We know there’s a lot to think about when considering Assisted Living. To make things easier, we’ve answered some of the questions we hear most often from residents and families.
Assisted Living is a lifestyle for seniors who need extra help with everyday tasks like cooking, housekeeping, laundry and transportation. Assisted Living communities like we have at Wesley Willows provide all the assistance seniors need while also allowing them to maintain as much independence as possible. Residents can live in private, personalized apartments and enjoy access to a wide variety of amenities and social activities, with caring staff available 24 hours a day.
Assisted Living is one of the four most common senior living options. The other three are Independent Living, Skilled Nursing Care, and Memory Care. Assisted Living offers more dedicated care services than Independent Living, including 24/7 on-campus nurse availability and ongoing help with daily tasks. Conversely, it does not include as much specialized medical care as skilled nursing living arrangements offer. Therefore, Assisted Living is the perfect option for seniors who can still maintain much of their independence without requiring constant hands-on care by nurses or staff.
Personal funds from monthly income, savings or retirement accounts are the most common forms of payment at Wesley Willows. If applicable, seniors supplement their personal funds with long-term care insurance or money from a home sale. Veterans can also receive help paying for Assisted Living from the Veterans Administration (VA).
