Westminster Village in West Lafayette delivers three levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain in the same community as their needs change. The team is equipped to handle challenging medical profiles, including residents who wander day or night, are at risk for elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, require wound care or oxygen, need special diets, are under 60, or manage diabetes through oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale coverage. The Memory Care program is designed to support advanced dementia conditions with structured routines and staff trained to de-escalate behaviors and preserve safety.

Care is supported by on-site RNs/LPNs with a nurse available 24/7, background-checked staff on awake night shifts, and an activity director who adapts programs to varying abilities. Safety measures include 24-hour security, a fenced rear perimeter, alarmed doors, wander-guard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. Residents benefit from regular podiatry, audiology, dental services, and a therapy room without leaving the building; the community also accepts psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer capabilities range from walker help and standby support to two-person or Hoyer lifts for bed-bound individuals.

Apartments are designed for varying budgets and preferences, offering features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent thermostats, the option to paint or decorate, cable service, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Not every apartment includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific layouts during a tour. Independent Living residents can add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan to preserve autonomy while ensuring oversight.

Dining services provide a daily set menu plus an on-order option at each meal. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may eat in their rooms or reserve the private dining room for family events. The kitchen accommodates doctor-ordered diets and personal preferences, including gluten-free choices, mechanical-chop or puréed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian meals, and other modifications for diabetes or cardiac needs.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet connectivity, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a concierge, library, heated pool, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
