Windermere at Cartmell sits in Palestine, Texas, offering senior living in a large community with space for up to 56 residents plus a 16-bed area for Alzheimer's care, and the place has been around since 1953, so there's a steady feel to everything. The community gives people choices for living: studios and one-bedrooms start at around $4,000 a month, and the rooms come with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, cable, air-conditioning, and full furnishings, which feels comfortable for a lot of folks who move in. Residents can pick private suites or shared rooms, and the staff's always nearby for help-day or night.
There's independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, nursing home services, memory care, and home care on one campus, so people can stay as needs change, and care plans can be adjusted for everyone. The staff helps with things like bathing, meals, medication, and mobility, and the facility is known for activities, friendly staff, and good overall care, since it's won awards in those areas, and there's a solid review average of 8.0 from families and residents who've left feedback. People eat nutritious meals planned by chefs, with organic ingredients, and staff handle the cleaning and laundry so nobody has to worry about chores anymore, which might be a relief for many.
The property has gardens, walking paths, a small fitness room, a spa, and even a cozy library and a game room, so days can be pretty full or relaxed depending on what folks want to do, and events like movie nights, music programs, religious services, and outings to stores or doctors happen pretty often. Memory care residents are in a secure part of the building, with extra staff on hand for safety, and everyone gets a 24-hour emergency call system for peace of mind. For those who need help getting places, transportation to medical visits or community events is available, and there are also accommodations for visitors and event spaces. Windermere at Cartmell works with local healthcare and offers diabetic care, incontinence management, and other support for people with greater medical needs, so most anyone can find the right care. The community welcomes everyone and follows Fair Housing guidelines.
