Forget everything you thought you knew about retirement living. Today’s independent Life Plan Communities (also known as a CCRC, Continuing Care Retirement Community) are not about winding down; they’re about living boldly, fully and on your terms!
If you’re 62 years or better, now is the perfect time to move into a vibrant, maintenance-free community that frees you to focus on what matters most: you!
Here’s why more active adults are choosing to make the move to Life Plan Communities sooner—and loving every minute of it:
- Live an Active Life, Every Single Day
Picture this: mornings filled with Zumba classes or brisk walks on peaceful, scenic trails. Afternoons at the art studio, in the pool or in lively conversation with friends over coffee. Independent living communities are built to energize your days. With on-site fitness centers, one-on-one personal training, hobby clubs and curated events, you don’t merely stay active — you flourish.
This isn’t about slowing down. It’s about having more time and more options to live the life you love!
- Ditch the Chores. Embrace Freedom.
Say goodbye to home maintenance, yard work and endless to-do lists. In a Life Plan Community, everything is managed for you. That means more freedom to travel, volunteer, learn something new—or simply relax.Imagine heading out on a two-week trip, simply closing the door behind you — no worries, to-dos, lingering doubts about locks, lights or security issues – just the calm confidence knowing everything at home is handled. That’s the kind of peace and freedom this unique independent senior living lifestyle gives you.
- Find Your People and Build Lasting Connections
“Community” isn’t just a buzzword in a Life Plan Community, it’s a way of life. Independent living brings together people with shared values, interests and a passion for living well. Whether you’re enjoying wine tastings, game nights, lectures or outings, you’ll find yourself surrounded by new friends who feel like family.
This is your chance to create deep, meaningful relationships in a community that feels like home from day one.
- Plan Ahead—and Enjoy Peace of Mind
Right now, you’re independent—and that’s exactly why now is the best time to move. Life Plan Communities offer a dynamic lifestyle, plus the comfort of knowing that, if your needs ever change, you won’t have to move again. Assisted living, rehabilitation, skilled nursing and memory care options are available right on campus, if/when needed – all covered at a fixed, predetermined cost. No significant increase in your monthly fee.
Moving to a Life Plan Community is a smart, empowering move that protects your independence for the long run—while giving your loved ones peace of mind, too.
- Smart Living with Real Financial Advantages
Moving to an independent Life Plan Community often involves selling a home and freeing up funds to enjoy life on your terms. Monthly service fees are predictable and often include utilities, meals and housekeeping—so there are fewer surprises and more clarity in your budget.
A unique bonus to Life Plan Communities is the significant tax benefit—including deductions for healthcare reserve fees and relief from annual property taxes, especially in higher-cost areas like Long Island.
Why Wait? It’s Time to Live the Best of Your Life!
You’ve worked hard. You’ve raised a family, built a career and checked all the boxes. Now, is the time to embrace what is most meaningful in life — joy, wellness, friendships and freedom!
Independent Life Plan Communities are redefining senior living and the concept of aging well. They’re about living better and bolder! If you’re 62 years or older, now is the perfect time to make a proactive choice for your future — why wait for a need to arise when you can make the move on your own terms, while you’re active, independent and ready to enjoy everything this lifestyle has to offer.
Make plans to start a fresh chapter of your life today. The vibrant, fulfilling lifestyle you deserve awaits you—and the door is wide open.
