Assisted Living

Our Assisted Living Community consists of 50 Studio and One Bedroom Private Apartments spread over three floors, all accessible by elevator. We offer a high-level skill set that can accommodate a wide range of support needs for our residents. Everything we do is centered around the seniors who are currently living in our community, giving us the ability to empower each resident to live their lives to their full potential each day.

Our community is designed to be a vibrant and welcoming haven, featuring warm common spaces that invite connection and relaxation. Some noteworthy spaces at WSL are:

  • The lobby is adorned with beautiful murals, creating a cheerful entrance, while the bistro tempts with delicious snacks, coffee, and tea for all to enjoy.
  • The library offers an inviting atmosphere for quiet reading or engaging discussions.
  • A flourishing garden provides a serene escape with its lush greenery and blooming flowers while overlooking the South Mill Pond.
  • Our veterans’ wall of honor pays tribute to those who have served, fostering a sense of respect and gratitude.

Our Person-Centered Approach

Our specially trained staff is able to adapt to the needs of each assisted living resident. Some residents may only need slight assistance with daily activities, such as dressing, bathing, or medications, while others may need staff support for mobility and transfers, nurse intervention for managing complex medical conditions, incontinence care, or supervision of palliative or hospice services. WSL tailors every plan and approach to provide residents with the assistance that will help them live a comfortable and happy life.

We believe that engaging enrichment is just as important as great clinical care. Our calendar of programs is designed to be flexible and resident driven. The goal of each activity is to fully enrich our residents’ days. Our staff encourages physical and mental exercises that stimulate the senses and encourages residents to spend their days participating in the activities they enjoy.

Adaptive Support

We understand that health changes often come unexpectedly. Our Age in Place philosophy allows residents to live a stable and secure life in our community, knowing they will get the care and support they deserve as their needs change.
