In this series, we respond to questions posed to us by people curious about Life Plan Communities. If you’d like us to answer your question, email it to info@gurwin.org.
Life Plan Communities* offer residents a wide range of benefits that promote active and independent living. One important benefit is the peace of mind residents have knowing that additional levels of care are readily available should their health needs ever change.
One of the questions we hear on occasion is “Will I continue to be able to make my own healthcare decisions when I move to Fountaingate Gardens. The short answer? Yes!
