A Life Plan Community provides independent living with guaranteed access to higher levels of care—such as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing or rehabilitation—without requiring a move to a different community. Sedgebrook is a Life Plan Community that offers a Type C Fee-for-Service contract. This model ensures that while health services are guaranteed, you will only pay for them when needed.
Amenities of a Life Plan Community
One of the key benefits of a Life Plan Community is the vibrant lifestyle it offers. Seniors enjoy a maintenance-free way of living with access to a wide range of amenities, including:
- Spacious residences
- Restaurant-style dining with diverse menu options
- Fitness centers and wellness programs to support active aging
- Social and recreational activities to foster connections and engagement
- On-site entertainment and cultural events for lifelong learning and fun
- Housekeeping and home maintenance services for a worry-free lifestyle
These amenities create an environment where seniors can thrive while enjoying the freedom and independence they desire.
Health Services at a Life Plan Community
A defining feature of a Life Plan Community is access to a full continuum of care within the same community. This means that if health needs change, residents can receive the necessary support without the stress of relocating.
Continuing Care
Life Plan Communities provide ongoing access to multiple levels of care, ensuring older adults receive the right support at the right time.
Levels of Care
- Independent Living: A maintenance-free, active lifestyle with engaging amenities
- Assisted Living: Personalized support with activities of daily living (ADLs), like dressing, medication management, and meals
- Memory Care: Specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, offering a secure environment with tailored support, structured routines, and cognitive-enriching activities to promote well-being
- Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation: Professional medical care and therapy services for short-term recovery or long-term needs
Worry-Free Future
Because a Type C Life Plan Community guarantees access to care within the community, seniors and their families don’t have to worry about unexpected moves or the stress of finding new care options later in life.
Who Is Best Suited for a Type C Life Plan Community?
A Type C Life Plan Community is ideal for:
- Seniors planning for future care needs who want to ensure they have a stable plan in place but do not wish to pay for health services until they are needed
- Couples who want to stay together even if their care needs change at different times
- Families looking for a long-term care solution with a secure environment
Why Choose a Type C Life Plan Community Over Other Senior Living Options?
- Independent Living Only: While independent living communities provide an active lifestyle, they don’t offer guaranteed access to higher levels of care. Residents may have to move if their needs change. Type C Life Plan Communities guarantee access to care within the community.
- Nursing Homes: Nursing homes typically provide skilled nursing care but lack a Life Plan Community’s lifestyle, amenities, and independent living options.
- Rental Communities: While rental-based senior living communities offer flexibility, they do not provide the financial predictability that a Type C Life Plan Community ensures.
