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 rehabilitation, home care, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and more.

Life Plan Communities are designed for seniors of various ages, offering a unique mix of housing, health care, and social opportunity. Residents live independently in private apartments while benefitting from convenient services and amenities such as housekeeping, transportation, chef-prepared dining, fitness centers, and more. A key feature for seniors is having access to multiple levels of on-site care should their health needs change in the future.

Active adult communities are designed for adults aged 55 and over, offering an independent lifestyle with opportunities for social connection and wellness. Residents live in single-family homes or condominiums with access to a variety of amenities such as fitness centers, swimming pools, clubhouses, and more. While the community handles general maintenance like lawn care and snow removal, residents are responsible for the maintenance of their own homes and driveways. Since active adult communities are geared towards independent seniors, they usually do not provide on-site health care services.

The difference between independent living and assisted living is the amount of daily support needed by the individual. Independent living is designed for seniors who don’t require daily assistance but enjoy the amenities, services, and social opportunities available at a senior living community. Assisted living, on the other hand, is designed for seniors who require some assistance with activities of daily living (such as bathing, grooming, or medication management) while still promoting an independent lifestyle.

Independent living at Monroe Village is a lifestyle built around freedom, beauty, and growth. Residents enjoy spacious apartment homes, concierge services, wellness programming, gourmet dining, community events, and more – all without the responsibilities of traditional homeownership. In addition, residents benefit from the friendships, connection, and support that come with living in a vibrant senior living community.

The cost of independent living at Monroe Village varies by individual based on apartment size, location, and contract type. However, all residents pay a one-time entrance fee and an ongoing monthly service fee.

• The entrance fee secures your apartment home and grants priority access to on-site health care services.
• The monthly service fee is based on the size of your home and the number of occupants. It covers most of your living expenses in one payment, making your finances more predictable.
