Do CCRCs offer different types of residency agreements?  

Yes, two common types are Lifecare and Fee-for-Service. At a Fee-for-Service CCRC, residents have the full continuum of healthcare services but costs increase as the resident moves to either personal care or nursing care. At a Lifecare CCRC, residents pay a slightly larger monthly fee in residential (independent) living, but if residents move to either personal care or nursing care, the costs remain the same (except for annual increases) and don’t escalate like they do in a Fee-for-Service community.

A warm and friendly environment in a place that encourages people to be genuine. An inclusive community that supports diversity provides the opportunity for all people to be comfortable sharing who they are and experience belonging. In order to encourage people to share their genuine selves, White Horse Village will embark on a purposeful endeavor to embrace diversity, inclusion and equity. Diversity of thought, experiences and opinions will add variety and interest to our environment, bringing together an assortment of life experiences and expanding our worldviews. Becoming a more inclusive community provides the opportunity for all people to feel welcome and valued. This type of culture creates a space for people to share their gifts, find purpose and meaning, experience a sense of belonging and flourish.
