Understanding the Benefits of a Continuing Care Retirement Community
For most adults, our physical, mental, and health needs change with age. That’s why, as we age, we want to make sure we have access to quality healthcare to meet our evolving needs. And more than healthcare, we want to enjoy our retirements without worrying about what to do if our future needs are different from those of today. To help ease those concerns, continuing care retirement communities (CCRC), also known as life-plan communities, were created.
What Is a Continuing Care Retirement Community?
Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) offer plans that help provide a full continuum of care while also helping protect you against the rising costs of long-term care. You can enter the community while still able to enjoy the independent living benefits and enjoy peace of mind that should you need assisted living, memory care, or short- or long-term skilled nursing care, those options are available.
Woodland Pond is a CCRC that offers Lifecare – pre-paying for a lifetime of care. Lifecare is a financial agreement that provides quality care services right where you live and protects you from the rising costs of care. Lifecare evens out your expenses and makes them more predictable, for life.
What Are the Benefits of a Continuing Care Retirement Community?
One of the biggest benefits of a CCRC is the cost savings. By joining a CCRC while still physically independent and healthy, seniors save money.
CCRCs are also designed to help you stay in your home and maintain your independence for as long as possible. Woodland Pond is designed to enhance your quality of life. Our thoughtful amenities have been carefully planned to simplify each day and provide meaningful options for you to craft your own version of the perfect retirement.
