Health & Wellness at Princeton Windrows

The Princeton Windrows Health & Wellness Center is considered the backbone of the community’s healthcare program. We are committed to fitness, overall well-being and easy access to quality healthcare.

The Princeton Windrows Health & Wellness Center has been structured with care and sensitivity to provide our residents every opportunity to live independently and to stay healthy.

Unlike a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Princeton Windrows offers unbundled services. Since Princeton Windrows does not include the cost of healthcare in the monthly fee, you maintain control of the delivery of your own health care. By not subsidizing others’ healthcare services, like Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), you are the one in charge of your own lifestyle and choices.

Healthcare services are a crucial issue to all of us. If you are considering moving to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), we encourage you to call or visit Princeton Windrows, meet our Health & Wellness staff, and consider all of your options.
