Windsor Estates of St. Charles uses a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model, which lets residents move between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing if their needs change, and you'll find the place's been around since 1977 as a nonprofit with a Christian-based focus, and there's all sorts of living choices with active adult apartments for those 55 and up featuring a bunch of different floor plans, and the independent section keeps things pretty stress-free because utilities except phone are covered, maintenance teams come by, and weekly housekeeping is provided, and there's free laundry rooms too. You'll have daily continental breakfast and 15 meals included every month, plus you can add more with a meal plan if you want, and a Dietary Director along with a Registered Dietitian work to make sure meals suit dietary needs and preferences, with nutritious and tasty options offered every day, plus alternative dishes in case the regular menu doesn't appeal, and if someone's a veteran there's a discount for that as well.
Residents here can ride the transportation service for errands, doctor appointments, and group trips to theaters, grocery stores, or local outings like wineries, and the staff put together activities ranging from arts and crafts, games, cooking classes, and music, to chapel services, gardening, and fitness classes in The Club, so there's usually always something on the calendar, whether it's monthly painting parties, a birthday party for everyone born that month, Lunch & Learn sessions, happy hours, or holiday events, and there's even a therapy puppy named Winnie on site.
The activity team makes daily schedules, and for those wanting a quiet day, there's audiobooks, library services, cable TV, Senior TV, and Wi-Fi, and for errands like haircuts or a quick trim, you'll find a beauty and barber shop as well. Each apartment's set up with an emergency cord system, and the building's accessible for those who need it, and pets that fit the rules are allowed.
When someone needs more help, the Assisted Living and Memory Care areas offer support with bathing, dressing, medication, incontinence help, and chronic disease management, with trained staff around 24 hours a day. The community works with people living with Alzheimer's or similar issues, and designs memory care neighborhoods to help prevent confusion and wandering. Skilled nursing is on campus for high-acuity care and complex needs, while therapy services can include physical, occupational, and speech therapy when needed. Everyone can get help with medication management, and the building suits those who aren't able to walk or who have diabetes.
Windsor Estates of St. Charles is managed by Tutera and has options for paying online, offers management resources and guides, and provides a range of services and amenities meant for seniors' comfort and convenience, though the staff focus on keeping folks safe, comfortable, and as busy as they'd like to be, and you'll find the community right in St. Charles, Missouri.
