LIVING OPTIONS
Our WLC family is committed to providing you or your loved one with the utmost quality care in a homelike environment. The staff at each facility understands the importance of balancing quality of life, dignity, care, and respect. No matter if it is short-term rehabilitation or a long-term stay, we welcome you to experience our high standards of care. Our rooms and shared areas have been updated to be more comfortable, functional, and feature the comforts of home. It’s our focus to make our home, your home.
Short-Term Stays
There are challenges a person faces after a setback occurs in their health. Our short-term rehabilitation program, Step Forward provides a place for you to recover while receiving therapies in house. We provide skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, dietary services, new and updated equipment to get you back on your feet, homelike environments, and both shared and private rooms.
Our therapists work with your physician or surgeon to determine the best methods of rehabilitation and therapies for you. We will create goals with you and help you achieve them so you can get back to living your best life.
Stay-A-Little-Longer
If you or your family member is considering skilled care, we have excellent programs and communities to meet and exceed your needs. We offer private or shared rooms, delicious meals, excellent rehabilitation services, a great activities department and hospice care services at each community. We are very proud of our staff of nurses, social services, dietary, housekeeping and office staff that give our residents a safe and comfortable home to live in.
Try It Out - Respite Visits
If your physician has recommended 24/7 care services, if you are a caretaker in need of extended services for a short period of time, or if you are considering short or long-term care – We proudly offer respite services. You are able to come in, stay for a few days, and enjoy all the amenities offered to our residents. Contact us, our administrators, or social services at any of our communities to schedule your visit.

Physician & Nursing Care
If you or your loved one is finding it difficult or is no longer able to perform activities of daily living without assistance, WLC is a great option as a trustworthy community and will provide you with ease of mind. Our staff is trained to assist each person as an individual and every staff member works as a team to build a safe, secure, and skilled quality of life.
Even if your loved one is still able to provide their own care but is finding difficulty due to declines in health or memory, fall risks, or even decreased socialization – WLC may be the answer. Please do not hesitate to contact any of our homes and speak with the administrator or social services to learn more.
Each community has a physician who makes weekly or bi-weekly visits to each resident. Our physician partners are highly skilled, tenured and understand our mission and goals.
Respite & Hospice Care
WLC understands that every situation is unique. We offer respite services when a full-time caretaker is not available. This provides a safe and secure solution for short stays. Even though the care is not long-term, we will gladly provide a plan to ensure that all needs are not only met but exceeded during this type of stay.
All WLC communities work closely with the excellent hospice and home health staff in the region to provide a combination of medical, spiritual, and psychological support at the end of life.
Our staff will work closely with individual physician plans to ensure pain management and comfort is the priority.
Friends and family are encouraged to visit their loved one during this very important time. We want you to rest easy knowing the decision to choose WLC is the very best in care and encourage you to call, stop by, or email us with any questions you may have.
