How a Life Plan Community like Fellowship Senior Living Works

When you think about your retirement future, do you picture yourself mowing the lawn, cleaning your house and running yourself to medical appointments? And if you fall or get sick, will you be able to take care of yourself? Thoughts like these can feel overwhelming.

Instead, imagine living out your retirement years on a wooded campus where home maintenance is taken care of for you and all your medical necessities are handled in one place. This is what life can be at a life plan community like Fellowship Senior Living. From a fun, active lifestyle to peace of mind about your future health needs, our campus destination offers everything you’ll ever need.

What is a Life Plan Community?

A life plan community offers residents maintenance-free, independent living in an active community alongside healthcare and medical services they can access all in one place if they need them. Compared to aging in place, or aging at home, a life plan community gives older adults an active lifestyle, top-notch care and predictable costs.

Another key aspect of a life plan community is peace of mind. When you’re not constantly worrying about your house’s upkeep or home maintenance bills, you can relax and do more of what you actually enjoy. And you won’t have to worry about what you’ll do if your health changes because a life plan community has all medical services available right on campus.

How Does a Life Plan Community Work?

To meet the needs of today’s seniors, senior living communities have transitioned from care providers to vibrant communities that offer a range of residential options, medical services, activities and programming, and personal exploration.

When you enter a life plan community at the independent living level, you’ll be set for the rest of your life with all the amenities and healthcare you’ll ever need. At Fellowship Senior Living, this includes luxurious amenities, fresh and innovative first-class dining, BRAVO wellness programing and on-site medical care for if and when you require it.
