I recently noticed an ad you were hiring for caregivers and CNAs yet the pay was “from” $13.50 an hour! You ought to be ashamed! That’s not a living wage, yet expected to take care of another individual or individual’s while you also suffer and can’t even afford basic necessities with that wage! You can make more by doing less at any fast food establishment! Your employees deserve better, let alone the clients! Stop trying to get yours from cheap labor! Pay for quality! Your reputation is more important!

Great location in the downtown Kenosha area!!!! Southwinds offer delicious well prepared meals , but most importantly a caring and attentive staff. I would recommend this place to everyone!!!
Anna Beth
I would never recommend this place. Can’t keep staff whats so ever. When you have loved one in there you literally have to babysit to hopefully your loved one is taken care of. So happy we made the best choice to get our loved one out of there into a better place that fits her needs. Please do your research sending someone there. Staff is more on their phones and taking care of their selves.
