What is a Life Plan Community?
Also known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities, or CCRCs, Life Plan Communities offer flexible residential senior living options and access to fully accredited on-site health care for your future. Life Plan Communities typically offer various levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing.
Typically, incoming residents will “buy in” to a Life Plan Community for life – with the guarantee of access to higher levels of high-quality, long-term care, often at discounted rates. Unlike at rental communities or traditional neighborhoods, residents at Life Plan Communities aren’t paying for real estate. Instead, they are investing in their long-term care plan for the rest of their lives. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with access to all of your long-term health care needs in one location knowing you were instrumental in making decisions for yourself.
Life Plan Communities make it easy for residents to get to know one another and form new friendships. This is vital, as research has shown that there is a strong correlation between social interaction and health and well-being among older adults.
There are plenty of opportunities for social opportunities at a Life Plan Community. Whether it’s joining a new friend for dinner, getting to know your neighbors or attending a community-wide event, it’s easy to get involved in the community.
