Tucked just steps from downtown Winslow, Winslow Manor has quietly earned a reputation as “the best-kept secret on Bainbridge.”

With its walkable location, friendly atmosphere and family-owned roots, this independent living community offers something special: a place where connection and comfort come naturally.

Winslow Manor is part of the Bainbridge Senior Living family, providing residents with personalized care and a genuine sense of belonging for more than 35 years.

“It feels like family here, not like a big corporation,” says community representative Carrie Chavez. That sense of family extends to every corner of Winslow Manor, from cozy apartments to shared dinners where residents gather Monday through Friday to enjoy good food, good company and the occasional glass of wine.

“People move in because they’re lonely in their big homes and looking for that sense of belonging – and once they’re here, they’re really happy with their decision,” Chavez says.

For residents like Gerd, who was born in Norway and whose father was a doctor serving patients across the northern Lofoten Islands, that sense of connection feels especially meaningful. “I have made some friends,” she says. “We sit in the dining room together. Sometimes we socialize from 5:30 to 7 or 8 p.m., during and after dinner. Just visit.”

An adventurer at heart, Gerd fondly recalls her early love of the outdoors. “I bought my first set of skis when I was five,” she says with a smile – a spirit of independence that continues to shine in her life at Winslow Manor.

Deborah Curry, another resident, says her decision to move in just felt right from the beginning. “My kids know me – and when my daughter first walked into Winslow Manor, she said, ‘Mom’s going to like this.’”

Residents describe the community as safe, welcoming and filled with opportunities to stay social, whether through a monthly happy hour, a neighborhood barbecue or joining activities at Madison House, Bainbridge Senior Living’s nearby sister community. From live music and exercise classes to book clubs and art walks, the options to stay engaged are endless.

Perhaps one of the most comforting aspects of life at Winslow Manor is the ability to age in place. As part of the Bainbridge Senior Living family, residents receive priority access to assisted or respite care should their needs change.

“It’s a wonderful feeling knowing you can stay within the same caring community as you age,” Chavez says.

Now through the end of 2025, Bainbridge Senior Living is offering an exceptional move-in promotion – half off rent and the community fee for new residents.

For those considering a move, Bainbridge Senior Living has also teamed up with Windermere Real Estate to provide helpful resources on downsizing and preparing your home for sale, offering practical tips to make the transition easier.

At its heart, Bainbridge Senior Living is about soulfulness – the joy of connection, the comfort of belonging and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re home.
