When considering senior living, it’s important to consider all of your options. Do you want to live in an Independent living community where only one or two levels of care are offered and you may need to move later on? Do you want complete peace of mind? Many seniors, of course, choose peace of mind, and why shouldn’t they? After all, they want to invest wisely and live a lifestyle that can not only enhance their life, but free them from a wide range of worries and stress.
“Although many seniors think that Lifecare Retirement Communities are expensive when compared to senior living communities, it’s important to understand why,” says Jean Eccleston of Kendal on Hudson, the only true Lifecare Retirement Community in Westchester County. “Much of the time, it has everything to do with levels of service, the stable cost of health care and the worry-free lifestyle residents enjoy. At other senior living communities, you simply don’t have the predictability of cost and service that are provided in a life care community. Kendal on Hudson gives seniors absolute peace of mind and freedom.”
5 Ways a Lifecare Retirement Community Offers Peace of Mind
Lifecare Retirement Communities provide residents relief from current responsibilities so you can simply enjoy your days doing whatever you’d like to do, whenever you’d like. Consider the following ways that Lifecare offers peace of mind for life.
- Protection from the rising cost of health care. At Lifecare Retirement Communities such as Kendal on Hudson, seniors don’t need to think about the rising costs of health care because once they are accepted and pay their entrance fee, they remain paying the independent living monthly fee , no matter how their health care needs may change.
- Comfort in knowing all your care needs will be met. Lifecare Retirement Communities encompass all levels of care, from Independent Living and Assisted Living to all levels of Memory Care. Most senior living communities require a move once care needs become too advanced because they are not equipped to handle them.
- No drastic price increases. Again, once residents pay their entrance fee, monthly fees remain at the independent monthly fee. The community does increase fees slowly over time at about the rate of inflation, but never because you require a different care environment.
- Freedom from homeownership. No matter if it rains, snows or is sunny, you don’t need to worry about the various tasks of homeownership. Say goodbye to keeping water out of your basement, shoveling your driveway or sidewalk and weeding and mowing grass. We take care of all of that for you.
- Services and amenities available at no extra cost. From scheduled transportation, maintenance, housekeeping and more, seniors can enjoy a number of features. Enjoy your free gym membership, try any classes you like at no extra fee, use our scheduled transportation instead of your own car. We have everything you desire with no hidden fees!
