What Is a Life Plan
Community and Life Care?
Life Plan Communities (also known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities) offer a range of care options, from independent living to skilled nursing, all within one campus.
At Waverly Heights, we are a nonprofit Life Plan Community that provides independent living, personal care, memory care, and skilled nursing and rehabilitation on a beautifully landscaped 63-acre campus. Although many residents move to residential living first, others transition directly to our personal care or memory care homes.
Life Care is the contractual plan for the care provided.
What Are the Benefits
of a Life Plan Community?
Life Plan Communities offer maintenance-free living, social events, fitness amenities, gourmet dining, and educational programs on one campus. They foster a sense of community and promote person-centered wellness.
At Waverly Heights, our healthcare team meets daily to ensure consistent communication and collaboration across the entire community. As needs arise, residents can seamlessly transition through our various levels of care. Our team works to ensure a smooth transition as appropriate for optimal dignity and quality of life.
