Looking for the best option for senior living in Western New York, North Carolina or South Carolina? The answer is DePaul.

At DePaul, we care about the people we serve, and that’s why we run exceptional programs. Indeed, quality care is at the core of our mission.

Whether you are seeking quality assisted living services for yourself or a loved one, remember that an assisted living community should offer the comforts of home but ultimately promote independence.

Here are seven reasons to choose DePaul senior living:

1. Affordability

Among the many factors that will determine if assisted living is the correct choice for your or your loved one, cost is usually a primary consideration.

Instead of a la carte pricing, DePaul Senior Living Communities are all-inclusive. Assisted living with DePaul is truly one of the best values in the area!

Patricia chose Westwood Commons, a DePaul Senior Living Community in North Chili, NY, for her mother because it was “economically feasible.”

2. Ample, valuable amenities

Often, it is the amenities that make the difference in the lives of our senior residents.

All of DePaul’s Senior Living Communities offer:

• 24-hour access to staff
• Three nutritious meals approved by a registered dietitian, as well as an evening snack
• Medication assistance
• Assistance with the activities of daily living, as needed
• A full schedule of life-enriching activities, fun outing and events, and worship services
• Emergency call system
• Housekeeping, laundry and linen services
• Case management services and budget planning, as needed

3. Homey, clean, accessible facilities

DePaul communities are both functional and attractive. Our one-floor senior living communities feature wide hallways, complete wheelchair access, a spacious dining room, a beauty/barbershop on the premises and more.

In addition, our communities are located on pleasantly-landscaped grounds. Many are in settings close to shopping, restaurants and places of worship. Residents dwell in either private or semi-private bedrooms, most with full bathrooms.

4. A full schedule of life-enriching activities, fun outings and events, and worship services

Your social calendar can always be full at a DePaul Senior Living Community, and our full schedule allows you the freedom to choose which activities you’d like to participate in.

Rest assured: our communities offer more than just Bingo!

Activities can include:

• Regular fitness/exercise

and so much more!

5. Assisted Living Program (ALP) Units and Memory Care

As you or your loved one ages and the potential for a decline in health increases, choosing DePaul senior living offers convenience and peace of mind for you or your loved one.

Aging in place

Some of DePaul’s Senior Living Communities offer Assisted Living Program (ALP) Units for those who don’t require the intensity of care offered by a skilled nursing facility, but could use some extra assistance beyond the standard services provided in a licensed adult home.

Memory Care

Many of DePaul’s Senior Living Communities in New York and North Carolina include a specialized Memory Care Unit for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

6. A truly welcoming environment

 

A caring staff makes all the difference: “…your skilled and caring staff…has made it easier for our family knowing that 24/7 our Mom was always watched, cared for and given attention.”

7. Licensed Care

DePaul Senior Living Communities are licensed in New York State by the New York State Department of Health, in North Carolina by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and in South Carolina by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
