LIFE PLAN COMMUNITY

What is a Life Plan Community?

A Life Plan Community, formerly known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), is a senior living option that provides a comprehensive range of services to support seniors as their needs change over time. These communities allow residents to "age in place," offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all within one location. This ensures that residents can stay in the same community and receive the appropriate level of care as their needs evolve.

Key Features of a Life Plan Community:

• Comprehensive Care Options: Includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

• On-Site Healthcare Services: Access to healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, 24/7.

• Continuum of Care: Residents can seamlessly transition between different levels of care without the need to relocate.

• Peace of Mind: Provides reassurance to residents and their families that all care needs will be met within the same community.

• Engaging Environment: Offers a variety of programs, events, and social activities to keep residents active and engaged.

• Long-Term Planning: Residents can plan for their future care

Who is a Life Plan Community For?

• Those who wish to live independently but want the option to receive more care as needed.

• Individuals who seek a community that offers a full range of care options, from independent living to skilled nursing.

• Those who desire a long-term living solution that provides peace of mind and continuity of care.

• Individuals who value an active and engaging lifestyle with access to healthcare services on-site.

The Not-for-Profit Advantage:

Choosing a not-for-profit organization ensures that the primary purpose is to meet community needs, not to generate profit for shareholders. Here are key reasons why our members stand out:

• Community Focus: Any profits generated are reinvested to enhance services.

• Governance: These organizations are governed by volunteer boards committed to serving the community.

• Quality of Care: Not-for-profit providers often exceed regulatory requirements, focusing on personalized care, increased staffing, and higher wages for care staff.
