A core philosophy at The Landing of Winder is to enable residents to “age in place.” This guiding principle means that as residents’ care needs change over time, the experienced care team is fully prepared to provide continuing support within the scope of their licensure, so that residents do not need to move elsewhere during periods of health transition. The community’s team, which includes experienced nurses as part of its management, works closely with families to help navigate healthcare decisions and provide guidance and comfort during significant life changes. The approach also embraces care coordination with home health, therapy, and end-of-life or hospice services, ensuring that residents receive comprehensive support no matter how their needs may evolve.
The Landing of Winder emphasizes a vibrant lifestyle through a diverse and engaging activity program. The approach goes beyond basic recreation, supporting the whole domain of each elder’s well-being and encouraging integration with the broader community.
