Fairwinds - Woodward Park sits up in the north area of Fresno, California, near shopping, restaurants, medical centers, and close to the scenic San Joaquin River so people get a pretty calm, semi-rural setting with palm trees, lush landscaping, walking paths, an enclosed courtyard, and water features like a decorated fountain out front which makes the place feel relaxed and bright, especially with a big covered entryway and a front porch where folks can sit outside. The community runs on a month-to-month rental system, so people can stay flexible, and offers a wide range of living and care choices, from independent living and assisted living to memory care, skilled nursing, nursing and rehab, and even home health and care, so residents can stay as their needs change without moving far, and this continuum of care means the place can help whether someone is healthy and independent or needs more medical help and support.
Inside, Fairwinds - Woodward Park has many spots with their own names, like the Rendezvous Bistro for specialty coffee, smoothies, wine, or beer, a dining room with nice, high clerestory windows for sunlight, small private dining rooms that residents can use for family dinners, a Beauty Boutique for salon visits, a fitness room and a gym, a strong exercise room, a billiards and game room, a theater for watching movies or shows, and a cozy common area set up for comfortable sitting where people can talk, play piano, or spend relaxed time. There's also a library, computer room with internet access, guest suites, activity rooms, and an inviting swimming pool and spa outside that are heated for year-round use, plus a garden, outdoor seating, and an easy shuttle and transportation service that takes folks to doctors, grocery stores, or local spots, with parking for residents and guests. The community café serves lattes and simple snacks, and the in-house Executive Chef prepares meals with changing seasonal choices in restaurant-style dining, so people don't have to worry about cooking, and weekly housekeeping means units stay neat, with washers and dryers in two-bedroom homes and full kitchens, walk-in showers, thermostats, and emergency call buttons in the apartments.
Care is available at all levels, with a concierge desk ready to help book tickets or appointments, set up transport, or even help walk pets for those who need it, and there's always a team of dedicated associates supporting the residents' daily lives, offering help with bathing, dressing, medication, and reminders, with a nurse on staff part-time for health needs. The massage therapy room has art and comfy seating, and the salon offers haircuts and dryers for those wanting a simple grooming visit. The facility runs plenty of five-star activities every week, lots of lifelong learning opportunities like computer classes, music, outings, cultural or horticultural activities, games, and wellness programs such as Tai Chi, yoga, and stretching, so people have choices about how active or social they want to be. Memory care units are present for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the property is fully accessible for wheelchair users, including those who can pull themselves to a stand, and there's emergency help if needed.
Fairwinds - Woodward Park uses a hospitality-based care approach where each person gets customized assistance based on changing needs, and there's a strong focus on offering a social, inviting environment, with options for family meals, pet-friendly policies for small dogs but not cats, and a safe space inside and out. The community has private mailboxes, complimentary Wi-Fi in common areas, cable and satellite TV, and in-unit kitchen appliances, and people can take in movies in the theater or relax by the fireplace on cool nights. Leisure Care, an experienced management company with over thirty years in senior living, oversees the community for reliable services and keeps the program options updated, including special extras like Twist Travel for resident outings and events.
