Frequently Asked Questions

Independent Living is designed for those who can live safely without any assistance or supervision. The services provided are primarily for convenience and lifestyle benefits.

Assisted Living is designed for individuals who need regular support but do not need a nurse on a daily basis. Assistance can be provided with activities such as meals, laundry, bathing, dressing and medication reminders.

Skilled Nursing care provides the necessary care for those who need a nurse or certified nursing assistant on a daily basis. Individuals might have chronic conditions that require a skilled caregiver in our Skilled Nursing care center.

Continuing Care or Life Plan refers to the fact that in addition to Independent Living, all levels of care are available to residents on the same campus. This would include Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, and specialized Memory Care. In addition, all levels of care can be accessed directly by those living outside the retirement community.

No. In fact, last year more than 700 “nonresidents” recuperated from surgery or benefited from Rebab in our Health Care Center. Our Rehabilitation services include physical and occupational therapy, and speech/language pathology.

A number of couples living in Presbyterian Homes communities do not share the same good health. On an individual basis, we can create a program that may include one spouse in Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing, and the other in a nearby apartment.

Each resident is provided a monthly discretionary dollar allowance to spend as they choose for dining, salon services, or in our on-site stores.

Pets are permitted in all Independent Living residences at Westminster Place. When you visit, please speak with a team member to find out more.
