Aging in Place

Empowering people to have a great life

Want to maintain your independence while continuing to live in the home you love?

WESCO’s Aging in Place program brings our Next Step Living model to seniors — discreet smart-home safety technology paired with real, local humans on call around the clock. Stay in the home you love, with a safety net that respects your independence.

HOW IT WORKS

We start with a conversation

A free consultation and home walkthrough — we learn your routines, your concerns, and what “independent” looks like for you.

We set up discreet support

Motion and safety sensors, medication reminders, emergency call options — technology that blends into your home. No cameras watching you live your life.

Real people, on call 24/7

When something seems off — or when you just need a hand — our local Western Iowa team responds. And your family stays in the loop.

WHO IT’S FOR

Seniors living alone who want to stay that way, safely

Couples where one partner needs a little more support

Adult children who lie awake worrying about Mom or Dad — even from miles away

AN HONEST WORD ABOUT COST

Nursing homes are built — and priced — for 24-hour medical care. If what you need is safety, connection, and a helping hand, Aging in Place typically costs far less. Every plan is personalized, so your free consultation includes a clear, honest quote. No surprises.

FAQ

Is someone watching me all the time?

No. Discreet sensors notice patterns — like no morning movement — and our team checks in. No cameras, no hovering.

What happens in an emergency?

Emergency call options connect you to our on-call team immediately, 24/7.

Does insurance or Medicaid cover this?

Aging in Place is typically private pay. We’ll walk you through your options honestly in your free consultation.

Where is this available?

Across Western Iowa, from our local team.

How is this different from a medical alert button?

A button helps after something happens. Smart-home awareness plus human check-ins helps prevent things — and catches what a button can’t.

Planning ahead helps

You don’t have to figure this out alone. These guides walk through the questions families ask us most.
