Why Location Matters for Your Health Care
There are a lot of factors to consider when deciding where to retire. Do you want to stay in your current location? Will you move to be closer to children and grandchildren? How should you best prepare for potential future senior healthcare needs?
Some of these questions are more personal in nature, and you should use your best judgment. Others, however, are more involved. For instance, many of us must decide if we want to age in our homes or move to an independent living community where we will be surrounded by new friends while enjoying a host of amenities and daily activities.
Senior Care in the Augusta/Evans Area
Whether you decide to stay in your home or move to a retirement community, it’s beneficial to do a bit of research on the availability of healthcare options in your area. If you happen to live in or around Augusta or Evans, Georgia, you won’t have to worry about your future health care needs. Augusta is well known for its access to great healthcare, particularly senior healthcare, options.
Moving to a retirement community is a personal decision, but they do have many benefits, particularly when it comes to senior care. That said, not all retirement communities are the same. For instance, Brandon Wilde is what’s known as a Life Plan Community.
Life Plan Communities Explained
Life Plan Communities offer a wide variety of services (maintenance, linen service, housekeeping, dining) and amenities (fitness area, pool, classes, and clubs and socialization activities) for those enjoying independent living along with higher levels of care, including personal care, memory care, short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing.
LifeCare® is a type of contract offered by Life Plan Communities. We won’t go into the fine print here, but there are many benefits to moving to a community that offers LifeCare®:

- Guaranteed access to a full continuum of quality on-site care, including personal care, short- and long-term rehab, skilled nursing and memory care, at predictable monthly rates that are far below market rates
