What is a Life Plan Community?

Living in a retirement community offers numerous perks and advantages, and a primary benefit is the continuum of care that is easily available. A life plan community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), offers a wide range of services and lifestyle choices to meet the changing needs of residents as they age.

There are many advantages of life plan communities, including the wide range of lifestyles and tiered levels of care. Communities such as these encourage residents to enjoy a maintenance-free life supported by a variety of community services and activities. At Croasdaile Village you’ll find a range of lifestyle options to accommodate  many different preferences and needs:

Independent Living

For those who want a lively, social retirement free from the burdens of home upkeep, independent living is the perfect solution. Enjoy your work-free life to the fullest, savoring the luxury of time and a worry-free lifestyle without concerns about cleaning, home repair, or lawn care.

Explore a variety of community clubs and activities and life alongside neighbors who share your excitement for life. At Croasdaile Village, residents have a choice of apartments, park homes, and cottages floor plan options.

Assisted Living

Perfect for the senior who values their independence but could benefit from some additional assistance, assisted living options give you flexibility and freedom as well as peace of mind and are one of the key benefits of CCRCs. In addition to the amenities of independent living, assisted living services provide support for medication management, dressing, walking, and other daily tasks. Continue to enjoy a private residence and your daily schedule while also receiving personalized support. The Croasdaile Home Care Program offers home health services to both assisted and independent living residents.

Rehabilitation Services

If you need rehab services in the future, at a life plan community finding support is both convenient and close to home. Should illness, injury, or surgery disrupt your routine, you can take comfort in knowing that on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapists are ready to assist you.

Croasdaile Village has been recognized as one of the best short-term rehabilitation centers in the country by U.S. News & World Report. The Durham rehab facility also accepts direct admissions for inpatient treatment. In addition to daily therapy, seniors in the rehab program can enjoy the active social life and amenities-rich campus of the Croasdaile Village community.

 Long-Term Care & Skilled Nursing

For seniors who need more involved daily support, long-term care options are an important benefit of life plan communities. The Pavilion at Croasdaile Village offers on-site healthcare services, including 24/7 skilled nursing, post-hospitalization support, and chronic condition management. While some senior living communities only offer long-term care for pre-established residents, at Croasdaile Village skilled nursing services are available as direct admissions.

Memory Care

For seniors managing Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related needs, The Magnolia at Croasdaile Village provides dignified support. Residents reside in private suites and enjoy inviting common spaces including a family-style dining venue and an outdoor seating area with a private garden. The Croasdaile Village memory care program, Heartfelt Connections, celebrates accomplishment in day-to-day activities and highlights and encourages the remaining abilities of residents through customized support.
