Westminster Village - Spanish Fort

Westminster Village - Spanish Fort Is this your business? Westminster Village is a non-profit CRCC, or Continuing Care Retirement Community, located in historic Spanish Fort, Alabama. While most of the units (80 percent) are independent living, the community also offers assisted living and skilled nursing units. CRCCs allow seniors to move in when they're independent and stay for the duration as their needs change. Couples need not separate because they require different levels of care. Westminster Village is the only accredited CRCC on the gulf coast. Westminster Village is also the only CRCC in the area that offers a Life Care Plan, meaning that the facility received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC). These certifications represent outstanding quality and financial strength. The Life Care Plan directs long-term contracts to provide caregiving services, skilled nursing and housing in one facility, alleviating the need for resident moves. The coastal community of Spanish Fort is just one mile from the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, and 35 minutes from the gulf. The neighboring Fair Hope is a highly desirable area for seniors with its picturesque downtown and thriving art community. Westminster Village provides transportation to the symphony, theater, space gallery and playhouse in the park. Residents are especially enthusiastic about attending Mobile's own annual Mardi Gras Parade and Ball. Westminster Village boasts 56 wooded acres and beautiful Spanish architecture. Each level of living has its own dining room and activity program and all are just a short walk to common meeting areas like the Village Store and coffee corners. The independent living units are in the main three-floor building, neighborhood apartments, and garden cottages. Bay Ridge at Westminster contains the CCRC's memory care, rehabilitation, plus 62-bed skilled nursing and 28 assisted living units -- all connected to the main building's independent living units.
