Holistic Living in Life Plan Communities: Providing a Continuum of Care for Seniors

If you’re retired or soon to be retired, you owe it to yourself to learn about residential options, including life plan communities.In contrast to traditional continuing care retirement communities, life plan communities recognize that seniors are retiring from work, not from life. They are designed for residents who still want to participate fully in their communities, engaging in activities, programs, and volunteer opportunities. But they also provide the security of different levels of care and assistance, available on an as-needed basis.To help you determine whether a life plan community is right for you, author Frederick Herb first describes the range of residential options for retirees. He then focuses on the structure and services of life plan communities, payment plans, and living arrangements. The book also offers detailed information to help you select the residential option that will best meet your needs and budget. You’ll learn how to understand the resident care agreement, what to inspect before moving in, and how to finance and arrange your move.With Herb’s facts and advice at your fingertips, you’ll be well prepared for an easy transition into the next stage of an enjoyable, fulfilling life.
