Is Life Care Right for Me?
Imagine enjoying your retirement with confidence, knowing your lifestyle and healthcare needs are covered. Brookdale Life Care communities help make that possible.
You can find exceptional services and amenities, chef-inspired dining, welcoming accommodations and a vibrant calendar of events. More importantly, Life Care communities offer peace of mind. If your financial or medical needs change, you can likely continue living in the same supportive environment you’ve come to call home.
Top Five Reasons to Choose Life Care
There are plenty of reasons why seniors choose to move into Life Care communities—here are five of the most common:
1. Peace of mind
Life Care communities can offer lifelong access to care—even if your financial funds are changed outside of your control.* Once you settle in, you can relax knowing if your circumstances change, your address can stay the same.
*The life care guarantee is subject to the terms & conditions of the Residency Contract.
2. Enhanced living
Life Care communities deliver enhanced living with beautiful surroundings, comfortable living spaces, chef-inspired dining and engaging events. Many sit near the coast or in scenic areas, giving you peaceful places to soak up the sun or relax with a good book.
3. Freedom to choose
At each Life Care community, you can find a tailored calendar of events created with you in mind. Join a dance class, catch a live performance, volunteer or explore local attractions. How you spend your time is up to you.
4. Fewer chores
We take care of the cooking, cleaning, laundry and yard work—so you can spend your time doing what you love. Dive into hobbies, connect with friends or simply enjoy your day.
5. More social connections
Life Care living means built-in opportunities for connection. Whether you’re joining a fitness class, taking part in a club or enjoying a game night, making friends comes naturally. When family visits, you can host them in your comfortable apartment or inviting shared spaces.
"For us, all frustrations and stresses of aging securely and happily have been lifted from our shoulders. We describe our life as a ‘cruise on land.’ What could be better?"
"What can you do here? Almost anything you want to do. A recent weekly calendar of events listed 92 different things going on. Options included bridge, lectures, movies, book clubs, exercise classes, trips and meetings, just to list a few."
"There is a saying, ‘Time flies when you’re having fun,’ and that best describes our 6 1/2 years here at Freedom Village. After visiting a number of CCRC communities, we were drawn here because the residents and associates were so friendly and made us feel like we were home."
Telling the Family You’re Ready for a CCRC
Moving to a CCRC is an exciting life choice—and it starts with meaningful conversations. A Life Care community gives you the opportunity to take charge of your future by making proactive decisions about your health and lifestyle. When you share the news with loved ones, focus on the benefits and keep the dialogue open.
