Westridge Retirement Community

Westridge Retirement Community sits on Fairfield Road in Minnetonka, MN, near major roads like Hopkins Crossroad and Interstate 394, and offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, and short-term respite care for seniors, all tucked together under one roof, which means people can move between different types of care as their needs change, and the place has its own unique names for areas like The Terraces Assisted Living and The Terraces of St. (name truncated). The community has different housing options, from maintenance-free independent living apartments for active seniors wanting no yard work, to assisted living suites for those needing help with things like bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication management, and personal care, and there are also secure memory care suites made for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, where staff provide 24-hour support and lead specialized programs and memory-enhancing activities. There's skilled nursing and long-term care suites for seniors who need more hands-on care, whether it's after surgery, during an illness, or for longer periods, so there's medical help around the clock if needed, and they've got board and care homes too, which are smaller shared homes in neighborhoods with live-in caregivers for more personal daily assistance. The community feels warm, and there's a focus on both comfort and practical needs, offering several amenities such as a restaurant with good food, a fitness center, woodshop, private movie theater, heated swimming pool, art space, library, business office, storage lockers, car wash bay, garage parking, and a general store, plus accessible features like secure parking, elevators, and ramps so it's easier for everyone to get around. Maintenance and housekeeping are provided, guest suites are available for visiting family, and guest dining means friends aren't left out, while wellness and fitness programs, instructor-led exercise classes, and various social activities happen daily, ranging from art and crafting classes, card games, puzzles, and outings to cultural spots like the Guthrie Theater and the Walker Art Museum. The place has a strong faith-based mission, being part of Presbyterian Homes & Services, which means there's spiritual care, daily worship services, and campus pastors who people can talk to when they need support, while wellness and life enrichment take up a big part of daily life, with meals at home and home health care also available for those who need some help but want to stay in their own space. Folks living here often say the community feels friendly, the staff are helpful and respond quickly, and the building stays clean and comfortable, with recent reviews giving Westridge Retirement Community a solid rating of about 4.4, which seems to reflect care, staff, food, and value, and all this is offered at 11201 Fairfield Rd unit 425 in Minnetonka where seniors can stay active or relax as they choose, with services to help no matter what kind of retirement living they're after.
