Assisted living provides a distinct combination of individualized care, familiar neighborhood surroundings and professional expertise. Residents are assured ongoing wellness evaluations and levels of living that address their specific needs. Licensed, compassionate team members assist with daily tasks as needed, and the many amenities and life-enriching activities are geared toward helping residents more easily enjoy what matters most to them.
When seniors reach the point where they need a little extra help with daily tasks, they sometimes wonder if they are ready for an assisted living community. Perhaps the concern is costs or the hassle of moving, or perhaps they associate assisted living with nursing homes. We know it can be a difficult, deeply personal decision, but we will say that an assisted living community is far from a nursing home. Our seniors maintain active social lives, and they set their own daily schedules. They live in private apartments but enjoy having a maintenance-free community and the little bit of extra help that comes with assisted living. We are here to support you while you live the way you want to live.
It’s best to start with a physician’s assessment. Depending on the circumstances of your situation, or that of your loved one, you can match needs to the right level of assistance. When help with daily tasks is needed – taking medicines, bathing, dressing, meals, transportation and housekeeping—assisted living can be the answer. Trained professionals provide support while helping preserve an individual’s independence.
We welcome all faiths into our community. Our chaplain helps connect our residents with spiritual services that best fit them.
We have 317 apartments and suites on the campus at Aberdeen Heights, with 30 assisted living apartments—a great size to be able to easily get to know your neighbors. In assisted living, we offer beautiful one- and two-bedroom apartments.
We can direct you to convenient storage units nearby, or an on-site garage may be rented based upon availability. In addition, we can provide expert assistance in rightsizing. A move of this kind usually requires anticipating future needs and making some tough decisions about furnishings and possessions. We can help you in planning. We will work with you personally to ensure the choices you make are right for you and consistent with the way you want live.
We are able to serve all of our residents from one campus under one roof.
