Windcrest East, built in 2005, stands as a gated senior living community designed for those aged 55 and older who enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle and want to stay active, where residents can walk by nearby vineyards and farm stands, and go shopping at places like Home Depot or Tangier Mall, and don't have to worry about the basic chores because the homeowners association takes care of the lawn and snow removal, which is especially helpful as folks get older, and being close to medical care brings peace of mind since hospitals and doctors like Dr. Oali's office are less than a mile away, so you know help's nearby if you need it. The single-family homes here come in sizes from about 1,520 to 2,200 square feet, offering two, three, or four bedrooms and two or three bathrooms, with every home including a two-car attached garage for easy parking and extra storage, and inside, you'll find granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, private patios, eat-in kitchens with a central island, and large living areas on the first floor, making it nice for gathering family or hosting friends. These homes use natural gas for heated forced air and have central air conditioning for comfort all year, and you can step out onto a big paver patio with a remote retractable awning-so even in the sun or rain, you can eat outside or spend time with neighbors. Windcrest East isn't new construction, but the place keeps a warm and inviting feel, with homes set against backyard panoramic natural views and a large side yard that works well for outdoor games or little get-togethers, while around the community, you have a clubhouse that's the social center and has a multipurpose room, a fitness area, a sparkling pool and sun patio, tennis and shuffleboard courts, and walking trails winding around a pond, which are just right for light strolls or quiet reflection. There are regular movie nights, community-sponsored activities, and engaging programs that help people stay connected, and the atmosphere here tends to be friendly without feeling overwhelming, since the community's big enough to meet new friends but still feels manageable, with only 126 homes, many run by resident owners who arrange social gatherings themselves.
For different needs, Windcrest East covers several types of care; active adults can live independently with optional support services, but if more help becomes necessary, the community provides professional staff to assist with daily living activities, such as help dressing, medication management, and meals, with support scaled to what's needed, and memory care's offered in a secure setting for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, with programs made just for them, personalized care, memory-enhancing activities, and 24-hour staff, so families can feel a bit easier knowing loved ones have supervision and the right care. The skilled nursing services offer round-the-clock care, comprehensive nursing, rehabilitation, and wound care, and there's respite care if a short stay is needed. Inside the homes and shared buildings, features like private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and even telephones are standard, with some furnished rooms available. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, concierge support, and even family support make the change to community living less stressful, while daily fitness programs, library visits, outdoor spaces, spas, and wellness rooms give residents ways to stay active or relax however they see fit. The community's within a diverse neighborhood, so places like Starbucks, Panera Bread, Walgreens, and highway access are close, making errands or visits with family easier. Windcrest East offers tours for new residents who want to see for themselves and get a real sense of the welcoming environment, and above all, it aims to give older adults a safe, comfortable, and engaging place to live with just enough support for whatever stage of independence or care's needed.
