Assisted living communities provide assistance to residents who may need some help with activities of daily life but wish to remain as independent as possible.

Loudonville is an all-inclusive neighborhood of care. There are no upfront buy-in costs or downpayment. Residents pay a one time community fee of $2,500, which covers the costs of transition.
