Better understanding for a better future.

A Life Plan Community (LPC)—also referred to as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)—offers a convenient, satisfying place to call home, with a variety of floor plan options and neighborhoods to choose from. Services and amenities come with a full continuum of on-site health care to bring you real peace of mind. Health care includes priority access to health and wellness services, assisted living, memory care support, post-acute and long-term care. You live in a residential apartment home or cottage where you can participate in a variety of community activities with others who share similar values, interests and outlook. When you move to your new home at Village On The Isle, you are free from the stress of maintenance, housekeeping, and daily meal preparation. Plus, you never have to worry about an abrupt change in your lifestyle if you should need health care support. Coordinating your care needs and preferences will be readily available for you.

Life Care is a financial arrangement for how you receive and pay for comprehensive healthcare services. With Life Care, you pay an initial entrance fee and a predictable monthly fee. You will appreciate the savings in the long run, since your monthly fee remains the same across our full continuum that leads to substantially discounted market rates for your future health care. In a community without Life Care, you will pay a higher cost of care for assisted living, memory care support, and nursing care at the time you need it that can drain your precious life savings. Our residents have been savvy planners all their life and prefer no surprises, so come learn more about how you can save thousands of dollars and receive quality care that brings peace of mind to you and your family.

Our recommendation is to come and meet with us to review your long-term care insurance coverage. Village On The Isle offers multiple contracts, and we can assist you in evaluating what option best aligns with your policy to give you the best financial protection for your care needs. Our retirement counselors are trained to assist you in evaluating long-term care insurance you have available.

The reality is, living at Village On The Isle is like living anywhere. The difference is, you will gain a new maintenance-free lifestyle, new friends, convenient and engaging opportunities, and the freedom you're accustomed to, but with extra comfort, ease, and safety. Life at Village On The Isle will provide you daily enjoyment of chef-prepared meals, a wide range of ongoing social, recreational and spiritual activities and events, routine housekeeping services, scheduled transportation and outings, routine and emergency maintenance services, around-the-clock security with an urgent response system, and much more.

The primary difference between a Life Plan Community like Village On The Isle and rental communities is that rental communities typically do not include a full continuum of care, such as Skilled Nursing care. Also, if a resident develops the need for these services, they may not have priority access to this care, and they will be responsible for paying the full market rate. Also, since these additional services like skilled care are not available on-site, those requiring care may need to move away from the community at their greatest time of need.
