Mom has been at Windchime of Chico for a couple of weeks now. We fell in love with this place. The experience has been wonderful. The people are super accommodating and nice. Mom raves about the amazing food every day. Their cleaning abilities are not up to our standards, but it is what it is and Mom loves it there. She has a big lakefront window, so she's quite pleased. Her room is huge, bright, and airy. She has her own bathroom and a microwave. The dining area looks lovely. It looks like an actual restaurant with little menus. The residents have a choice if they don't want what's in the meal plan. They've got many different varieties of other food that they can choose from. It's very clean and has a very inviting atmosphere. They've got people that come in and sing, they had Oktoberfest about a week ago, and they've got something going on daily.

I toured Windchime of Chico. I'm highly allergic to smoke. I asked if there was a smoke-free area and there was not. I mean, there's a place for smokers, but not for people that don't smoke. That alone would stop me from going any place if they don't have a smoke-free place, I'm not going. The lady was very nice. The people were clean and everybody was helpful. I thought the rec area was kind of small. The place was very nice. It just does not fit me. The staff was courteous. They were helpful. They were informative.

Windchime of Chico is not very clean. We were looking at assisted care because they had lots of room for us. The staff were just fine and did a good job. The activities and amenities were OK, but the place just did not seem to be cared for very well. They should improve on basic physical care of the place, like replace the carpets, clean the furniture, or replace the furniture in the in the community areas because they were just not cleaned up. As far as the rooms went, you can't really tell too much. The rooms that they showed us looked OK, but the community areas needed help.

Windchime of Chico was a very, very active community. There are a lot of activities going on all the time. The rooms were very clean. The biggest size looked comfortable and nicely furnished. They have manicures for the residents, arts and crafts, religious services, and cooking classes. They also have a game room and a big lounge where a lot of people just hang out, play games, and talk. It seems like a much livelier place.

We toured Windchime of Chico. The tour was good, but I didn't feel the activities were going to be enough. I felt like the memory care community was kind of tucked back in the corner and not really acknowledged. The facilities were very nice, but I didn't really see any of the amenities. The assisted living was much nicer than the memory care unit.

I've been living in Windchime of Chico assisted living for over a year now. We just looked at all of them, my daughter helped me, and the two of us just thought this looked like the best. I'm in a small studio apartment and it's comfortable. The staff is very good, they have good med techs, caregivers, and housekeeping people. Everything seems very good because we have good maintenance people that take care of everybody. The food is okay. It' s done by a person who's also done the menu depending on what seniors should be having.

My mom is now at Windchime of Chico. She is there for assisted living. She's not complaining about it at all. It's a really good facility. The people are very helpful because she needs added care and not just sitting in her room. She's kind of incontinent. She tells everybody she loves it. We're really happy with everything. My mom has a studio. They have variety; we got the middle size for her, but it is really big. She has her own private bathroom, and she has a little microwave, refrigerator, and sink in there. We brought a lot of stuff over there, and it all fit. Even after we first moved in, she wanted other things. We brought those, so it's a very nice room. They have singing downstairs. They have a piano in there, and people come in and sing. They play bingo. They have a full calendar of different kinds of events. They have meetings, where the people staying there can say what they dislike or like about it; that was good. There's a couple in there that's been there for 17 years, and they're happy. My mom loves the food. The food is number one to her.

The care they give my mom is great but the administration and communication to us is terrible. You can’t ever talk to the administrator. He/she is either at lunch, on the phone, in a meeting, on a zoom meeting or etc. they are never available. There administration is terrible.

My brother is at Windchime of Chico. They take really good care of him. They're conscientious of his diabetes and that he's a fall risk. I think they're doing a really good job, and he likes it there. I haven't had a whole lot of interaction with the staff because of the virus, but I've spoken with them on the phone, and they're all very conscientious and they love his cat, so he's happy. I don't think there is anything to complain about. I haven't really been inside because of the virus. It was on lockdown when he moved in, and I didn't go in. I've never seen his room, but the outside looked great. He doesn't have any complaints. I'm satisfied.

