History

Built in 1995, Winchester Senior Apartments was one of the first independent senior housing facilities in the region. We came to be after a regional study showed a need for senior housing with competitive rates. Only a few blocks from Detroit Lake, our facility is designed to maintain residents’ independence and comfort.
