More and more people are considering the many advantages of Life Plan Communities. These are age-restricted, amenity-rich residences where people live independently, with health care services available should the need ever arise. There are many practical reasons to choose a Life Plan Community, and one of them is that residents in this type of community are proving to be happier and healthier.

Survey Says:
Life Plan Community residents report greater emotional, social, physical, intellectual, and vocational wellness than their counterparts who don’t live in Life Plan Communities. They also report significantly more healthy behaviors and engage in more intellectual pursuits. Nearly 70% reported that moving to a Life Plan Community has somewhat or greatly improved their social wellness.
