No large upfront buy-in is required to become a resident. We are a rental retirement community and provide affordable senior living options with month-to-month leases. The monthly rate will depend on the level of care and type of residence chosen. Our all-inclusive pricing for assisted living and memory care includes a comfortable senior-friendly apartment, most utilities including Wi-Fi and basic cable, chef-prepared dining, use of community services and amenities, regularly scheduled transportation, planned social and recreational activities, and more. We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden fees, and any additional costs are minimal and entirely optional.

We provide a full array of residential options:
 

• Assisted living – All levels of assistance with activities of daily living including personal hygiene, ambulation and medication management.
• Memory care – Specialized care for those with cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s disease. Our memory care neighborhoods include 24/7 care and person-centered social and engagement activities. Residents are supported at all stages of memory loss.
• Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation care facilitates a faster recovery after illness, injury or surgery. This short-term stay bridges the gap between hospital and home and can last a few weeks to a month. Treatment may combine physical, occupational and speech therapies as well as other specialized medical services.
• Skilled nursing – Skilled nursing is for seniors needing greater care while recovering from a hospital stay, or with medical needs that require longer-term care. This 24-hour long-term medical care is provided by licensed nursing professionals including an attending physician, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing aides.
• Respite care – Short-term stays with around-the-clock professional care in a comfortable and secure environment. Loved ones can receive compassionate care and excellent amenities during their short stay. Benefits of respite care can include assistance for a loved one after a hospital stay or during illness, a short break for family members, or needed support when a caregiver is traveling.

Research shows that 70% of how you age depends on your lifestyle choices. Adults living at a retirement community with a continuum of care, such as Walnut Place, live 15% longer than the senior population in general. This longer lifespan is attributed to better nutrition and preventive health care, vibrant social connections, increased personal safety and stress reduction.
