West Winds Assisted Living Facility in Zephyrhills, Florida

West Winds is a family owned and operated Assisted Living Facility. We consider our residents an extension of our family, and take care for them with the utmost respect and dignity. With our highly trained staff, state of the art facility, and central location, it is easy to see why our residents are proud to call this “Home”. Celebrating life at West Winds means each resident's privacy and individualism is respected and their independence, hobbies and interests are encouraged.

Our goal in an Assisted Living Facility is to help la person live as independently as possible, while providing assistance with things they may not be able to do on their own anymore. For example, we have residents that request their bed to be made everyone morning, we have other residents that LOVE to make their own bed, and don’t want any help to do it. We have residents that still own and drive cars, but those same residents may need reminded of when or how to properly take their medication. We are here to hopefully keep a person from ending up in a nursing home, or a hospital. Our home is not the typical assisted living facility, and a far step away from a nursing home. Both the inside and outside of our facility looks like a condo, or apartment building, a family member recently told me it reminded her of a fancy hotel on the beach….. Each room comes with a spacious bathroom, and a kitchenette complete with a refrigerator, freezer, and microwave. The residents can come and go as they please, just like in their own home. We have residents that travel to visit relatives, go on cruises, and go out to eat at local restaurants. For those residents that no longer drive, we offer monthly outings for shopping and restaurants, as well as driving to doctors appointments on Tuesday and Thursdays.

Services and amenities include, but are not limited to:

Comfort:
We pride ourselves with helping our residents continue the celebration of life. We are not here to remove the individual’s right to make choices, care for themselves, or live independently. We are simply here to help an individually live as safely and comfortably as possible, and provide assistance when needed, either in part or in full.

Homelike:
West Winds is proud to break the “medical model”. Upon visiting our facility, you will see this is a home, not and institution! Our professionally decorated interior features a roaring fireplace, a stunning library, a 24 hour Café, wall to wall carpeting, extra wide hall ways and doorways, and lush gardens and pathways.

Apartments:
All rooms overlook beautifully landscaped areas and mature trees. The rooms are canvases ready for your personal touch! We promote individually of our residents by giving you the option of decorating your living space in whatever way makes you feel the most comfortable. By guaranteeing our residents the right to have their own furniture, and hang pictures, and furnish the room to their own needs, West Winds becomes an extension of their home, not a replacement.

Dining:
In-house chefs ensure residents enjoy delicious and balanced meals daily. Special diets such as low salt, sugar free, and vegetarian are accommodated at no extra charge. Our glamorous dining room with chandeliers, and a wine rack seats all of our residents, so everyone can eat together, “family” style, rather than in shifts, like many smaller facilities must do. We also feature a private dining room, so that special meals with your family can be held in private. Our residents can have their friends or family join them from breakfast, lunch or dinner for a small fee, if 24 hour notice is given.
