Simply put, Assisted Living at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay offers personalized care in a residential setting. It is for residents whose health or well-being requires a higher level of support to enable them to be as independent as possible, only stepping in to provide additional care services and support when needed. All of this support is in addition to the continued lifestyle of a resort style senior living community. We believe that being part of a community is as important as the care that is received. And with the LifeCare benefit, there is no increase in the basic monthly fee as residents transition through the continuum of care.
