Independent Living in Whiting, NJ

A Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), is a full-service retirement community that offers the privacy of your own residence, the companionship of community life, convenient services and amenities, a full calendar of activities and the freedom to live to your potential. A special benefit is having access to high-quality health services, which can include skilled nursing care, home care, physical therapy, and more.

Life Plan Communities offer a unique mix of housing, hospitality, social opportunity, and healthcare for seniors of various ages. Residents live independently in private apartments or freestanding homes while benefitting from professional services and amenities that make life easier. This includes weekly housekeeping and maintenance, transportation services, restaurant-style meals, and much more.

Active adult communities are geared toward the youngest seniors, offering single-family homes or condominiums and various community amenities. While the groundskeeping and general maintenance (lawn mowing, snow removal, etc.) are taken care of, residents are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of their own homes and driveways.

Life Plan Communities often start with independent living options where residents maintain their own lifestyle. LPCs provide gradual levels of health care, which can include assisted living and other services such as skilled nursing. This allows residents to age in place as their health needs change. Residents typically enter into a contract that guarantees access to future care, often with a one-time entrance fee and monthly fees.

Assisted living focuses more on immediate supportive services. This is ideal for those who require a helping hand with activities of daily living or household tasks but do not need round-the-clock medical care. These communities typically operate on a monthly fee basis without the entrance fee structure seen in LPCs.
