Windward Palms sits in Palm Beach County and serves areas like Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Lantana, and Jupiter, and operates under Grace Management, which has decades of experience in senior communities, and at Windward Palms, seniors find both an Independent Living community and an option for short-term or respite stays, and the community supports aging gracefully through the Living Gracefully philosophy, which encourages a healthy, engaged lifestyle. People here have access to room sizes ranging from 401 to 949 square feet, with choices between studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units that include water views in some cases, and the building stands three stories high, with indoor hallways and both indoor and outdoor common areas. Pets can live with residents, though they don't allow any smoking inside, not in private spaces or public areas, and the policy requires residents to be of a minimum age, to keep an active community feeling. Some rooms offer features like comfortable beds, ceiling fans, dressers, and window blinds, and other living spaces have lots of natural light, with cozy couches and areas for dining or relaxing. People spend time outside on the covered patio areas, under the walkway, or in the rocking chairs, and the landscaping includes lush greenery around the entrance, with stone accents and comfortable outdoor seating.
The onsite amenities include a fitness center for regular exercise, a billiards lounge and game room with pool and card tables, a TV, and comfortable seating for socializing, plus a theater room with blue armchairs and movie posters, and a library with bookshelves, soft lighting, and soothing decor. Residents gather for three daily meals in a large dining room with chandeliers and a second-floor balcony, and there's also a private dining room available for groups, with placemats, artwork, and a decorative mirror. Graceful Dining™ is part of service here. The kitchen staff prepares the meals, and restaurant-style service is available. The schedule is busy with art classes, bingo, horse racing games, group devotionals, and movie nights, all part of the Vibrant Living Program, which gives people plenty to do each week. The community supports health and wellness with regular transportation, a hair salon and barber shop onsite, opportunities for devotional services both on and off the grounds, and a pool area outside with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a nearby hot tub, although the pool isn't heated. People also can use the laundry room onsite, though it can get crowded and the dryers sometimes need fixing, especially on busy weekends. Resident parking is available, and accommodations for wheelchairs are in place, including accessible showers.
If someone needs help, the staff support assisted living and memory care, with programs for people living with Alzheimer's or other dementia-related challenges, and skilled care is offered for those who need it, plus adult day care and home care are available. The community provides progressive care, so residents who move in while healthy can stay as their needs change, thanks to continuing care retirement options, but still, nurses aren't onsite full-time for every person, so it's not a nursing home. Help is available 24/7, with staff present for routine check-ins and personalized assistance as needed for everyday tasks. Windward Palms also accepts both men and women, with options for women-only residency if requested, and the staff are known for being friendly and maintaining a welcoming, communal atmosphere. Special amenities like veteran benefits are possible here, offering additional support for those who've served.
The Windward Palms community provides a place for seniors wanting vibrant activities, help if needed, and the chance to stay independent for as long as possible, and the grounds and building are designed for comfort and ease, so residents can make the most of their time there whether they're living there full time or just staying for a short respite.
