Many of Westminster’s seniors, about 16% of the city’s 20,000 residents, may be considering their options for long-term care, including assisted living, which averages $5,000 per month. Assisted living communities pair apartment-style living with 24-7 personal care and assistance with the tasks of daily living. Nutritious meals are included, plus light housekeeping and maintenance. Assisted living communities also have different activities for residents, from fitness classes to games to a gardening club and group outings.Â
