Wingate Residences on the East Side is an assisted-living community designed for older adults who want day-to-day help while remaining as independent as possible. Staff members assist with activities such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, mobility and other routine needs, allowing residents to maintain a predictable schedule in a homelike setting.
Additional clinical support is in place for residents who need more specialized attention. Short-term respite stays are accepted, giving caregivers flexibility and residents access to the same services as long-term tenants. Diabetes care, including monitoring and glucose management, is available, and an on-site speech therapist works with individuals recovering from stroke or dealing with communication or swallowing issues. The property is a secured community with controlled entry points to help protect residents who may be at risk of wandering.
Apartments and suites vary in size and layout, and not every accommodation includes every feature. Available options include kitchenettes for light meal preparation, wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable television, air conditioning and emergency response systems. Select areas of the building feature a central fireplace, a piano or organ for casual gatherings, and pet-friendly policies. Outdoor seating areas and on-site parking round out the practical conveniences.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served throughout the day, so residents can eat on their own schedule. The culinary staff offers a standard menu, vegetarian choices and seasonal specials, and will accommodate most dietary restrictions. Guest meals are available for visiting family or friends, allowing shared dining without leaving the property.
Residents can spend free time in the library and computer lounge, relax in the jacuzzi, or participate in yoga and chair-yoga classes. The community schedules birthday parties, club meetings, live-music events, fitness programs and organized social outings. An activity center supports crafts and games, while the indoor swimming pool provides year-round exercise and recreation. Outdoor areas are open to residents who want fresh air or a walk in the landscaped grounds.
