Pricing at The Chelsea at Washington Township

Chelsea Senior Living, who runs The Chelsea at Washington Township, does not state a price for assisted living, memory care or short stays anywhere on the community's own website, so there is no figure here rather than a guess. What the operator does say plainly is that this is a rental community, and its own cost calculator itemizes what a monthly figure covers across its communities. One request through Get Pricing gets you the actual monthly figure, which is the only number you can budget against.

One Address, Three Options at The Chelsea at Washington Township

The operator states that all living options are available in one central location so that residents can transition as their needs evolve without leaving. Assisted living, memory care and what it calls Short Stays are all offered. Short Stays are the respite option, used to cover a caregiver's surgery or vacation or to try the place first. For a family whose real fear is a second move in two years, an operator that says this in as many words is worth taking at its word and then testing on the detail.

Apartments at The Chelsea at Washington Township

The operator splits its floor plans by care level, which is the useful part: assisted living shows a studio and a one bedroom, and memory care a studio and a two bedroom. One assisted living tile carries a two-bedroom file name under a one-bedroom caption, so ask what each plan actually is. The operator states there are distinct differences between its assisted living floor plans and its memory care unit, and the layouts bear that out. No square footage is attached to any of them, so ask for the dimensions and ask to walk both sides of the building on one visit.

Memory Care at The Chelsea at Washington Township

The operator describes memory care as support from trained specialists in a rich, vibrant environment, and names music, games and group trips as what it uses to stimulate mind and spirit. It also states that there are distinct differences between its assisted living floor plans and its memory care unit, and the two memory care layouts it names, a studio and a two bedroom, are not the same pair it offers on the assisted living side.

Life at The Chelsea at Washington Township
