Westminster Assisted Living of Decatur offers an assisted-living level of care designed for older adults who need daily support but do not require the intensity of a nursing home. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, perform routine health assessments and coordinate with each resident’s physicians. Care staff are on duty 24 hours a day to respond to emergencies, and each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system that links directly to the nurse station. The community can arrange on-site lab work, basic diagnostic screenings and rehabilitation therapies, reducing the need for residents to travel off campus for many medical services.
Beyond medical oversight, the care team assists residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming and mobility. Regularly scheduled transportation is available for outside medical appointments, and staff help manage paperwork and follow-up instructions. A structured fall-prevention program, daily wellness checks and optional exercise classes aim to maintain residents’ strength and balance. Short-term respite stays are accepted when space permits, and the community can coordinate hospice or home health services should a resident’s needs change.
Accommodations at Westminster Assisted Living of Decatur include studio and one-bedroom apartments as well as companion suites. Each unit has a private bathroom with safety grab bars, emergency pull cords and individual climate controls. Weekly housekeeping and personal laundry service are standard, while select apartments add features such as kitchenettes, step-in showers or courtyard patios. Not all accommodations have all these features, so it is best to verify specific apartment layouts during a tour.
Residents receive three meals daily in the shared dining room, with menus planned by a dietitian and prepared on site. Pureed, low-sodium, diabetic and other physician-ordered diets can be accommodated, and staff are available to assist anyone who needs help at the table. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and tray service is offered to residents who are temporarily ill. Guests can purchase meals, and special occasions such as birthdays or holidays often include themed menus to encourage family participation.
