How Life Plan Communities Offer Independence Now, Peace of Mind for the Future

Life can throw you a lot of unexpected twists and turns. Maybe you get a flat tire on your way to work, or perhaps you’ve started dinner and forgotten an essential ingredient. No matter what the unexpected incidents are, planning ahead and being prepared can make all the difference. Those who live at Berkeley Square and Westover know their community comes with a Community First Solutions support system to meet them at every step of life. A Life Plan Community is a senior living campus that provides access to multiple levels of care (independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing) all in one place, so residents never need to relocate as their health needs change. By choosing a Life Plan Community, you can count on amenities like lawn care and housekeeping today, and the full healthcare support you need if your situation changes in the future.

 

Enjoy living the life you’ve earned

Among the benefits of living within a Life Plan Community (LPC) is getting back more time to enjoy what you love without the hassle of lawn work, home repairs or housekeeping. The ease of maintenance-free living at either Berkeley Square or Westover means we sweat the small stuff, so you can focus on what matters. Best of all, each of these services is included with your monthly payments, so there are no surprises.

 

Get Social

Did you know that, according to a Population Reference Bureau (PRB) summary of recent research supported by the National Institute on Aging, older Americans with strong social connections are generally healthier and live longer than their socially isolated peers? In our communities, connecting socially, making new friends and enjoying time together are definitely part of the plan! And with all your practical needs met, you have even more time to enjoy events, activities, social gatherings and planned trips.

 

Experience True Peace of Mind

As your needs evolve through your life, a Life Plan Community offers the assurance of a continuum of care to meet your health needs along the way. Community First Solutions offers a wide range of care services for each step of life. When choosing Berkeley Square or Westover communities, you have access to all levels of care, ranging from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing care and even personalized memory care.

Knowing that no matter what support you may need as you age is readily available can give you and your loved one peace of mind and eliminate the stress of making these decisions later. Whether you are considering the next chapter of your life or have a loved one who may benefit from an environment that fosters ease of living, social connection and care at every stage, Community First Solutions Senior Living Communities looks forward to helping you reach your goals.
