The Wyndmoor of Portage offers Assisted Living and Independent Living with the option for short-term respite stays. Residents have access to on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as a structured mental-wellness program coordinated with attending physicians. A registered nurse is available 12–16 hours per day to oversee medication management, wound care, diabetic monitoring, and ambulatory support. Hospice services can be coordinated when needed, ensuring continuity of care without relocation.
Care delivery is reinforced by 24-hour security, an emergency call system in every apartment, and a fully sprinklered, secured community that also accommodates residents with memory loss. Dedicated memory-care suites are designed for those who benefit from a specialized environment, and incontinence services are available around the clock. The community maintains an in-house pharmacy, facilitates regular visits from podiatrists and dentists, and schedules brain-fitness sessions using Dakim software. Laundry, housekeeping, and daily housekeeping checks help staff monitor changes in condition.
Accommodations range from studio apartments to ground-floor units with kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and central air conditioning; select units include washers and dryers, decks, or bathtubs. Common areas provide Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, a fireside living room, library with computer access, and multiple outdoor patios, walking paths, and landscaped courtyards. Parking is available on the surface lot, and several apartments are handicap-accessible. Pet-friendly policies are in place, but not every accommodation has every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a tour. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Dining services feature restaurant-style meals three times a day, with an all-day menu for lighter fare and healthy snacks. The culinary team accommodates low-sodium, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, no-sugar, and other physician-ordered diets, and can serve meals in residents’ rooms when necessary. A private dining room is available for family gatherings, and seasonal barbecues or picnics are scheduled when weather permits. Guest meals can be arranged with advance notice.
Residents have access to a full activity calendar that includes fitness programs, yoga, stretching classes, and Wii bowling, as well as arts and crafts sessions, educational speakers, and intergenerational events. Social outings range from local day trips to community-service projects, while on-site options include bingo, movie nights, dances, and holiday parties. Walking paths both indoors and outdoors support year-round exercise, and the whirlpool and piano rooms add to leisure choices. The community’s Live Well and health-and-wellness programs help residents stay engaged physically and socially.
