    Summary of reviews

    Westridge is primarily described as a senior apartment and independent-living community rather than a setting providing extensive clinical care. Residents and families commonly characterize the staff as kind, accommodating, and responsive, and describe the community as friendly and supportive. Families value communication with staff, including updates when a resident may need attention. A few comments point to opportunities to improve move-in orientation, coordination, maintenance follow-through, and communication about billing or other administrative matters.

    Dining is a prominent feature, with many residents praising the food, dining room, and coffee service. The meal arrangements are less flexible for some residents: reviews describe required meal-plan participation or a monthly minimum, and some reviewers would prefer the option to opt out. Food satisfaction is not uniform, and the dining program may not suit particular preferences or special dietary needs. One review also describes dining services as having been reduced over time, so prospective residents may wish to confirm current meal availability and terms.

    The activity program is described as broad, with outings, shopping trips, exercise, lectures, music, arts and crafts, worship, and social events. Some residents appreciate the range of options, while others find the activities insufficiently varied or do not participate. A review also raises concerns about reduced transportation and activity offerings. The community provides shared spaces such as a library, chapel, dining area, and parlors, though one resident wanted additional shared internet and movie-viewing space.

    Residents and visitors frequently praise the building’s cleanliness, bright appearance, apartment layouts, and welcoming common areas. Reported amenities include patios or decks, walking paths, pet-friendly policies, and heated or underground parking. Practical limitations include laundry rooms outside the apartments, step-in tubs that may not work for everyone, and reported constraints around available floor plans, lease terms, and apartment size relative to cost. Location is convenient for many residents, though it is not the right fit for everyone. Overall, feedback is largely positive about the community atmosphere and staff, with prospective residents most likely to benefit from checking current service availability, meal requirements, accessibility features, and unit options against their individual needs.

    About Westridge Retirement Community

    Westridge Retirement Community sits on Fairfield Road in Minnetonka, MN, near major roads like Hopkins Crossroad and Interstate 394, and offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, and short-term respite care for seniors, all tucked together under one roof, which means people can move between different types of care as their needs change, and the place has its own unique names for areas like The Terraces Assisted Living and The Terraces of St. (name truncated). The community has different housing options, from maintenance-free independent living apartments for active seniors wanting no yard work, to assisted living suites for those needing help with things like bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication management, and personal care, and there are also secure memory care suites made for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, where staff provide 24-hour support and lead specialized programs and memory-enhancing activities. There's skilled nursing and long-term care suites for seniors who need more hands-on care, whether it's after surgery, during an illness, or for longer periods, so there's medical help around the clock if needed, and they've got board and care homes too, which are smaller shared homes in neighborhoods with live-in caregivers for more personal daily assistance. The community feels warm, and there's a focus on both comfort and practical needs, offering several amenities such as a restaurant with good food, a fitness center, woodshop, private movie theater, heated swimming pool, art space, library, business office, storage lockers, car wash bay, garage parking, and a general store, plus accessible features like secure parking, elevators, and ramps so it's easier for everyone to get around. Maintenance and housekeeping are provided, guest suites are available for visiting family, and guest dining means friends aren't left out, while wellness and fitness programs, instructor-led exercise classes, and various social activities happen daily, ranging from art and crafting classes, card games, puzzles, and outings to cultural spots like the Guthrie Theater and the Walker Art Museum. The place has a strong faith-based mission, being part of Presbyterian Homes & Services, which means there's spiritual care, daily worship services, and campus pastors who people can talk to when they need support, while wellness and life enrichment take up a big part of daily life, with meals at home and home health care also available for those who need some help but want to stay in their own space. Folks living here often say the community feels friendly, the staff are helpful and respond quickly, and the building stays clean and comfortable, with recent reviews giving Westridge Retirement Community a solid rating of about 4.4, which seems to reflect care, staff, food, and value, and all this is offered at 11201 Fairfield Rd unit 425 in Minnetonka where seniors can stay active or relax as they choose, with services to help no matter what kind of retirement living they're after.
