Windham is a large senior community on about ten acres, located a few miles outside Clovis in Fresno, California, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care services, so folks who need help with bathing, dressing, or getting around can find support, but active seniors who don't need much help can live there too. The apartments range in size, with studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, plus some cottages, with layouts from 468 up to 1060 square feet, and the campus has over 100 units and 88 beds. There's a skilled nursing wing for those who need more medical care than assisted living can provide, and a memory care community helps those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, featuring designs and programs that work to keep people safe and comfortable, with care plans shaped for each person.
Windham supports caregivers and families with resources and information on senior care planning, costs, and how and when to start care, which can help make tough decisions a bit easier to understand. Independent seniors can enjoy maintenance-free living, while assisted living folks receive help with daily tasks, medication, meals, toileting, and mobility. Trained staff are on hand all hours, and the respite care lets families take a break when needed, offering short-term help.
The grounds are well-kept, with walking paths, a courtyard pergola and patios, garden spaces, and a dedicated dog park, which really suits those who enjoy being outside or have pets. There's a swimming pool, a fitness room, and the Forever Fit program keeps residents moving. Activities include crafts, music, movie nights, exercise classes, and outings, plus special events like Hot August Night with an Elvis lookalike and a Harvest Festival bring folks together.
Windham's buildings have welcoming entries and a bright lobby with dark wood floors. Inside, residents use spaces like a library, billiards room, bistro for snacks, restaurant-style dining room, and a salon/barbershop. Meals are chef-prepared and served with options for allergies, heart health, and diets like dairy-free or sugar-free, through a program called ENCORE. There's Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes in apartments, and arranged transportation and parking.
Residents can worship on-site or off-site, and the schedule includes devotional activities. For anyone needing memory support, a secure area has programs and features that try to reduce wandering and confusion. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, parking, maintenance, and concierge services are all available, which makes daily life easier.
Windham keeps people engaged, with regular community programs, holiday events, and resident-run clubs or activities, helping people make new friends and feel a sense of belonging. The environment aims to be supportive and caring, and while no place is perfect, many folks find Windham offers a simple, comfortable way to enjoy this stage of life, with a community rating around 8.5 out of 10.
