Make Yourself At Home

Beautiful.  Affordable.  Wooded lot.  Safe neighborhood.  Garage parking.  Plenty of space.  Friendly neighbors.  Many of the things you looked for in a family home years ago are still important features to consider when apartment hunting later in life.

Westwood is a perfect fit for seniors looking for an easy transition to retirement living.  From the picturesque setting and spacious floor plans to the time-honored Benedictiine tradition of quality, it's no surprise that residents feel right at home from the day they move in.

 

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Most seniors thrive as a result of the independence that comes with apartment living.  No more snow shoveling, lawn mowing, leaky roof or faucet repairs.  They appreciate being able to just "turn the key" and head off to their next adventure.  Others who have health or mobility problems and need help with daily activities, grow to appreciate the sense of companionship here, the feeling of family fostered within this Benedictine community.
 

Nurses Next Door

Should the unexpected happen - a fall or major medical setback - Westwood residents have priority access to more comprehensive levels of care in the Benedctine Health Center, including rehabilitation services and 24-hour skilled nursing care.  This seamless continuum of care allows individuals to secure additional, necessary services in a familiar setting just down the hall or on another floor, all the while maintaining the precious relationships established here.
 

Adding Life to Years

A Place to Live, Learn, Laugh & Love. Life at Westwood is rich in opportunities for social, spiritual, educational and cultural fulfillment. As part of the Benedictine Health Center, Westwood is connected to an extraordinary community of care through which tremendous relationships are built - both across campus and across generations. Children in the Benedictine Preschool enjoy regular visits with "grandpals" in Westwood.

A spouse, siblings, even former neighbors may move into the adjacent Long Term Care Center or participate in the Adult Day Services program on its main floor.

Residents also have access to a variety of courses, concerts and theater performances on campus at the College of St. Scholastica. There are a number of places to volunteer one's time and talents including the care centers, chapel, preschool and gift shop.

Named for an English Benedictine Abbey, Westwood provides all of the amenities that add quality of life to one's later years. Residents can walk paths that crisscross the wooded landscape, enjoy spectacular views of Lake Superior, spend quiet time by a stream or in a library, plant and tend gardens, attend chapel services, or dine privately with friends. There always is something to do, some place to go or some time just to be...quiet.
