Western Horizons Living Centers

In addition to the skilled nursing facility, whlc operated a 16-unit assisted living facility known as western horizons assisted living (whal). It provides handicap accessible bathrooms in the rooms, electric door openers throughout the facility, and is all on one level to provide easy accessibility to the tenants. Whal operates charitably by meeting the physical, emotional, recreational, social, religious, and similar needs of elderly people. Some of the activities include card playing, gardening, weekly religious gatherings, and social interaction with each other or family visitors. Staff also provides other health-related services including bathing, hair, skin and nail care, dressing, assistance with mobility, communication and reminders, medication management, housekeeping and laundry services, meal planning and preparation, exercise program, and monitoring blood sugars, vital signs and oxygen. While there has been some turnover throughout the year due to death and/or the tenant needing a higher level of care, the facility maintains a high occupancy percentage due to steady demand for this level of care.
