Frequently Asked Questions

With traditional continuing care retirement communities, residents move as their needs change – from independent living, to assisted living, to nursing care. With The Village at Orchard Ridge, our approach is to provide access to health services in your home, including wellness support, companion care and assistive services. Our goal is to help you stay as independent as long as possible in your apartment or cottage. We also have memory support and skilled nursing neighborhoods with private suites for those who need or might choose a higher level of care outside of their home.

Living in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) is a way to free yourself from the chores and responsibilities of home ownership so you can spend more time enjoying the things you love to do. It’s also a way to give your family the reassurance that you’re enjoying life, surrounded by friends and always close to any care, should you need it. Be proactive in planning for your future and avoid making a decision under duress should a health crisis strike. It also protects your assets and reinforces your financial security.
