Wendy Williams might think her living facility is a penitentiary — but to the average Joe, the amenities make it sound like a vacation.
The former talk show host, 60, has been hauled up in a New York assisted living facility after her court-ordered guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, took control of her well-being and finances. It was later announced the television personality was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which Williams now claims she does not have.
She recently said she’s living in a luxury “prison” and has only been allowed outside twice in the past month; however, her facility offers plenty of high-brow amenities that residents have access to.
Jeremy Clerc, co-founder and CEO of Assisted, a company that helps find the ideal care communities and homes for seniors, told the Post that single rooms at Williams’ facility runs a cool $27.1K per month.
But that’s not all.
“The Wendy Williams Show” alum is in the memory unit, which tacks on additional costs of between $10K to $25K, meaning her facility could put her back at a whopping $52K if she’s getting the top care.
Williams’ senior living center comes with five-star amenities, including gourmet dining with chef-prepared meals, according to Clerc, who shared that customized nutrition plans for residents can also be provided.
Williams’ facility comes with 24/7 concierge service, a full-service spa, a fitness center and plenty of recreational activities, from cultural experiences to in-house entertainment.
If residents don’t want to engage or bond, they can retreat to their private apartments.
Clerc, who has placed seniors at Williams’ center, shared that each suit is decked out with stylish furnishings and smart home technology.
The biggest one-bedroom at the facility is 808 square feet, with the largest being a two-bedroom 1,245 square foot apartment that would include additional costs.
An employee at her facility recently told TMZ that she was placed in the memory care unit after allegedly getting drunk during lunch at the care center.
The insider claimed Williams was initially placed on a floor without any restrictions until the alleged incident happened eight months ago. When the supervisors found out, they reportedly moved her to the memory care unit, which does not give her access to the elevator, in order to prevent another alleged repeat, according to the outlet.
The Post reached out to Williams’ lawyers, who declined to comment, and Morrissey but did not hear back immediately.
Last week, Williams signed an affidavit asking a judge to terminate her guardianship. She is allegedly scheduled to meet a physician chosen by her new legal team to undergo another mental evaluation sometime this week.
This is just the latest move in her battle to end her guardianship.
Her attorney, Jason Atlas, told The Post at the time that “everyone in the case has Wendy’s best interests at heart and we all expect that the ultimate outcome will be in line with those best interests.”
Morrissey previously informed the judge that she has no qualms about Williams doing another medical evaluation after the host claimed she isn’t suffering from dementia; however, the guardian pointed out that she was diagnosed by doctors at Weill Cornell Medical Center and it was the judge overseeing Williams’ case who ruled her “incapacitated.”
In January, Williams called her situation “emotional abuse,” telling Charlamagne tha God that her life is “f–ked up” and she feels like she’s “in prison.”
While speaking to TMZ for the documentary, “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy,” which is now available on Tubi, she argued that she’s not “cognitively impaired” and wanted her freedom back.
Over the weekend, Williams got a taste of freedom as she was allowed to visit her father for his 94th birthday in Miami.
