Lifecare at Whitney Center
Entering into a lifecare contract can help safeguard financial assets and secure any future long-term healthcare you may need—all while experiencing resort-quality lifestyle benefits. Lifecare is a great idea whether or not you have long-term care insurance, because it protects your finances. As a Lifecare senior living community, Whitney Center provides independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care and memory care right on campus, in one familiar location. If all Whitney Center offered were the powerful benefits of Lifecare we would still be a great choice for senior living. But we go above and beyond, providing a high level of amenities and services that benefit your whole life.
Unbundled Lifecare Contract Option
In addition, Whitney Center offers an Unbundled Lifecare contract. This contract includes the same services, amenities, and access to long-term care as a Full Lifecare contract, however, with a lower entry fee. With an Unbundled Lifecare contract, assisted living, assisted living with memory support and skilled nursing would be private pay - if and when you ever needed it.
