A Better Way of Life

McPeak’s Assisted Living has a reputation for excellent care and accommodations and is devoted to the health, welfare and comfort of all of our residents. When comparing all average monthly living expenses at home with McPeak’s base price of $2,700 a month, assisted living is the more financially responsible option. Residents at McPeak’s live in a comfortable homelike setting in a former mansion where they will receive only the best care. Seniors can live at ease in the safe and clean environment of our residence.

Seniors in assisted living can maintain an active lifestyle while those close to them get the peace of mind of knowing that a caring, well-trained staff is available should their loved one need assistance.

 

The Value Goes Beyond Quality of Life

Your loved one can take comfort in knowing that they will receive outstanding service and the optimal care at McPeak’s Assisted Living, and they can also appreciate the financial value of assisted living at our facility.

Assisted living offers a less expensive alternative to home health care and can be a great solution for people who do not require the full services of a nursing home. It also allows seniors to cut down on the expense and hassle of owning and maintaining a home.

Oftentimes people tend to underestimate their expenses each month, especially by forgetting to include miscellaneous costs such as entertainment or socialization expenses.

The cost of assisted living is invaluable. Not only does it cover what one would spend on a mortgage or rental payment each month, it includes what one would pay on all basic living expenses such as utilities, food, housekeeping, health monitoring services, lawn care, property taxes, insurance, trash removal, repairs, maintenance and entertainment.

When comparing all average monthly living expenses at home with McPeak's base price, assisted living is the more financially responsible option:
