New Perspective Westlake Woods is licensed for assisted living and can accommodate both long-term residents and people who need a short respite stay. Clinical oversight includes an RN or LPN on site around the clock, an additional nurse on call 24/7, and regular physician visits. Residents who manage diabetes receive monitoring and medication support, and a speech therapist is available for communication or swallowing issues. The community can coordinate high-acuity care, hospice services, incontinence management, ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, and medication management. While memory-care therapies are offered, the residence does not identify as a dedicated dementia community.
Daily living help is delivered at whatever level a resident requires. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can perform standby or one-person transfers as needed. An activity director organizes therapeutic programs such as brain-fitness sessions, pet-focused activities, and tailored exercise plans that draw on the skills of onsite occupational and physical therapists. A massage therapist, podiatrist, optometrist, and other rehab professionals make regular rounds, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Private and semi-private suites are available with different combinations of cable service, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Because layouts vary, not every unit includes every service, so prospective residents should verify the exact features in the apartment they are considering.
Dining is prepared under the direction of a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining hours. Menus accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, organic, and pureed meal plans, and international dishes and seasonal BBQs or picnics appear regularly. Guests can join residents for meals, and a private dining room is available for family events or special programs.
Residents have access to an exercise room, a wellness center, internet throughout the property, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for errands or 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.
