Be the first to review this community25 Main Street, Franklin, NJ 07416, Sussex County
Westwind Manor is an intimate assisted living residence located right on Main Street in Franklin, New Jersey. The building holds deep local roots, having been originally constructed in 1908 by the New Jersey Zinc Company as the historic Catlin House mansion before opening as a senior retirement home in 1964. Today, the grand vestibule welcomes seniors into a warm manor setting that is licensed for just 36 beds, keeping the community small and closely knit.
Accommodations include modern living quarters alongside newly renovated independent apartments designed to let residents relax without everyday chores. Weekly housekeeping, daily trash removal, and weekly personal laundry services take care of the upkeep. Residents can spend quiet afternoons relaxing in the home's outdoor living areas or sharing time with neighbors in the common rooms.
Dining centers on three home-style meals prepared fresh daily by the on-site chef and monitored by a licensed dietician. Meals are served restaurant-style, and snacks and drinks remain available whenever someone wants a quick bite. Daily life features plenty of options to stay busy, including morning stretches, exercise classes, Wii Fit games, arts and crafts, card games, gardening, and movie nights.
Staff members provide personalized assistance tailored to what each person needs, whether that means extra support with routines or medication distribution and supervision. A registered nurse performs weekly vital sign and wellness checks, and the team meets regularly with families to adjust care as needs change over time. Scheduled transportation takes residents to doctor visits, church services, local shops, and neighborhood spots like libraries, museums, and diners.