Windchime of Chico was OK. The rooms were all nice. They all had their own bathrooms whether they were shared or single. The rooms were great. There was a nice yard outside, too. The staff members were nice. However, I didn't appreciate the memory care place and the residents not being able to go to the dining room with everybody else. You're paying all that money but my mom got to eat in this other large room where patients were in their bed moaning and talking to themselves. It wasn't a happy place.

My mom is doing fine at Windchime of Chico. We are very pleased with it. Their caregivers are very thorough. I'm always getting unsolicited information about my mom. They keep me apprised of what is going on. Everything seems to be going smoothly. They have a full calendar with four or five activities a day that are available. There are currents events, exercise once or twice a day, walking club, some arts and crafts, and there is a person that visits from my church once a week, which is nice. They have a lot of music, too. They offer hairdressing and podiatry, outings where they go outside, and housekeeping. They provide three meals a day as well. The staff members are very good. The place is very clean. It is a good value, too.

Windchime of Chico is beautiful. The studios are comparable. It is on a little man-made lake, and it is pretty. It is expensive because it is advertised as assisted living. As far as assisted living, if you want to pay for that, it is a very nice place. They have a nice patio overlooking the lake, which is very nice. The dining room is in a beautiful setting. The workers are very friendly. I think it is a very great place.

My father-in-law has been doing OK in Windchime of Chico for about two months now. Everything is good and clean. The people are nice, and the food seems OK. The staff is good to him, but he's not been very active.

Windchime has some issues with medication errors and the staff, and I’m not happy with it. It’s a nice facility with nice activities and things going on. My mom has a problem with certain staff and thinks that things are being stolen from her daily. It might just be her or it might be a real issue. There’s a lady who comes in to do weekly haircuts and also people who do pedicures. They have a lot of entertainment, which is good. A lot of people come in and play music, and there’s quite a bit of activities. Of all the places that she has been, I think Windchime is pretty good except they’ve been having a lot of problems with the medication, and the management does not pay attention sometimes. They also seem to have some staff issues. Sometimes they have people who aren’t doing too well and don’t seem to take care of patients or deal with them like they’re supposed to. They have a chef, and my mom is pretty happy with the food.

People I know have been at WindChime of Chico. It's a beautiful place aesthetically, but they wanted to put my husband into the dementia area, and I said no. Also, when I checked out the dining room, the ratio of CNAs to patients was not very good. Each CNA had too many clients. The apartments were adequate, but small. They had card games, exercise, yoga, etc., but my husband is not very sociable.

WindChime of Chico was a lovely place. If I needed help, that's where I think I would stay. I thought it was beautiful. The day I went there, they had their residents out and doing simple chair exercises. They were leading them through exercises and I thought that they were very patient and very pleasant. I thought this would be a good place.

My mom was in WindChime for six years. Mom didn't need care then as she does now. They had ownership change and it became much less personable. They just made some changes that made it not as fun and enjoyable as it has been when she first got there. She became more physically needy as far as personal hygiene and all and they just did not seem to be able to manage that for her. So we had to put her in a smaller place who knew what her need was. The first four years, she was very happy. But when they had an ownership change, they were not as accommodating as when she was first there. She likes the food there because they work with a chef. Since there were a number of patients such as herself who do not have restricted diet, they're allowed more familiar comfort food. For the first four years she was quite active with community groups and stage plays through the social director there who was terminated when the new regime came in. For a first time assisted living environment, it was perfect for her. It was appropriate for her needs. It's very clean and is in a beautiful location so she could walk around the lake and see the ducks and the birds. She certainly enjoyed the first four years she was there, being involved with the social director and the community. She was actually on their billboard and had been interviewed for TV. Her room was one of the rooms they bring potential family members to look at because we decorated her room. She had an apartment and they were very gracious about that. We wanted her to feel like she had her own little home.

My husband is at WindChime of Chico. His room has a view of a lake. The staff is doing an okay job. The food is good. The portions are good; they have a larger meal at lunch time and a smaller meal at dinner time. The facility is clean and new.
