La Costa Glen
Redefines Retirement Lifestyles
How do you
picture your future? For many of us, our expectations may center
on a number of common themes - such as health, happiness and fulfillment.
However, each of us still has a unique vision of what we want
our individual lifestyle to include, especially in retirement.
As the current
and next generations continue to redefine retirement, a new style
of senior living communities has emerged - one designed to embrace
a more vibrant, year-round, on-the-go lifestyle, further enhanced
by the availability of on-site care. Continuing Care Retirement
Communities, or CCRCs, are leading new trends in retirement living
as adults remain active and healthy into their 70s, 80s and beyond.
These communities offer residents the opportunity to create their
own maintenance-free lifestyles, surrounded by resort-style services
and amenities. Residents of a CCRC are free to take off on a vacation
to the Caribbean, or simply enjoy a stroll through the neighborhood,
having the peace of mind that both their residence and their future
are being well cared for.
According
to recent surveys, over 725,000 people live in CCRCs nationwide,
making these communities the fastest-growing segment of the senior
housing industry. This growth is not only the result of a new
lifestyle choice, but also reflects the financial security a CCRC
affords residents through predictable monthly expenses and access
to a continuum of care. Many CCRCs also offer partially refundable
entrance fees that provide sound financial protection. Considering
that long-term care in California can cost up to $94,000 per year,
families can easily see why a CCRC is such a sound investment.
La Costa Glen,
one of the premier CCRCs in Southern California, is located in
Carlsbad and is surrounded by more than 200 acres of dedicated
natural space. Since this award-winning CCRC opened in 2002, many
seniors have chosen its invigorating lifestyle. La Costa Glen
leads the way in senior living by offering a variety of housing
options; a comfortable lifestyle, free from the cares of maintaining
a home; easy access to major shopping areas and restaurants; a
comprehensive package of services, amenities, activities, fine
dining and transportation; and the added security of knowing on-site
long-term care - assisted living, skilled nursing and memory support
- is available and included, if ever needed.
In addition,
La Costa Glen's Fourth Phase will add four new residential apartment
buildings, garden villas and a host of additional amenities, including
a state-of-the-art movie theatre and a fitness center with an
indoor swimming pool and spa. The sponsors of La Costa Glen, Continuing
LifeŽ Communities, have two other locations, Morningside of Fullerton
and University Village Thousand Oaks. This way of life is designed
to inspire physical, emotional and social well-being.
As you plan
ahead, think about how you are going to put your unique stamp
on your retirement. A continuing care retirement community, such
as La Costa Glen, is where your active retirement lifestyle may
really begin.
