Discovery Village At the West End

Discovery Village At the West End sits in a large, modern campus and offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, continuing care, and respite care, and you'll notice as soon as you walk in that they try to make things easy to understand and comfortable for folks at different stages in life, so whether someone's living alone and gets around fine or they need help with daily tasks, staff work to provide care that fits the person. They've got communal dining, chef-prepared meals, and three meals each day with tableside service in a big, tidy dining room that's easy to reach, and staff help with health needs like medication reminders, skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and assist with personal tasks like bathing and getting dressed, while memory care staff train to help people with dementia and the place often shares information and podcasts about dementia, stages of memory loss, and ways to cope. Every week, housekeeping and laundry get done, and there's someone on staff around the clock, with a nurse part-time, for extra peace of mind and an emergency call system in place. Room options like one- and two-bedroom apartments or suites, some named after islands such as The St. Lucia or The Grand Cayman, include kitchenettes and kitchen appliances, so residents can fix their own snacks when they want, and there are special memory care units called The Antigua, The Bimini Grande, and The Costa. Around the building, you'll find a movie theater, a library, a grand lobby, a spa with a therapeutic tub, a spiritual chapel, a beauty salon and barbershop, and fitness rooms with organized health and wellness programs. Outdoors, you can sit in the garden, use the terrace with BBQ area, or join a game or group outing, and for pets, they welcome small dogs but don't allow cats or smaller animals. Residents get rides to shopping or appointments through general transportation, there's a full calendar of events, and programs like Be Our Guest, Ambassadors Club, Sensations Dining, Celebrations, and Dimensions Health & Fitness are there for extra variety. For folks looking for memory support, the SHINE® Memory Care program helps people living with Alzheimer's and other dementias, giving special attention for safety, health, and daily routines, and the staff keep up their training so care stays consistent. Some extra supports include mobility help, continence and glucose management, medication tracking, family care conferences, and personal help with clothing. The place runs on a supportive, friendly philosophy, focusing on dignity and choice as folks age, and offers things like respite care when families need a break, or special programs for military veterans. There's recognition for care and friendliness through a couple of awards, and for those wanting to see how the community fits their life, tours are available to meet both staff and residents. Everyone gets a personalized care plan shaped to their specific needs and there's a concierge to help each day run smoother. The whole campus aims to be maintenance-free so seniors can enjoy hobbies and social events, join fitness groups, or just take in the company while someone else handles the chores.
