The Windsor of Lakewood Ranch offers several kinds of senior living, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and a continuing care retirement community, so there's quite a range of support here for residents needing anything from a little help to more hands-on care and for folks living with memory issues. Residents can take part in Legend's Life Enrichment Programs, with activities like group games, arts and crafts, music, cultural events, and educational sessions, and these go along with plenty of recreational spaces, including a recreation room, gym, movie theater, outdoor patios and garden spaces, a wellness room, and a living room with a fireplace, so there are lots of choices for spending time. There's a library, a sun room, a screened lanai, and the grounds have tropical landscaping with outdoor walkways and an enclosed courtyard, so the environment tends to stay both pleasant and easy to get around for most. The residence has a country kitchen, a bistro serving coffee, tea, and snacks, a Palma Sola dining room, and a courtyard café for more casual eating, along with snack seating areas and private dining rooms for family visits or small groups.
Staff includes 24-hour associates and licensed nursing associates who provide daily support and also handle specialized tasks, with a licensed nurse on staff for health needs and Windsor Companions who can offer one-on-one help like reading, shopping, and supervision, while visiting services such as podiatry, portable x-rays, and therapy also come into the community here. The community offers medication management, bathing and dressing help, mobility support, and regular housekeeping and linen service, and health monitoring by full-time staff is included. Emergency systems with speaker response, controlled entrances, fire safety features, and emergency generators in some areas aim to keep everyone safe, and maintenance is done regularly. Apartments come in seven styles, all with private bathrooms that have curbless showers and wall-to-wall carpeting elsewhere, and each includes a kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, sink, and cabinetry, and some folks will have apartments with large windows or special layouts.
Meals come from the Gold Leaf dining program, which provides three chef-prepared meals every day in a restaurant setting, and dietary services handle allergies, restrictions, and in-room tray service if needed. Transportation helps residents get to local appointments and excursions, and there's a range of activities to keep people interested, from art workshops to religious services, music, outings, and educational opportunities, all put together by a Life Enrichment Coordinator and a nurse developing tailored wellness programs. There's an onsite salon and spa, a therapeutic whirlpool spa, a post office area, a gym, game tables, and regular offsite activities. Indoor spaces use non-glare lighting and low-pile carpeting to reduce fall risk and also help folks with low vision, while building design uses floor-to-ceiling windows, a stucco exterior, and a terracotta roof, creating a bright, mission-style look.
Personal support aims to let every resident keep as much independence and choice as possible, with personalized care plans and the option for extra services as needs change. The focus centers on keeping people comfortable, respected, and safe, with staff encouraging social connection and privacy, so older adults in many different situations can find something here that meets their needs.
