Saint Therese of Westlake

Saint Therese of Westlake is a senior living community offering many care levels including independent and assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, hospice, and home health services, and the place has a reputation for good care, even making the list of America's Best Nursing Homes from U.S. News & World Report, which is nice to know if someone's looking for something established. The community sits in a wooded area and has a Tudor-style building, giving it a quiet, home-like feel that's not too big or overwhelming, and residents can choose from studio or one-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, washer and dryer, air conditioning, and plenty of space and natural light. They take care of meals and snacks three times a day, offer special diets, and make sure everyone's needs get met, whether someone needs help with bathing, dressing, medication, memory care, or skilled nursing, and there are aides and nursing staff on hand at all hours, with doctors making regular visits. The grounds are secured for memory care, and there's housekeeping, laundry, linen, and trash removal to keep things tidy, plus a gym, spa area, outdoor patios, gardens, a bistro, computer area, arts and crafts, movie nights, book club, and music group, which means everyone can find something to do, and there's even an active gardening club along with lectures and educational programs, which keeps folks busy if they like to be. Residents can bring their own small pets, though everyone with a pet is responsible for its care, and visiting pets are welcome too, which gives things a cheerful and personal touch, and visitors can come for meals or overnight stays pretty flexibly. Transportation is available for appointments or outings, and the staff get trained for just about everything that comes up in senior care, including memory issues, first aid, and mobility, so safety and support are always covered with emergency alert systems and 24-hour monitoring in place. Saint Therese of Westlake is a faith-based community with more than 60 years of experience, and it offers pastoral care, onsite religious services, and regular spiritual programs for those who want it, always keeping a close relationship to its values. Payment options are broad, including private pay, VA benefits, checks, credit cards, and long-term care insurance, and pricing is generally all-inclusive, so things are pretty clear, with no surprises. Outside, you'll see well-kept landscapes, walking paths, and seating areas, and inside, there's a cozy family environment, all set up to make residents comfortable no matter their care needs, with the place working as a sister community to St. Mary's of the Woods in Avon. Therapy services like physical, occupational, and stroke rehab are available too, along with dialysis, pain management, and more advanced medical services if needed, and hospice and respite care help families when support's most needed. Saint Therese of Westlake holds a state license and maintains high standards for care, keeping residents safe, engaged, and as independent as possible as needs change.
