Windsor Heights Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in Beachwood, Ohio, and aims to support older adults who want to stay active while getting the help they need, so you'll find services for both assisted living and memory care under the same roof. The community accepts people over 55 and brings daily help for those needing it, such as dressing, bathing, and managing medication, and if someone has Alzheimer's or other memory challenges, staff tailor care plans to fit both early and more advanced needs. The place focuses a lot on safety and comfort with a secure memory care area, staff alert systems, and extra steps like air filtration to keep the air clean.
For meals, Windsor Heights serves restaurant-style food with an Anytime Dining program, and the kitchen uses the MIND Diet for brain health while also catering to special diets, so you'll get meals prepared with good ingredients whether you're a resident or a guest sharing a meal. The facility also offers short stays for those needing a break, hospice services, and a chance for residents to age in place when care needs grow. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and regular housecleaning come as part of the package.
There are private and companion bedrooms, some of them called Windsor Heights bedrooms, and residents can gather in nicely decorated areas with natural light, fireplaces, and a TV lounge, or sit at tables with chandeliers in the dining room to eat. The surroundings include walking paths, an inner and outer courtyard, patio gardens, gardening beds, and a gazebo, and the building's stone accents and neutral colors help it feel homey and modern at once. Residents can use the jacuzzi, try the sensory spa, relax by the piano, or enjoy free satellite TV. There's a beauty salon with a beautician on-site to help residents keep up their appearance too. Showers are wheelchair accessible and rooms get cleaned and maintained, though sometimes there's wear and tear in shared spaces.
The staff, with roles like Executive Director, Health Services Director, and Life Enrichment Director, have experience, and keep working to improve care. The facility uses the HOPE BLOOMS™ Life Enrichment Program, which comes from Montessori principles and encourages physical, social, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual activity. Some special programs include the Virtual Reality Bucket List, letting residents experience trips or adventures right from the building, and sensory-based activities, including something called snoezelen, to help with mood and comfort. Memory care residents take part in cognitive activities and therapies, including meditation and sensory spa time, and programs are meant to support dignity and positive well-being. There are group events like religious services for Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant residents with chaplains and rabbis visiting, volunteer projects, wine tastings, gardening, and purpose-finding workshops, and transportation gets residents out for offsite activities if they wish.
Windsor Heights tries to make things easy and open for family visits, keeping gathering spaces available and a welcoming atmosphere throughout. The grounds have neat landscaping, unique foliage, and walking paths, which help people stay active. The memory care program comes with an all-inclusive monthly rate starting at $5,800. The environment is smoke-free, there are systems in place to keep residents safe and calm, and the dedicated staff try to help everyone keep their independence for as long as possible. Communal and private areas, services for all sorts of daily needs, and a setting that balances security and freedom make Windsor Heights fit both those who want an active lifestyle and those needing more support as time goes by.
