Westminster Manor

Westminster Manor sits at 40 Windham Ave SE in Fort Walton Beach, close to downtown, and has a park-like setting with two main buildings where older adults, ages 62 and up, can live in affordable one-bedroom apartments, some designed for people with mobility issues, and you'll find the floors have wall-to-wall carpet and full kitchens, and the whole place is smoke-free and subsidized for low-income seniors who want independence but may also need some support. The community has a crafts room, an exercise space, a computer lab, a beauty and barber shop, a country store, a library, and even a thrift shop for residents, and you'll also notice a senior citizen center, a church-based focus, and special programs for those with special needs, so it has a bit of everything. Westminster Manor offers independent living with a range of social activities and resort-style features, but if residents need more help, there are assisted living services such as help with daily tasks, medication, meals, and personal care, and there's also skilled nursing with 24-hour care, rehab, wound care and nursing support, along with hospice care and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, in safe settings with specialized activities and programs to help memory. Caregivers who need a break can use respite care, and there's respite support, adult day services, long-term skilled nursing, memory care, and home health care that's Medicare-certified, plus non-medical home care for people who want to stay independent. Westminster Manor offers information and resources for seniors on everything from aging, disaster recovery, and affordable housing to dementia, and it keeps a directory of senior services, mentoring programs, sponsorship opportunities, and special events through the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Directors, and Chamber Ambassadors. You'll find features like online invoices, business directories, sponsored resources, a map of the location, community and member events, a privacy-focused website, and special programs and deals for seniors, and there's a membership system and online tools, along with exercise and craft areas, so people can stay active and social, plus church involvement for those who want it. Westminster Manor is known for being an affordable rental retirement community with honest options for various care needs and a strong focus on people who need support as they age.
