Westgate Living Center is dedicated to creating a comfortable and secure environment for its residents, prioritizing compassion and quality in all aspects of care. The philosophy at Westgate Living Center is rooted in providing the best of both worlds through Assisted Living, offering as much independence as residents desire while ensuring that comprehensive personal care and support services are always within reach. The center understands the importance of supporting residents in maintaining their autonomy, yet stands ready with a team of highly trained nurses, therapists, and providers for those times when additional care becomes necessary.
When recovery is needed—whether following a planned or unexpected hospital stay—the staff at Westgate Living Center is fully equipped to assist residents on their journey back to health. Their dedicated rehabilitation team works closely with each individual, focusing on restoring the highest possible level of independence in a caring and supportive way. The overarching goal is to enable residents to return home safely and quickly, prepared to resume the activities they most enjoy. For those for whom living independently at home is no longer feasible, Westgate Living Center strives to make the transition to long-term care as seamless and worry-free as possible. Families are encouraged to visit the center, meet the team, and see firsthand the commitment to personalized care for each new resident. Upon admission, a thorough medical history is collected to inform a personalized care plan, recognizing that every resident comes with unique needs and preferences.
Westgate Living Center provides 24-hour nursing care and ongoing physician oversight, complemented by a comprehensive suite of in-house support services, including pharmacy, laboratory, podiatry, and wound care. All aspects of the center are designed with convenience in mind, recognizing that comfort and ease are critically important during times of transition and healing. Beyond residential care, the center also offers an outpatient rehabilitation program, serving those who are able to safely remain at home but require specialized therapy to enhance strength, mobility, balance, and overall function in daily living. Referrals to these outpatient therapy services may come from a primary care or specialty physician. Most services offered in this program can be conveniently billed to a resident’s primary insurance plan.
In addition, Westgate Living Center extends respite care options, delivering peace of mind to both patients and caregivers. Whether relief is needed for just five days or as much as five weeks, the center’s flexible approach to respite care is centered around quality, round-the-clock nursing support without any mandated minimum stay. These services may be covered by Medicaid or private pay arrangements, and do not require hospice enrollment to access.
