WyndStone

WyndStone sits in the Billings Heights area and gives folks many choices for how and where they'd like to live, whether that's independent apartments, supportive living, memory care in Novak Cottage, or living in MeadowLark Landing where there's both assisted and independent care for different needs, kind of nestled into this three-story place with a lot of natural light and pretty modern kitchens, and if you like gardens there are raised beds so you can work in the dirt or you can go for a stroll along landscaped walking paths and take in the fresh air, or you might pop into the workshop for a project or spend time in the craft and art spaces. There are 51 independent apartments, different floor plans, 1 and 2 bedroom options, private baths, washers, dryers, and some even have patios or views of the area, and if someone's in need of memory care, there are 16 studio and one-bedroom apartments in Novak Cottage which gives a homelike setting with special support and frequent reminders or help if needed. Folks don't have to worry about housework because weekly housekeeping and laundry service are included, and maintenance and utilities come with it, too, so you don't have to fuss about repairs or bills, and for safety there's a 24-hour call system and the grounds are fenced and secure all around. Everybody gets three meals a day, served restaurant-style with a variety of foods, including options for special diets like pureed meals, and there's always help on hand with medications, bathing, dressing, and reminders, and you'll find personalized care plans for diabetic support or dealing with incontinence issues, since staff are on call and the place always has someone there in case of an emergency or just for regular daily help. There's a full fitness center and a warm water pool where you can swim or do stretches, plus a hot tub, a massage service, beauty salon, library with computers, an activities room for games and movies, and wellness programs running right there onsite, and you'll see transportation services, whether that means taking scheduled trips or using garage parking if you drive, as well as storage for all the stuff you bring along. WyndStone serves as a Life Plan Community, which means people can stay as their needs change, since nursing care, rehabilitation, and even at-home care link into everything here, and folks get priority for care over at the West End campus if they should need extra rehab or skilled nursing after a hospital stay, so there's some peace of mind knowing you don't have to worry about your next step no matter how things go health-wise. The place stretches out on a scenic campus, so there's plenty of room for walking, gardening, or just sitting with neighbors; it's all part of St. John's Lutheran Ministries, which brings services like general counseling, therapy, help with mobility equipment, spiritual care, child and youth services, and even connects to a greenhouse, Luther's Lodge, and different support groups, so there's always someone or something to connect with. Staff are around 24/7, and front desk folks are there through the week, a bit less on weekends, but someone's always onsite, and if you look at SkyRidge Cottages nearby, you'll find even more assisted living and memory care choices of different sizes and setups. The focus stays on keeping people's lives active, safe, and connected, with supervised care, options for outings, activities for both mind and body, and flexible help whether you're living more independently or needing closer support.
