The Wyndmoor of Portage has served the greater Porter area for over twenty years, and folks find it comfortable and home-like, with options for independent living, assisted living, and memory care all under one roof, so you'll see studio, one-bedroom, and companion apartments available in different layouts that fit personal tastes, and the spaces can get decorated with familiar furniture to make them feel more like home. Residents can choose from a variety of amenities, including an arts and crafts room, card and game rooms, library, garden, walking paths, and a beauty and barber shop, while the building offers common areas like lounges and a patio where people visit with each other, watch movies, or just sit and relax with pets, since they're welcome here too. There's a big focus on helping residents stay active, with group fitness, arts, scheduled outings, music programs, and both community-sponsored and resident-run activities on a daily calendar, which folks say encourages friendships and keeps everybody involved.
The dining room offers restaurant-style meals every day, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner planned by a dietician, and there are balanced options available for those watching their sugar, sodium, or seeking vegetarian meals, plus there's an ice cream shop on site when someone wants a treat. Residents get help as needed, with assistance covering bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, medication management and distribution, diabetic care including injections, toileting, housekeeping, and laundry, along with a comprehensive continence management program that helps keep routines easy and comfortable. The Wyndmoor of Portage stands out for its 24-hour supervision and an emergency call system in every unit, so help's always nearby, and licensed staff, including nurses who cover 12-16 hours each day, keep an eye on health and wellness, offering medication reminders, incontinence care, and help with mobility needs.
There's respite care for folks needing temporary help, and home care options for those still living at home but needing a bit of support, so families can get a break. Memory care services are well regarded, with spaces and programs set up for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, focusing on safety, clear routines, and activities that reduce confusion. Each person has a personalized care plan that gets checked and updated as needs change, making sure folks get just the right level of help.
Apartments have safety features like walk-in showers, emergency call buttons, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and in some cases walk-in closets and cable or satellite TV, plus Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. The property's accessible, with controlled entry, offsite devotional services, transportation and parking for those who still drive or want to head out for appointments or shopping, and a pharmacy on site for convenience. The facility's Medicaid Waiver certified and fully licensed for both independent and assisted living, and its reputation for attentive staff and friendly environment has earned several community awards, especially for activities and quality of care. Families often choose The Wyndmoor of Portage for its steady routines, respectful support, and efforts to create a lively atmosphere without making residents feel rushed or overlooked, and with over twenty years in service, the place seems to know how to make mature adults feel cared for, involved, and part of a genuine community.
