The Residence at Westport sits at 1141 Post Road East in Westport, Connecticut, right near the Saugatuck River, golf clubs, and parks, and you'll find the beach isn't far either, which means the location's pleasant, with tree-lined streets and plenty of places to go nearby, and you get good access to shopping and restaurants along US Hwy 1, so it feels like a part of the local community. The three-story building is a boutique-style senior community, where people can choose among fully furnished studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and those who need extra support can also live in memory care studio or companion units, which makes it helpful for couples or friends who want to be close but need different levels of care. People living here can pick independent living, assisted living, memory care, or respite care services, and there's enhanced assisted living too, so the care matches what each person needs, with support like bathing, dressing, walking escorts, toileting, or help with medicine, and nurses are around overnight, so you can feel safe.
The Residence at Westport is run by LCB Senior Living, and they have a style that values hospitality and attention, so the staff gets trained to be friendly and helpful and keep a family feel, and folks here talk about the place feeling happy and welcoming, which is something you notice in the shared spaces like the common room, private dining rooms, and the pub where people gather for meals and events, and the community space is designed to make it easy to get around for people who need more help. There are programs like the S.H.I.E.L.D. program for wellness, and associates certified by the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE), so residents with Alzheimer's or dementia get knowledgeable care and attention, and the floor plans for memory care focus on safety and comfort. The services and activities offer chances to keep busy, make friends, and socialize, whether it's recreation, entertainment, or outings using their transportation services for errands or appointments.
When it comes to meals, the community serves Everyday Gourmet dining, so meals are varied, nutritious, and use good ingredients, and there's an emphasis on flavors that remind people of home, with options to eat in private dining rooms if there's company or special occasions. The Residence at Westport also provides help with housekeeping, laundry, and medication management, as well as transfers and advanced needs, coordinating with other care partners when needed, and the apartments come with features like Wi-Fi, handicap accessibility, and pet-friendly options. The community supports all kinds of needs, from folks who want more independent living to those looking for continuing care in one place, with services and amenities focused on comfort and well-being, and people can try a temporary stay with respite care if they want to experience the community before making a longer move or if their family just needs a short-term option. The Residence at Westport keeps a small-town spirit, encourages social activity, and pays close attention to both care and comfort, setting itself apart with personalized care plans, Concierge services, unique programs, and a real focus on letting residents keep freedom and choice as they age.
