Do I Qualify for a Life Plan Community?

Choosing to join a Life Plan Community (also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC) — like Vista Point at Fairview — often comes with questions that go beyond services, amenities, or dining options. One of the most fundamental questions is: “What are the qualifications for a Life Plan Community?” To help you better understand retirement community requirements, let’s look at how to qualify for a CCRC by breaking it down into the components of Life, Plan, and Community.

Bring Your Retirement Goals to Life

When selecting a community, you’ll want one with the services, amenities, and activities that align with your vision for the future. One of the reasons age and health qualifications for senior living exist is that we want you to enjoy life to the fullest. That means being able to live independently and take care of your daily needs. We’ll still handle all the chores — including maintenance, housekeeping, and cooking — so you can focus on living life your way.

You Have a Plan for the Future

One of the advantages of choosing a Life Plan Community is the peace of mind that comes from having a plan in place. With access to our continuum of on-site care, if you or your spouse ever need a higher level of support, your loved ones won’t have to worry — you’ll already be prepared.

You’re Joining a Community

Vista Point provides residents with an active and engaging lifestyle because we are a truly resident-driven community. That means we share in the activities and services together. It also means we share the financial responsibility of care across the community, since only a few residents need higher levels of care at any given time. Financial qualifications ensure that we can continue providing access and support to those who need it most.

Is it Possible to Wait Too Long?

Who knows what the future holds? You may be in excellent health today and think, I’ll move to a community someday. But waiting too long can bring challenges. Here are three reasons you may want to decide sooner rather than later:

  • Control your lifestyle: To move into independent living at a Life Plan Community, you must be healthy enough to live on your own. Some people wait too long, experience an unexpected health issue, and end up qualifying only for assisted living instead of independent living.
  • Control your floor plan: If you want a specific residence or floor plan, waiting could mean missing out — or being placed on a waitlist until your preferred option becomes available.
  • Control your future: Choosing to move gives you more control over your future. You can select the community that best fits your lifestyle and budget, while also ensuring access to health services — removing worry and uncertainty for your loved ones.
