About Westminster at Lake Ridge
*Featuring Spacious Cottages!* Westminster at Lake Ridge offers you an active, independent retirement lifestyle with the comfort, security and services that really matter to you. The choices begin with the style of residence you prefer. It could be one of the clustered cottages, perhaps with a view from a patio across the tranquil lake, or you might prefer an apartment overlooking the natural beauty of the nearby woods. Whether you are looking for an apartment or a spacious cottage, a variety of sizes and floor plans are available to accommodate your preference. Whichever you choose, your own furnishings and keepsakes will make your home as individual as you are. Your pets will also receive a warm welcome from the Westminster community. In addition to the spacious accommodations, Westminster's Community Center becomes an extension of your own residence. A library, lounges, gift shop, bank, beauty/barber shop and guest room are just a few of the areas that provide convenience right on your doorstep. You will enjoy delicious meals and the pleasure of greeting friends in the gracious, relaxed atmosphere of the dining room, or perhaps chat over a cup of coffee in the Clipper Cafe. For a more intimate affair, the Private Dining Room is readily available for smaller gatherings. When you leave Westminster to travel to the ends of the earth - or only overnight - you'll know that your home is safe and well cared for in your absence. Westminster's housekeeping and maintenance staff take pride in keeping the community clean and attractive. Fire sprinklers, smoke detectors and on-site security enhance your feeling of safety and peace of mind, along with an emergency call system that is monitored around the clock by the Health Center staff. For your spiritual needs, the Chaplain is available for visitation and worship services in the on-site Chapel.
