Westminster Oaks sits on a wooded, gated campus in Tallahassee, Florida, where you'll find neighborhoods of detached villas, mid-rise apartments, and garden homes, and you can walk along the trails, see tall trees, and always spot a neighbor or two, now it's a Life Plan Community-some call it a Continuing Care Retirement Community-so folks can pick independent living with roomy apartment residences or houses, and there's help close by for those who need more daily support through assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing care or home care, because the community made sure to build spaces meant for easy living and safe movement, and if someone needs Alzheimer's or dementia support, there's a secure area just for that purpose, and the staff aims to help with daily needs whether those are big or small, from bathing to remembering medicine, and those who want to stay sharp will see the Maguire Center for Lifelong Learning, where, thanks to Florida State University, people can keep learning, which helps many folks stay active in mind, and you can also join classes or attend wellness activities through the My W Life wellbeing program, and the grounds have lots to do, with fitness areas, walking paths, spaces for group activities, and events to keep people connected.
Residents find that the campus is a comfortable place, because maintenance and lawn work are handled, and there are many options for dining, with seasonal menus that aim to provide balanced meals, and the kitchen uses good ingredients, and for folks who need more medical care, there's on-site pharmacy support, therapy, rehabilitation, and the skilled nursing team, and families often feel a little more peace of mind knowing care options cover a wide range, and even as needs change, people can get more help without needing to leave the community. The community's reputation holds up, as it earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal for National Quality Approval and even Newsweek's nod for best Continuing Care Retirement Communities in America. There's always a mix of social opportunities, with plenty of activities to keep people engaged, and tours help new folks see what happens day to day, including dining, programs, and life on campus, so most people find something to look forward to. Information and planning help are also available, making it easier for new residents and their families to figure out what level of help is best, and with everything located on one big campus, the transition from one kind of care to another feels a little less hard.
