Overview of Westwind Manor

Instagram

At 25 Main Street in Franklin, New Jersey, Westwind Manor runs a 36-bed assisted living community under administrator Catherine Mendel. Grace Eldercare, LLC owns the property. The surrounding area is somewhat walkable, with a Walk Score of 39, so residents and visiting family can reach a handful of nearby services on foot, though most errands still mean getting in a car.

Right now the community sits at 72% occupancy, with 26 of its 36 beds filled. That gap leaves real room for new residents who are considering a move.

New Jersey’s Department of Health, Health Facilities Evaluation and Licensing inspects the community as part of its regular oversight of assisted living residences statewide. Those inspections have touched on infection prevention and control and care planning and documentation.

For a family weighing a smaller assisted living setting in Franklin, Westwind Manor offers a defined ownership structure and administrator, along with open capacity for residents ready to move in soon.
