Previously called a CCRC – or Continuing Care Retirement Community – a Life Plan Community offers a continuum of health care services that proceed from independent living. 

It’s how seniors can manage their evolving health care needs in one senior living setting. Independent living residents in a CCRC know a continuum – which often includes assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation – will be available at favorable rates if those care levels are needed.

Lifecare is the name for a type of senior living community contract, also called a Type A contract. It can best be explained as prepaying for future care, should you need it, and guarantees access to that care. Seafields offers a Type B contract, or a modified Lifecare contract. After 90 days free in either Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing, there is a 40% lifetime discount off the private market rate for Assisted Living and a 20% discount off the market private pay rate for 365 days.

For many individuals, assistance with the tasks of daily living – including personal hygiene and medication management, for example – is all that’s required to keep them feeling independent. Customized to the very particular level of need, assisted living is that helping hand.

Sooner than later. Many will remark after moving that they wish they had moved sooner. Waiting for a health condition that requires support can be an unfortunate choice for those who would otherwise – in good health – embrace the active lifestyle and pursue their interests vigorously.

Check the numbers – and your sales counselor can help you with community costs. The truth often surprises – that life in the community compares favorably to staying at home. Scrutinizing homeownership costs and comparing honestly with what’s included in community fees can elevate the appeal of community life: It costs less than you think.

The entrance fee retains your chosen residence and funds the community’s care continuum and long-term capital improvements. It’s your investment in your future care, therefore. Depending on contract selected, a large portion of your entrance fee is returned to you or your estate when you leave the community.
