Who is HumanGood?
For more than 70 years, HumanGood has been a leading nonprofit senior living provider of exemplary homes and services for older adults. Today, we serve more than 13,000 residents in 120 Life Plan and Affordable Housing Communities nationwide.
What's the nonprofit difference?
Judson Park is part of HumanGood, a leading nonprofit provider of senior living that’s been in operation for more than 70 years. As a nonprofit, we don’t need to provide a return to shareholders, so we are able to reinvest our financial resources back into our communities. In addition, we operate a nonprofit foundation that provides financial support to Life Plan contract residents who outlive their resources through no fault of their own. That’s the peace of mind a nonprofit offers.

Simply put, a Life Plan Community (also known as a continuing care retirement community or CCRC) is a community for older adults that offers independent living residences and access to higher levels of care all on one campus.
Independent residences are typically outfitted with the latest in home fits and finishes and offer the freedom of maintenance-free living. For a set monthly fee, so much is included: fresh dining, housekeeping, engaging amenities, and a myriad of cultural, social, educational, fitness and wellness programs.
Should a time come when extra support would be beneficial or required, a plan is in place. Specialized care, such as assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing, right on campus provides just what’s needed when it’s needed in welcoming environments.
Choosing to move to a Life Plan Community is about more than a maintenance-free lifestyle and having a plan in place for future care needs. If you are a proactive person, it’s about setting yourself up to ensure you are living life to the fullest. By having more time to do what you want to do — not what you have to do. By expanding your opportunities to be socially connected. By living in an environment designed to support total wellness. And, ultimately, by having security and peace of mind for you and those who love you.
A 55+ community offers independent living homes that usually include a maintenance-free lifestyle and a campus with common spaces and amenities. A Life Plan Community such as Judson Park does the same, and, in addition, it offers various care options on campus. This means that if the health of you or your spouse ever changes, a plan will be in place. You won't need to move or be separated.

Judson Park offers Independent Living apartments in a wide range of sizes and floor plans. All homes feature modern fits and finishes, and many have private balconies and stunning water views. And, of course, all residents have access to a wealth of amenities on our campus.
As an Independent Living resident with a Life Plan contract, you will pay a monthly fee and a one-time entrance fee. Both types of fees vary depending on the size and type of home you choose. In addition, entrance fees vary by whether you select a rebatable or nonrebatable entrance fee option. (Rebatable means a portion or your entrance fee is returned to you or your estate when you leave the community).
Please contact our sales counselors to learn more about available floor plans, fees and details of our contract.

The benefit of a Life Plan Community such as Judson Park is that you have a plan in place for possible future care needs. On our campus, we offer not only independent living residences but also care options such as assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing that can help with short-term recovery from a health event or a long-term care need. We can also assist you with adding home health services while living independently. As needs change, we work with you to determine what options are best and to add support only as needed to preserve autonomy and independence.
No, Judson Park is not a traditional nursing home. It is a Life Plan Community, where the majority of residents live independently. We offer Independent Living residences and a continuum of care options — Assisted Living, Memory Support and Skilled Nursing — should they be needed on one campus. Our care options include Short-Stay Rehabilitation Nursing for people who have been discharged from a hospital stay but are not yet strong enough to return to their homes.
