The cost and value of a Life Plan Community
Though aging in place may seem like the more affordable choice, you should factor in all your expenses. When you consider your property taxes, utilities, groceries, transportation, housekeeping, and entertainment, you may find a Life Plan Community gives you greater value.
For example, when looking at the cost of living at Fountaingate Gardens Life Plan Community, you’ll have access to a wealth of amenities and activities that you wouldn’t otherwise have at home. Plus, with 24/7 security and access to healthcare, you’ll feel safe, secure and well-taken care of.
Long Island Life Plan Community FAQs
A continuing care retirement community (CCRC), or Life Plan Community, is a vibrant senior living community that offers independent living for active seniors, as well as higher levels of health care like assisted living, and skilled nursing care, when and if they are needed.
Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) or Life Plan Communities, are carefully designed to allow residents to remain comfortable in one senior living community even if their health care needs grow as time passes. A senior may enter the CCRC in independent living, but assisted living and skilled nursing care are available at the same community in case a resident should need a higher level of care.
Assisted Living Communities offer personal care, and some level of health care services to residents. Unlike assisted living communities, Life Plan communities, or Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), provide a range of living options from independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing to cater to residents’ health care needs.
