Westbridge Assisted Living sits in a quiet neighborhood in Wheaton, surrounded by parks and nature. The community has one-bedroom suites, each with a kitchenette, a full bath, and an emergency call system so residents can get help quickly if something happens, and you'll find staff there around the clock to help with bathing, dressing, eating, and making sure everyone stays safe and comfortable, and if someone needs memory care, there's a dedicated 12-bed unit with 24-hour nursing and secured entry for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with a plan that fits each resident. The assisted living building holds 65 private apartments, letting folks have their own space with privacy but also a community nearby, and services like housekeeping, laundry, and medication support are part of the daily help, with everything tailored to what each person needs. Every suite covers utilities except for phone service, and there's free internet, including Wi-Fi, for residents, plus they've got cable TV and maintenance included, and since a lot of folks like to relax or meet guests outside, there's a courtyard garden, a sunbathing area, and raised beds for gardening, and pets are welcome, too.
Dining is taken care of by a culinary team serving chef-inspired meals in a formal dining room, and they try to use healthy, good-quality ingredients with a menu that changes by season, though you can always expect three meals daily. Westbridge offers group and personal activities every day - social, spiritual, fitness, arts, and educational programs - and things like transportation to doctor visits or community trips, with chances to visit local golf courses, the zoo in Wheaton, museums, and Lake Michigan beaches. For those needing skilled nursing or rehabilitation, Wynscape is their neighborhood for short or long-term stays and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech, so if someone's health changes, they can stay on the same campus and get the care they could need. The staff keep watch gently and do regular well-being checks, so everyone's cared for without being intrusive, and there's help making and keeping medical appointments and working with doctors and pharmacies to get medicine sorted.
Westbridge assists with daily living tasks but likes to see residents keep their independence and help out however they can, and residents get encouraged to join in community life, make friends, and join outings or classes, but if someone wants privacy, the apartments and townhomes let them have space to themselves. Families can use the community's support resources and talk to the management team as needs change, and there's a LifeCare® program if someone's looking for a full range of care from independent living to skilled nursing, all planned out for the long term. For those who need a break or short-term help, there are private suites for respite stays and daily check-ins by nurses and activity staff, plus help from a concierge physician if needed. Residents can have visitors, enjoy the common areas indoors and out, and take part in devotional services either on-site or nearby. Westbridge strives for a warm, welcoming environment without being fancy or pushy, and anyone interested can set up a tour, meet staff and residents, and see what life there's like before making a decision.
