Westshire Village at the Lake sits in Westport, WI, in Dane County, pretty near to neighborhoods like North Lake Mendota and Kennedy Heights and towns including Vienna, Dane, Maple Bluff, Middleton, De Forest, Shorewood Hills, Springfield, and Madison, and you'll see the street feels quiet and the bike score is about 46 so folks can get around a little by bike, but with a walk score of 28, cars make things easier for daily errands and trips. This place serves adults 55 and older with a range of long-term care options like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, and the facility has a separate memory care part for people with Alzheimer's or other memory problems, and you'll notice trained staff who help folks through their daily needs as they change.
You'll find ranch homes, Stratford homes, Essex apartment homes, and Essex Senior Rentals, all available in different sizes and prices, and people can choose to rent or do a life lease, which means you pay to stay as long as you like, with a small maintenance fee, and the community handles all repair work. Apartments have open layouts like two bedrooms, two bathrooms, maybe a sunroom, and new appliances-refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer, and dryer come right in the unit-plus there are things like California closets, ceiling fans, pull-out kitchen shelves, Merrilat cabinets, safety grab bars, and window coverings, so folks won't need to worry much about setting up basics. Every building has secure, locked access with intercom, an emergency call system in the bathrooms and bedrooms, and there's always management and a building nurse on hand.
You'll see the facilities are built for aging in place, with wheelchair access, senior-friendly bathrooms, and a heated underground garage for easy parking, and pets are welcome. There are both private and public bans on indoor smoking. Residents can get complimentary van rides around town, and the staff organizes all kinds of activities-social, educational, and recreational-including a monthly newsletter with a calendar of events. The community offers indoor and outdoor common areas, a clubhouse, a library, computer and puzzle rooms, fireplace lounge, ping pong, pool, shuffleboard, a massage therapy room, and even a full-service beauty and barber shop, so there's always somewhere to go or something to do if you want to mingle with friends or just spend a quiet afternoon.
For those who need more help, there's flexible assisted living, memory care delivered in a dedicated area, and skilled nursing services, with care plans tailored for changing needs. Residents can choose to buy upgrades beyond the standard housing, and all maintenance, including yearly exterior window washing and lawn care, happens without much fuss from the homeowners. The Westshire community tries to keep things simple and comfortable, especially for couples downsizing or single folks who like to travel or prefer a peer environment, and the peaceful, well-kept surroundings make things easy for empty nesters who don't want the worries of everyday home maintenance. With parking, storage, and safety built in, plus activities and support, living here lets seniors focus on enjoying the years ahead, without having to work too hard at it.
