Winkler Court is licensed for assisted living and is equipped to handle both everyday and short-term care needs. Residents can access respite stays, a structured mental-wellness program, diabetes monitoring, and speech therapy without leaving the community. A 24-hour emergency call system ties each apartment to on-site staff, and every wing is protected by a sprinkler system. Routine wellness checks, stroke recovery support, and a coordinated hospice service are also available so that residents can remain in familiar surroundings even as needs change.
The clinical team includes licensed nurses, occupational and physical therapists, and a visiting podiatrist. Staff manage medications, provide incontinence support, and assist with ambulatory care. Memory care is offered in a secured courtyard area designed to reduce exit-seeking while still allowing outdoor access. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled on site, and the wellness program coordinates physician orders with daily care plans to reduce outside appointments.
Apartments are air conditioned and have cable TV hookups, Wi-Fi access, window treatments, and generous closets; some floor plans add kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, in-unit washers and dryers, or guest accommodations when available. Residents may bring small pets to qualifying units, and uncovered parking is provided for those who still drive. The building includes lounges, a library and computer center, individual indoor mailboxes, and landscaped outdoor areas, but not every accommodation includes every listed feature.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with a private dining room available for family gatherings. Menus include vegetarian choices, gluten-free selections, and options that meet low-sodium or no-sugar guidelines. Healthy snacks and guest meals are offered throughout the day to keep blood sugar stable and encourage social interaction.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts yoga, bingo, arts and crafts sessions, cooking classes, karaoke, and live music. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, a swimming pool, and gardening areas support daily movement, while Live Well programs and other health and wellness classes reinforce clinical goals. The team schedules community outings, intergenerational events, and volunteer opportunities so that residents can stay connected to Carthage and neighboring towns.
