Windsor Point is a family-owned Continuing Care Retirement Community located in the heart of Fuquay-Varina, a small town with an unusual name that offers nostalgic charm, easy living and an everybody-knows-everybody sense of community that is so hard to find these days. Our location just 20 minutes south of downtown Raleigh, however, means that Windsor Point’s residents have easy access to all the amenities of nearby cities, like Duke Hospital and the VA Hospital in Durham; the VA Hospital at Fort Bragg; the North Carolina Museums of Art, History and Natural Sciences; the Durham Bulls stadium; and the Carolina Premium Outlet stores in Smithfield are just a few places available to Windsor Point residents. Windsor Point is just a short drive to Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Durham and Chapel Hill and the numerous amenities available in these larger communities. You can then return to the somewhat slower pace of life at Windsor Point- the best of both worlds at your fingertips!
Not only does Windsor Point provide five levels of care, but our main building also houses an in-house bank, a convenience store, a pharmacy, a library, a coffee lounge, a billiards room, a hair salon, and a multi-purpose auditorium which regularly hosts local choirs and musicians as well as professional entertainers—it even doubles as a “bowling alley” on Tuesdays when we hook up the Wii and a cinema on Friday when we show recently-released movies. Our wellness center has a lap pool, spa, workout room and a sunny garden room with a terrace that serves as the perfect spot for painting classes as well as private family cook-outs. The Clinic in our Healthcare Center routinely hosts a manicurist, a masseuse and an audiologist who completes free hearing screenings and hearing aide cleanings.
Residents may choose from a variety of well-designed apartment or cottage floor plans, and our residents appreciate the fact that housekeeping chores and maintenance issues become a thing of the past—no more tubs to scrub, no more grass to mow, no more gutters to clean and no more utility bills to pay! Transportation to medical appointments is provided free of charge and 24-hour emergency assistance is available, if needed, at the touch of multiple call stations located in each apartment and cottage. Security personnel is on campus from 4 PM until 7 AM each day. Security cameras are located throughout the campus for use by security personnel.
Are you interested in reading? Join Windsor Point’s Book Club. And our twice-a-month Writing Club, led by a published author, also publishes an in-house magazine that always gets rave reviews. Do you enjoy singing? Our men’s and women’s choruses practice weekly and perform to “sold-out” audiences of residents and families. Those who prioritize fitness can attend professional-led water aerobics and yoga classes, or join our Walking Club, led by our on-site physical and occupational therapy partners. Then there're painting and beading classes; Bunco, billiards and weekly bingo; and trips to local malls, the cinema, the North Carolina Symphony and the state museums in nearby Raleigh.
Windsor Point’s Health Care Center is Medicare-approved and provides three levels of care to residents who need additional assistance. Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skill Nursing services are provided by well-trained, compassionate staff. The Health Care Center is constantly monitored by the State of North Carolina and always receives the state’s highest ratings.
Windsor Point residents enjoy time spent socializing over delicious means served in casual elegance. Each resident receives his/her choice of lunch or dinner daily and, in some areas of care, receives three meals a day served in separate dining rooms. Wine and cheese served each Saturday before dinner provides residents a time to visit with each other and catch up on the week’s activities.
Imagine beautifully landscaped grounds, a warm and caring atmosphere, and friends with similar backgrounds and interests. Add planned trips by our exceptionally skilled activities directors, a wellness program, good food and a heated pool and hot tub. All of this awaits at Windsor Point, a small-town community with a family feel. A big plus is the monthly fees are among the lowest in the area.
John and Myrna Worsley discovered Windsor Point after spending three years on the waiting list for another retirement community, only to be told they would wait three more years. That was too long, they decided.
“When you get older you get less excited about doing some things,” John says. “We could see repairs coming on our last house, and we just didn’t want to be bothered with them.”
“There was yard work, and there were stairs,” agrees Myrna. “When we moved into our last house, we thought it would be our last move. But your opinions change over time, and we just wanted an easier lifestyle.” Upon arriving, John and Myrna were happily surprised at the Windsor Point welcome.
“Everyone was very friendly, and they attached themselves to us like we were long-lost friends,” John says. “We have more friends here than we’ve ever had anywhere. We sit with different people every night and every dinner is an adventure.
Choosing Windsor Point, they say, was simply a matter of research. “There’s beautiful weather; the scenery is nice, and it’s a college area with plenty of facilities and lots to see and do.” A word of advice? “We’ve seen so many of our friends wait until they have to find help, and there are all kinds of heartache and emotions associated with that,” John says. “Do your homework and understand what types of communities are available and which best serve your needs.”
You can look long and hard at numerous continuing care retirement facilities in the Triangle, but you cannot do any better than Windsor Point. To put it more simply, come home to Windsor Point Continuing Care Retirement Center! It will be the best decision you have ever made for yourselves and your family.
