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, care options such as assisted living and skilled nursing are available right on campus.

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 The Terraces at Summitview 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, care options are right at hand.

The Terraces at Summitview offers independent living apartments in a wide range of sizes and floor plans. All homes feature modern fits and finishes, and some have private patios. And, of course, all residents have access to a wealth of amenities across our 10-acre campus.

As an independent living resident, you will pay a monthly fee and a one-time $2,500 community fee. Monthly fees vary depending on the size and type of home you choose. For most residences, dining, weekly housekeeping and utilities are included.

No, The Terraces 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 care options — assisted living and skilled nursing care — 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.
