Frequently Asked Questions

Who is assisted living for?

Seniors who wish to maintain their independence but require additional support with daily tasks can greatly benefit from assisted living. Offering the same social activities and amenities as independent living, assisted living provides an individualized care plan specific to each resident’s needs. Whether they require assistance with medication, dressing, grooming, bathing, or another daily activity, a staff member is there to help. Assisted living residents receive continuous care and support in addition to services such as housekeeping, laundry, and nutritious meals. Seniors residing in our new assisted living community, the Abbey Cottage, enjoy care when they need it, and freedom when they don’t.

What is skilled nursing?

Skilled nursing provides high-level medical care and interventions by licensed medical professionals. Available either as short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay or long-term for those with chronic conditions, skilled nursing offers around-the-clock care. Whether residents need medical intervention for IV medication, wound care, injections, therapies, or vital sign monitoring, our skilled nursing programs are tailored to them. Not only do our medical professionals provide the necessary assistance, but they also create personalized Plans of Care for each senior. Residents live in private or semi-private rooms, and depending on their level of care needs, participate in community activities, as well. At Abbey Senior Health, not only do we support seniors physically, but we also strive to care for their mental and spiritual well-being.

How do I choose the best senior living option?

The best senior living option for you is the one where your needs are met. Senior living options range in the level of care provided, with independent living offering the least assistance, and skilled nursing the most. At Abbey Senior Health, we offer a variety of care options so that seniors can age in place. As needs change, so do the services we provide. Seniors and their families don’t have to worry about searching for a new community – rather, our dedicated staff adapts the services to meet their new needs. For instance, residents can transition from our Villa Theresa Apartments to the Abbey Cottage with no issue.

How much does senior living cost?

Several factors are at play when determining the cost of senior living, such as care level, living arrangements, and geographical location. Generally speaking, seniors who require greater amounts of care and support will likely pay a bit more than those who don’t. However, each option we offer includes state-of-the-art services, amenities, and social opportunities aimed to provide a rich, fulfilling life.
