The Winslow is structured for residents who want an Independent Living setting yet may benefit from certain health-related supports. The community can accommodate individuals who use supplemental oxygen, adults under 60 who prefer an independent environment, and diabetics who need insulin injections. Although there is no dedicated dementia program, routine wellness monitoring and coordination with outside healthcare providers help residents stay on top of chronic conditions.
Daily safety and personal assistance measures back up this medical focus. Staff members have completed background checks, the building is monitored 24/7, and night-shift caregivers remain awake. Door alarms, in-room pull cords, and optional personal emergency response systems connect residents to help at any hour. An activity director is on staff, and outside clinicians visit regularly for podiatry and audiology services; a dedicated therapy room is available for prescribed exercises. Residents who need hands-on help with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting for self-care can receive it, and team members can assist with walker or wheelchair transfers.
Apartments vary, but many offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished or unfurnished layouts, individual climate controls, and cable hook-ups; residents may paint or decorate with approval. Not every unit includes every feature, so it is important to review floor plans during a tour. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled linen service are provided community-wide, and independent living residents can arrange additional laundry pick-ups as needed.
Dining is flexible. A monthly meal plan covers a set menu served in the main dining room, with on-order alternatives and vegetarian selections at each seating. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and in-room or private dining can be arranged when residents prefer more privacy or are recuperating from an illness.
The campus supports an active lifestyle with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie theater, internet access, communal gardens, library, beauty/barber shop, and organized clubs. Religious services are offered on-site, and a stair glide and concierge desk improve daily convenience. Pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Outdoor smoking areas are designated. Transportation options include scheduled shuttle rides for medical appointments and proximity to public transit.
