High-tech medical records system
Your health is too precious to leave to chance, and that’s why Wind Crest and all Erickson communities use the Centricity electronic medical records system. This technology “files” your medical records electronically, providing an efficient way for health professionals to keep on top of your medical history.
Since your medical history may include allergies, current medications, and recent tests, Centricity can be life-saving, Babcock says. Even if you choose to retain an outside doctor, Centricity enables Wind Crest’s medical center to have up-to-date, accurate medical records on campus so that if an emergency arises, medical staff will have access to your medical history.
For example, if you are traveling away from your Wind Crest home and you need access to those records, the physician caring for you in an emergency needs only to make a call and your records will be instantly accessed—quite possibly avoiding a medical mistake.
Though demand for electronic medical records is growing, Erickson is still one of less than 5% of medical practices in the country that are using electronic medical records.
Everything for a healthy lifestyle
With 52,000 square feet of recreation space in the Town Center Clubhouse, there’s an activity, club, amenity, or class just about everywhere you turn at Wind Crest. And that does wonders for your overall health—not to mention your social and emotional wellbeing, Babcock says.
Want to swim during a blizzard? No problem. The year-round, 60-foot swimming pool is always kept at an inviting 82 to 88 degrees. If you’d rather be outdoors, there are limitless opportunities for hiking, biking, and walking just outside your door along the Highline Canal.
From the modern fitness center complete with fitness specialists to classes like tai chi and yoga, Wind Crest strives to stay current with the latest trends, says Wind Crest Resident Life Director Kimberly Pate. And since most classes and activities are born of resident requests and suggestions, Wind Crest’s activities will be unique.
Even the dining is on your side, with delicious healthy options to fit just about any dietary needs or preferences. From fresh ingredients to limited additives, Wind Crest offers you plenty of choices for balanced, restaurant-quality meals. Forget about reservations or parking hassles—your table is just a short indoor walk away.
Looking out for your future
Erickson Health is a comprehensive program of activities, features, and amenities that help you achieve and maintain optimal health.

Erickson research shows that while about one in four Americans will need nursing care at some point in their life, at an Erickson community only about one in 13 will ever need such care. At Wind Crest, you’ll have a home for life. And in the rare event that you exhaust your funds, you will never be asked to leave.
