facility. There is a wide diversity of ages, race and physical abilities. It is not intended to offer medical services on site, but each apt has safety features included. The people I've met so far (it's only been two months) all seem friendly, and there are a fair amount of activities where you can meet and greet your neighbors. I find the apartments to be very spacious, and the surroundings well maintained, and clean. The biggest asset is the management staff who are friendly, accessible and do everything possible to accommodate your needs.

This is the newer of the two Southwinds buildings and it is really nice. I was immediately impressed with the beautiful lobby and the bistro (both buildings have a bistro). The apartments on the upper floors have a balcony and the rooms are adequately sized. As with Southwinds I, this building seems very well maintained and I like that the residents have a shelf outside their door to decorate as they please. Apartments at both Southwinds are reasonably priced considering the location and the amenities. Staff was friendly but was unprepared for my site visit for some reason. If not for medical concerns, I would strongly recommend Southwinds II to my parents.
