Yes! We know that pets are family, too. Most of our independent living communities are pet-friendly. Be sure to ask the specific community director about the pet policy.

One of the benefits of choosing Wallick is our continuum of care. Many of our campuses, like Oakleaf Village and Meadow Valley, offer assisted living and memory care on the same campus. This allows you to transition to a higher level of support without leaving the community you love.
