A Word from the Administrator, Allen Wong

As I was growing up, I was always taught to respect and listen to my elders.  Older people have always surrounded me, and I have learned many wise lessons from them.  I grew as a man and as an adult from their affection, warmth, and their life stories.  The elderly have made sacrifices and contributed to our society, and we should all respect and honor them.

My first job was working in my parents’ restaurant, working my way up from dishwasher to eventually manager.  I have since retired from the food business, but my love for food, cooking skills, and passion for hospitality remain strong.

After we closed the restaurants, I followed my cousin, whose family owned and operated an assisted living facility, a skilled nursing facility, and a hospice agency.  I started as his assistant and eventually earned my administrator license.  Seeing the insides and outs of the long-term care business further empowered my passion for assisting the elderly.  I was able to see how certain parts of the long-term care industry were under-serving the elderly.  I founded Beverly Assisted Living because I believe I can help the underserved elderly community in this way.

I have never been great at public speaking.  I have always been my best in a one-on-one, personalized setting.  I love sitting down and listening to someone else’s life stories.  Some stories are even better than some novels out there.  When I bought the house to found Beverly Assisted Living, I aimed for a personalized, intimate setting where all residents would feel at home, and I would feel at ease knowing that my staff could take care of each resident to the best of their ability.

Why are we different?

We understand there are many options for assisted living facilities.  Before you choose an assisted living home for yourself or a loved one, we encourage you to understand all your options. A residential assisted living community like Beverly Assisted Living offers the personalized care and intimate setting that you or your loved one deserves.

We keep things simple—two all-inclusive prices with no hidden fees and no charges for extra time.  Your monthly rate will only increase once a year, as I would like to reward my staff for their hard work and commitment.  Just think of us as an all-inclusive bed-and-breakfast, here to assist you or your loved one.   Come by and visit, ask any questions, as I am always open to talking to prospective residents or their families.  Call us anytime if you have any questions, or fill out the form below!

With gratitude,

Allen Wong, Administrator
