Westridge Forest sits at 1301 Westminster Drive in Greensboro, North Carolina, right near well-known spots like Union Cross Park, Springwood Park, and Salem Lake Trail, and the place is surrounded by a bunch of cafes, pharmacies, doctors, churches, theaters, restaurants, and hospitals, so folks living there can get to almost everything they need without much trouble, which people seem to appreciate as they get older and don't want to drive too far or deal with parking lots. The community itself keeps things comfortable and quiet, only taking up to six residents at a time, with services made for active adults aged 55 and older, and the staff there helps folks with daily needs like getting dressed, keeping up with medication schedules, preparing meals that fit specific health needs like diabetes, and making sure living spaces stay tidy. Housekeeping comes regularly, and residents get phone lines and high-speed internet in the rooms, plus cable TV and private bathrooms, which is nice since more and more folks want to stay in touch with family or relax with their own favorite shows without the hassle of sharing amenities all the time.
There's an outdoor pool called West Ridge Forest Pool nearby that draws people out on a nice day, giving them a chance to swim or just sit by the water, which can be relaxing, especially in a place with pretty surroundings. Folks eat together or alone, with menus set up for all-day or restaurant-style dining, including options for allergies and dietary restrictions, so everyone gets a plate that works for them, and folks with trouble eating certain foods aren't left out. When it comes to activities, there are scheduled daily programs, games, movie nights, and walking paths to keep everyone moving or give people a chance to socialize without a big fuss, and there are spaces like a library, arts room, business room, fitness area, and a spa or wellness room if people want to use them.
Homes in Westridge Forest and its nearby areas like Westridge Heights, Garriage Hills, Quaker Run, and Lake Jeanette, come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, with different stories, lot sizes from a quarter to more than a third of an acre, and builds from around 1985 to newer places put up after 2004, sometimes with three bedrooms, three full baths, garages, patios, washers and dryers, central air, and a total living space starting around 2,178 square feet and moving up for new listings. Most of the real estate services are managed by FirstKey Homes, LLC, so you'd see their name on applications, hold fees, and rules about payment methods, and there are pet policies (with deposits and monthly rent for animals), and things like homeownership calculators, mortgage services, rent, and buying options for all kinds of homes from single family houses and condos to townhomes and manufactured places.
For peace of mind, the facility runs a 24-hour call system and managers are the in-house kind, not third-party, which seems to make families feel better when it comes to care and security. They have both assisted living and memory care services, help for people who are only staying short term, and staff offering support for seniors who need help with medication, bathing, dressing, moving in, or just daily chores. There's also a rewards program and rules in place to avoid scams, with fees listed plainly, so things tend to stay pretty straightforward and people know what they're signing up for, and when someone's ready to visit, tours can be set up by appointment so the place stays private and residents aren't surprised by unexpected drop-ins. Overall, Westridge Forest tries to give older adults a low-maintenance, peaceful, and active place to live, with a welcoming clubhouse, spots for gatherings, plenty of amenities nearby, and enough help for those who want comfort and a bit of independence close to everything Greensboro has to offer.
