It’s no secret that independent living communities provide a wealth of convenient services and amenities that make life easier and more fulfilling. In fact, at Westminster we like to say it’s like living year-round at a resort.

Because senior living communities offer so many benefits, we’re giving you just a glimpse of what you can expect when you move into your new home. Take a look at all the ways this lifestyle offers something for everyone — providing all the comforts of home with none of the work, and ensuring that you never run out of things to do.

Abundant amenities

  • Delicious on-site dining. Even with your on-the-go lifestyle, you’ll never have to miss a meal. At Westminster, we offer our residents a wide array of options — from private dining with your friends and family, to restaurant-style dining featuring chef-prepared cuisine in The Laurel, to casual dining in The Bistro and happy hours in our cocktail bar.
  • Fully equipped kitchens. Love to cook? Westminster has you covered here too, with contemporary spacious kitchens that make it easy to whip up meals to your heart’s content.
  • Balconies, patios and courtyards. Getting outside is always good for your health. You’ll find plenty of inviting outdoor spaces at Westminster, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
  • State-of-the-art fitness facilities. You’ll stay active and thriving with amenities like an on-site gym and pool. Westminster residents enjoy a fully equipped fitness center, an aquatic center with an indoor saline pool and spa, yoga and Tai Chi studios, beautiful nearby walking trails and more.
  • Health and wellness programs. Staying informed and healthy couldn’t be more important. At Westminster, you’ll have access to enlightening wellness seminars, as well as health screenings and nutritional counseling.
  • A plethora of planned activities. There’s no denying that a vibrant social life is essential for overall well-being. Our community offers you a full calendar of social events and activities — dance classes, game nights, barbeques, holiday parties, book clubs, poetry groups, cultural event outings and shopping trips … just to name a few.

A wide selection of services

  • Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance services. No more worrying about daily chores, to-do lists and home upkeep. Now you can focus on enjoying yourself to the fullest during retirement, knowing that your lawn care, home repairs and cleaning needs can be done by others.
  • Transportation services. Forget about the stress of driving. Transportation services at Westminster make it easier for our residents to go to their medical appointments, visit local museums and farmers markets, attend plays or sporting events and more.
  • Health services. Our residents are often able to get the care they need without leaving our community, thanks to convenient on-site services that include wellness programs, mental health support and access to nursing staff. And because we’re a Life Plan Community that offers various continuum of care levels, we also provide assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing options to meet changing needs.
  • Spiritual services. Religious or spiritual services and devotional activities are also available at our community, including worship in our multidenominational chapel, gospel musical performances, and vespers.

It’s about making every day easier and more enjoyable, doing what you want and living life how you’d like — and letting your independent living team do the rest. And it’s all yours for the taking at Westminster.
