Ventana Winds Retirement Home sits in Youngtown, Arizona, where things feel relaxed and friendly, and people like to call it family-oriented because there's a small-town feel to it with lots of warmth in the air. The community is a verified senior living place through Seniorly, with starting costs for a studio around $4,800 a month and private rooms about $5,030, though prices change based on the type of room or level of care you need. There are several types of apartments, like studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom options, and many apartments have walk-in closets, patios or balconies, extra storage space, a full-size refrigerator, and individual air conditioning and heat, and every apartment has ceiling fans, cable TV, kitchenettes, and bathrooms set up for wheelchair access. All the apartments are spread out in a three-story assisted living building that's settled between a swimming pool and a courtyard, with big floor plans and bay windows letting in lots of light.
The grounds are landscaped, so every walk outside feels peaceful, and there are lovely views of the courtyard, which is something people tend to notice. Residents enjoy regular apartment tidying, weekly deep cleaning, laundry and linens service, and there's maintenance for the apartments and all the common areas as well. All utilities, including cable TV, are wrapped up in the monthly rent. The dining room has restaurant-style seating, and chefs and meal planners make sure meals are prepared fresh-there are options for low or no sodium and gluten-free diets, and staff serve guest meals too.
People living here can get help with daily basics-dressing, bathing, grooming-and healthcare services cover medication management, diabetic and incontinence care, and non-ambulatory support. The staff includes nurses and caregivers who are fully trained, and 24-hour staffing means there's always someone nearby if help is needed. There's a secure setting in the memory care area for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, using care plans tailored to each person and offering activities to help keep minds sharp.
Activities and programs at Ventana Winds Retirement Home fill the days, with things like morning stretches, exercises, water aerobics, billiards, pokeno, bingo, and bowling, and there are daily events like walks, board games, trivia, Bible stories, cards, movies, and arts and crafts. The staff tries to promote a maintenance-free and independent lifestyle, encouraging everyone to stay active and social. There's scheduled transportation to appointments and shops, plus an emergency call system throughout the building. The building is handicap accessible and welcomes pets, so people don't have to leave furry friends behind. The setting is quiet but still close to shopping, restaurants, golf, sports arenas, medical offices, and cultural sites.
