Life plan communities are dedicated to giving each person an opportunity to develop a plan for their life that includes more than just a place to live. It’s about incorporating the dimensions of lifelong wellness into each day, whether through nutrition, exercise, mental stimulation, socializing opportunities, fulfillment, and perhaps most prominently, peace of mind that comes from having a continuum of care.
A continuum of care can give you confidence, when you can’t predict the future
By choosing a life plan community, more and more seniors are making plans now that will free them from worries of tomorrow, such as the rising cost of assisted living or the cost of memory care. They want to select a lifestyle in advance that not only gives them an outstanding quality of life now but assures them they’ll receive the care and support they need come what may.
That’s what a continuum of care can do: provide seamless access to future care.

No need to worry when your needs change
Once you have become a resident of a life plan community, you need not worry what will happen if your needs change. With a continuum of care to rely on, you will have priority access to a higher level of care if and when needed without having to move elsewhere. No disrupting your environment or never seeing the same faces again.
You’re home. And in a life plan community, you can be reassured you will always have a home.
A continuum of care gives you the peace of mind of being prepared for the future, while also relieving your family of future burdens or difficult decisions or worries about the rising cost of assisted living or the cost of memory care.
Why is the security of a life plan community so important?
- You can move in and relax. You don’t have to feel anxiety about the future; you have a plan, and your health care costs are predictable.
- You know that you will still enjoy a high quality of life even if your needs change.
- You will be surrounded by familiar faces, which is especially helpful if you are part of a couple, and your spouse develops a need for a higher level of care. You will still be close together, making visiting much easier and safer.
- You get to enjoy the company of your peers, people who understand where you are in life and are there to support you.
- You are giving your family precious peace of mind and protecting them from having to make difficult decisions later.
What is it like to live in a life plan community?
- You have easy access on-site access to a range of amenities, such as dining venues, fitness areas, outdoor patios, spaces for games, events, classes and more, plus many other important features.
- All exterior maintenance is taken care of by a prompt and professional staff. No more worries of repairing a leaky roof, mowing the lawn, painting, or other tasks that put you at risk and are often unpleasant.
- You enjoy the reassurance of 24/7 staffing as well as security personnel. It feels good to know that someone is always available to assist if needed, no matter the time or day of week.
- A full calendar of fun and fulfilling activities is available each month for you to enjoy. So many ways to socialize, have fun, and find a new sense of purpose and meaning in each and every day.
- You’re living in a vibrant, stimulating atmosphere with an array of opportunities for fun, lifelong learning, and companionship: a great prescription for healthy aging!
