    Independent living with lively socializing

    I live independently here and love the card games and domino lessons with the other elderly residents - I even found a great romantic interest. Some people can be socially unacceptable at times, but overall it's lively and suits my independence.

    About Windsor Oaks Senior Living

    Windsor Oaks Senior Living started as a community-focused project back in April 2000 and offers a peaceful, quiet setting for seniors aged 55 and over. This small, close-knit community has 28 ranch-style homes spread across a single story, with each home ranging from about 785 to 1500 square feet and every one featuring a glass-enclosed patio that adds bonus living space, so residents can sit and look at the courtyard or take in the greenspace with its interactive landscaping and gardens, and if folks want to get out for a stroll or a power walk, there's an indoor walking track and paths outside, along with close access to Ada Hayden Lake, shops, and restaurants. Residents can enjoy the privacy and convenience of attached garages, and never have to worry about climbing stairs here. There are both one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, all with full kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, and cable TV, plus maintenance and housekeeping services help keep things running smoothly.

    The clubhouse sits at the heart of Windsor Oaks, and there's a guest suite right down the hall for visiting family or friends. The facility has a dining room where freshly-prepared meals are served, and social spaces like a game room, club house, and indoor lounge where people gather for arts, crafts, fitness, educational programs, and group activities. Residents can join in on scheduled van rides, use the courtyards and patios, enjoy Wi-Fi, and have plenty of chances to be part of community life.

    Windsor Oaks covers many types of care, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, hospice care, adult day services, home health care (Medicare-certified), and non-medical home care, and each of these services comes with its own program name. There's a dedicated care provider agency on site, and every resident gets an individualized care plan after meeting with staff for an initial consultation or assessment to make sure needs are met. The staff offers personal care help like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication support, along with nursing, podiatry, wound care, and occupational therapy as needed.

    The community makes safety and accessibility a top priority, with features like a sprinkler system and other enhancements for residents with limited mobility, and there are special safety systems and activities for memory care residents who have dementia or Alzheimer's. Room amenities include regular housekeeping and maintenance, and for added convenience, there's guest parking available. People have a choice of floor plans, and every space is built for comfort and ease of movement. Being jointly owned and run as a non-profit by its own members, Windsor Oaks lets residents enjoy the benefits of home ownership but none of the hassle of maintenance and upkeep.

    Staffing and healthcare ratios are carefully managed, and residents and families are encouraged to look over licensing and inspection records, as well as consider how options like Medicare or Medicaid can help with financing certain care types. Windsor Oaks takes an honest, straightforward approach to every level of care-assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing home care-explaining the differences and providing caregiver tips to help families figure out what suits them best. Residents have access to fitness facilities, transportation, and a guest room for visitors, all in a secluded and quiet setting that helps people feel comfortable and at home.
