Westminster

Westminster offers a Life Plan Community where seniors aged 55 and older can find different living choices depending on what they need, so some folks choose independent living in private studio, one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments with comfortable bedrooms, walk-in closets, full kitchens, and options for balconies or patios, while others want assisted living to get help with daily routines or memory care for dementia, and there's also skilled nursing, short-term rehab, and hospice if someone's health changes over time, and all these services happen on the same campus, which makes moving from one kind of care to another easier when it's needed. Residents find modern apartments with touches like stainless steel appliances, granite counters, window treatments, walk-in closets, and individually controlled heating and air, and all the buildings and rooms are set up for wheelchair access with ramps, wide hallways, and roll-in showers or tubs. Westminster includes group transportation to outings or appointments, weekly housekeeping, and concierge service, plus there's high-speed Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, emergency call buttons in every bedroom and bathroom, and utilities are covered except for phone, so you worry less about the monthly bills. The grounds have landscaped outdoor spaces, inviting paths, and plenty of places to gather, including a main lounge, fireplaces, a billiards and game room, a theater for movie nights, a 250-seat hall for dances or other big events, and there's also a chapel, library, private dining room for parties, a barbershop, and several meeting rooms with AV setups. Meals come from restaurant-style dining with anytime options where you'll find chef-designed menus that can be vegetarian, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, or low/no sodium, and residents with special diets like no sugar or organic can order those too, plus there's a dedicated program called Extraordinary Impressions™ that tries to learn what each person likes or needs and adapts care or services to match their tastes. The Life Care program means you pay a set monthly fee that won't jump up if you need more care, and it lets you stay for life even if your needs become more serious, gives priority access to on-site healthcare, and lets you get a 90% refund on your entry payment if you decide to move out in the first year. There's a focus on hospitality where staff try to act with respect, genuine care, and a bit of anticipation for what residents want or might need, which shows up in numerous organized clubs, lectures, classes, trips, and events, and there's always something going on to bring people together. Health support includes 24-hour nursing on campus, medication management, help for people who don't walk, incontinence care, diabetic care, high acuity memory services, and rehab, plus there's a health center with on-site care whenever it's needed, and options for home health and day care services if you prefer extra assistance at your apartment. Guest quarters make it easy to have family stay over, there's a pool and jacuzzi, salon for hair care, and units with garden views or ground floor access if that's important. Westminster keeps things simple and tries to help people stay as independent as possible while still giving options for more support if life changes, and there's always a way to be social, stay active, or just relax in comfort.
