Among the many options for senior living accommodations, the most all-inclusive is the Life Plan Community. These senior living communities offer numerous lifestyle benefits, care services and on-site amenities to make residents’ lives convenient and worry-free.
Read on to learn more about the benefits of a Life Plan Community like The Oaks at Bartlett.
What’s a Life Plan Community?
A Life Plan Community is a full-service senior living community that offers independent living and a continuum of care just in case health needs change as residents age. What differentiates a Life Plan Community from a stand-alone senior living option are the fee structure and priority access to long-term care.
At a Life Plan Community, you move in while still independent and pay a one-time entrance fee plus monthly fees. In exchange, the community provides a vibrant independent lifestyle AND priority access to on-site care at a prearranged discounted rate if you ever need it.
In contrast, stand-alone senior living options offer no assurance of care when you need it, so you may need to move somewhere else in a hurry. If care is available, you have to pay full market rates, which can be financially overwhelming. When you compare stand-alone senior living options to Life Plan Communities, you see Life Plan Communities present a secure plan that removes worry for you and your whole family.
A Day in the Life at a Life Plan Community
Life Plan Communities offer you, the independent senior, a way to free yourself from daily household chores, bills and responsibilities, meaning you can live every day to the fullest. You might explore new hobbies, find fun ways to stay fit, or connect with the surrounding town. In Bartlett, this is something we love.
Most Life Plan Communities will give you the choice of an apartment or a cottage when you move in at the independent level. At The Oaks at Bartlett, there are more than 160 apartment and cottage units for the independent senior, making you part of a strong, supportive community.
One of the most popular reasons for choosing a Life Plan Community is that future care is planned for. Should you ever need it, dedicated care teams will shepherd your short-term and long-term skilled nursing journey. The Oaks also provides assisted living, memory care, and other higher levels of support.
